If I wanted to start a blog, but had no interest in managing the software of it, which platform should I choose? Honestly been out of the blogging space for so long, I have no idea what the options are outside of managed wordpress.

@thelinuxcast I'm probably not the person to answer, given that it's over 3 years since I posted on my blog. However, I will anyway. I use(d) jekyll and GitHub pages.

I can edit all my content in local md files and then just commit and push to have it published.

Have you ever used a different keyboard layout?

(Boost please)

@thelinuxcast I voted "QWERTY for life" and then remembered that I've worked in France and Poland which both use different layouts. Plus, I'm British and a UK keyboard is subtly different as well.

It's always good to get through a tutorial, and get to the hardest effing part and the person doing the tut just says "do this" and not how. That is infurating.

There's a big part of me that wants to ditch Gnome and go back to KDE Plasma. It's the part that sees something shiny and wants to touch it.

@thelinuxcast Shiny things break easy. I switched to LMDE last week. So solid, it's almost immutable. As things start to date, I can use Distrobox to install newer versions.

@thelinuxcast Tsk, tsk.

@thelinuxcast Wow. My first Linux install wasn't even in this millennium. ;-)

@thelinuxcast What's interesting is that it actually copied a Reddit post.

Goes to show, you should never trust a human. ;-)

Dear authors. If you follow me and I see that your stream is entirely made up of quotes from and about your latest book and links to buy it, sorry, I'm not going to follow back. You've made your point, but I don't need to see daily, weekly or even monthly ads for your book.
