XOR Texture is the cover photo for my LED matrix project. I love the simple beauty of this texture https://github.com/jsheedy/matrix-display

I became a strident anti-windows Linux propagandist, and spent untold hours configuring and compiling everything.
Many years later I recall being in a room with 3 other devs who sat down and got to work while I spent 30 minutes getting my wifi recompiled to support whatever the AP was using that I’d never seen before. The guys paying my hourly rate glared at me over their MacBooks.
A year later at another contract they put an old MacBook in front of me, and by the end of the day I had ordered my own personal one too and never looked back. Everything just worked. I had been trying to do music production on my own in Linux too. Switched to Mac and instantly my results massively improved.
A year ago I built my first gaming rig in a long long time and gave Linux on the desktop another shot. I tried valiantly. I’ve been a hacker and professional programmer for 25 years. I just couldn’t deal with all the brokenness. I paid for windows and enjoyed using the applications I was there for.
Linux is amazing, has dominated the world, and I use it every day all day in my work. I just won’t waste my time on desktop until I try again in 10 years.
