  • i work in IT, so linux at work was an immediate hit for me.
    It sounds weird, but doing it stuff on linux just feels kinda natural.

    because of work i tried to use it at home (asside from tinkering) but it didn’t work out nearly as well for a long time.
    the lack of game support meant i was mostly on windows.

    but thanks to minecraft and valves linux version of dota and csgo, it evened out.
    and now thanks to proton im almost 99% on linux.

    i like linux for its customizability,
    its centralized & unintrusive updates,
    its advanced features (mdadm, btrfs, powerfull scripting), and because of the controll i have over my system.

    i dislike windows because of the design since win8,
    the lack of controll( bloatware just appears on my start menu, onedrive, cortana, recall),
    intrusive updates (installing updates on shutdown and reboot and “all your files are encrypted exactly where you left them”),
    constantly pestering me about getting the latest release,
    reseting my configurations on updates,
    and the ever changing labyrinth of menus when i need to fix / change something












  • i dont think there is a good soulution for you.
    if its out there, somebody will find it.

    you could host your own wordpress instance independent of WordPress.com.

    and you could add a robots.txt to tell google to not scan your content, or even completly block the user agents of known search engines.

    but blocking search engines is rather counterproductive if you want readers to find your blog.

    and even then more nefarious crawlers might ignore the robots.txt and spoof their user agent to find you.
