Linux is Hard » Distro Jockey

I’ve been writing on this website for two months now and I’ve had a ball. I’ve had the chance to start getting serious about using Linux and writing about the stuff I run into. I’m becoming a better writer and I’m learning to enjoy the research much quicker than I imagined.

I started out this website with the single idea that Linux is Hard and not many websites were willing to acknowledge that fact. I figured I’d stand out from the crowd because of some radical new perspective. Well, I was silly to imagine that I was the first to talk about how difficult Linux is (everyone knows it’s hard). Also, after two months I’m showing up well under the terms Gentoo, Xauthority, and Suse 9.3 - but the phrase (even in quotes) “Linux is Hard” shows me nowhere to be seen.

So this website is now “Distro Jockey”. Nothing has changed except the name is now much more indicative of the website content. This site is all about trying new things with GNU/Linux and having lots of fun with it. The fact is that many thousands of people have worked hard to create a lot of software and nobody has tried it all yet.

So as I change my tune I invite you all, once again, to get your hands dirty and install some new OS. Yes, Linux is hard, but there’s nothing to lose.
