Summary of art 2025 is out. well, summary of what I could scrounge out this year. This year's reflection is heavier to the point I split it into a separate, hidden page. mind the CWs before reading. https://jadeeverstone.com/everlog/posts/summary/2025
I was thinking about making a follow-up to my post on trying linux, but now that I'm daily driving it my experience is pretty mundane? in a good way. My computer & my tools work, just with slightly less annoyances & the ones that are there being mostly inconsequential

i mean as someone not bound to windows software it's worth staying for ease of updates & less resource hogging alone. But there's nothing too life-changing to write about

Honestly that would be a great point to make, that you can do your regular stuff on Linux just fine.

@luchovolke I guess so. But the real trick is making it more interesting than "it's a computer" lol
Hmm, since I'm gonna be updating the year on most of the pages anyways I might use this chance to do Javascript cleanup. Mostly removing unused scripts (nat learns how to use conditionals in 11ty templates, so I only add it to pages that need it) & fix the major oversight with the navbar still needing JS on mobile

On desktop it's fine, but the collapse as seen on mobile relies on JS. I imagine I missed this since it was added very early on, but it's kinda embarrasing since one of my main goals for the layout update is to make the main parts of the site useable with JS disabled 🥲

@ninacti0n I'm currently using Kubuntu! Mainly because I like the look & feel of plasma, and feel it'd be good to start with something more beginner-friendly

btw the irony of telling people to save my work with the recent twitter exodus is not lost on me. But yeah I am seriously considering leaving the internet & pulling the plug on my art accounts. So for those who still somehow care about my work, well, better saved than sorry
