Weeknote #1708

I'm writing this weeknote in a different location for a change. Right now, I'm on holiday in Lanzarote.

While I'm here, along with relaxing and spending some time with my family, I've also taken along my trusty ThinkPad[1]. Naturally, this means I've been tinkering with a fresh Arch install, and configuring things like Hyprland, and waybar.

It's a fun experiment, but it will also help me determine if I can both make Arch look and work well for me, and the same time ensuring it is something I can use full-time.


Still on the topic of laptops, I got my new work machine last week. A 16" MacBook Pro with a M4 Pro chip, 500 GB storage, and 24 GB memory. I've been setting up as per my recent guide, and also discovering things I missed off. I can't comment on the performance as I think I've only barely scratched the surface so far. However, I do feel like the keyboard has been improved since the M1 model?


Anyway, I'll keep it short this week. I've got a sunburn to catch.
