I'm back!!

Got my new SSH key hehe. Basically I fucked up my computer and had to reinstall Linux. I did something wrong when installing KDE and my login screen broke, then I tried uninstalling using a bunch of commands I really should have looked into more, and basically made my PC unbootable.

So what I did was use my live boot USB to transfer shit from my computer to my other USB, and then to my laptop. At the time I didn't know that I could just dump it on the 2nd hard disk I had, because Windows Fast Boot was a thing and I didn't know about that. I just didn't realize that mounting it was an option. Anyway, copying to/from a USB on my Windows laptop is so slow!! Especially compared to Linux. Wow!!

It's been a while since then. I learned about partitioning my drive so I can keep my files somewhat safe even when I fuck up and have to reinstall. I learned about Windows Fast Boot, how to disable it, and how to use Mint's backup tool to chuck a backup of my /home onto my Windows drive. It's so nice.

Currently updating my resume so I can apply to jobs. Presentation on Thursday.
