What this site is
A place for guides, write-ups and the notes I'd otherwise lose. Steam Deck optimisation, Linux, handhelds, hardware teardowns, and whatever else ends up on the bench.
Everything here is written the way I'd explain it to a friend: in order, assuming nothing, with the fluff cut out. If a step needs a warning, it gets one. If something is preference rather than fact, it says so.
The rule I write by
The rule
If I wouldn't be able to follow it six months from now with no memory of writing it, it isn't finished.
Around the place
- Guides — the long-form stuff. Start here.
- The Arch Chronicles — the story of switching to Linux, in progress.

Corrections are welcome and genuinely useful — if a step is wrong, out of date, or assumes something it shouldn't, I want to know.
