Man, I should be working on something I can actually put somewhere, but I just don't have the energy for it after work these days.

Instead, I assembled a modest new desktop and put Arch Linux on it. It's been _years_ since I used Linux (even more since I assembled a computer instead of just buying one from Apple) and it's really been a lot of fun. I've gone totally all-in-crazy with it to. I use this obscure tiling window manager called Sway, and built the whole machine into a tiny little small-form-factor case. It's been a LOT of fun and I've learned a hell of a lot.

My only issue is cooling this little bugger. I've got a fan in there now that _just_ fits, but it creates a crazy amount of turbulence noise if I put the side panel on. I've given up on air cooling and ordered a water all-in-one cooler instead. We'll see how that goes. But either way, it's a blast to try all this stuff out.

Once I get everything perfect with this new rig... I'll go back to trying to get comfortable with Rust. :D
