+## Intro
+
+I readded those two `Software I Use` type of page a few months ago and I really liked it so I am just going to do the same.
+
+As I am writing this it's only been a year since I learned about `GNU/Linux`. I didn't know anything about programming neither back then, and today, I am still learning new things everyday. Linux really does change your life.
+
+## Software I use(d)
+
+I remember reading those two pages from [Luke Smith](https://lukesmith.xyz/programs) and [zacoons](https://zacoons.com/stuff) this summer. I really liked them, so I am going to do the same (kind of the same).
+
+### Env
+
+When I first learned about Linux, everyone told me to install [Ubuntu](https://ubuntu.com), and so I did. I don't remember my experience using it (as I only used Ubuntu for like 3 days). But I remember staying late at night installing [Debian](https://www.debian.org) after learning that Ubuntu wasn't the **one and only Linux distro** existing.
+
+Learning about the others Desktop Environment was overwhelming as well, so I ran Debian headless (without a Desktop Environment) only to realize that a display server is vital if I want to make a normal use of my computer. So I installed and learned about Window Managers with i3.
+
+Debian was nice and made me happy (for a few months or so). But I quickly learned about rolling release distros and so I installed [Void Linux](https://voidlinux.org).
+
+_Void Linux_ is a really cool name. Void Linux **is** cool. `xbps` is cool. Everything about this distro **is cool**. [Wayland](https://wayland.freedesktop.org) **is** cool, [Sway](https://github.com/swaywm) sure was. And making symlinks between `/etc/sv` and `/var/services` to enable daemons was fire. I really loved using Void Linux, I used it with [GNOME](https://www.gnome.org) and [KDE](https://kde.org) plasma for months.
+
+Unfortunately, an app I wanted to use needed systemd as a dependency so I had to leave the runit init system. As I already used Debian I wanted to try another distro so I installed Arch.
+
+Arch is scary. I don't have much to say about it. I use it with [Hyprland](https://hypr.land).
+
+I wanted to try [suckless](https://suckless.org) software but meh, I am not leaving Wayland again.
+
+### Shell
+
+I used to only know good ol' [bash](https://www.gnu.org/software/bash).
+[fish](https://fishshell.com) was kind of a deal breaker compared to the bourne again shell, but recently I've switched to [zsh](https://www.zsh.org).
+
+### Editor
+
+I started off with VSCode, but I just knew that it wasn't the right one, I am now using [Neovim](https://neovim.io), I really like the project, but I don't feel like neovim is the right one neither (but the lua scripting is fire). Maybe I will give [Helix](https://helix-editor.com) a shot.
+
+### Web browser
+
+I use Firefox, with [arkenfox](https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js).
+
+### Search Engine
+
+I used DuckDuckGo before and then ran SearXNG on my personal server. But now I just choose one [here](https://searx.space).
+
+## Software I don't want to use
+
+### Google
+
+I started ungoogle-ing things this summer. Using another email provider, another email client, etc isn't that bad. The most difficult part for me is by far android. I have a Xiaomi phone I bought years ago and I am running HyprOs 2.0 on it.
+
+It's currently impossible (or at least, very difficult) to unlock the bootloader of phones running this particuliar OS. So I am trapped, I can't install a custom android ROM such as [LineageOS](https://lineageos.org) or [GrapheneOS](https://grapheneos.org) because of the bootloader unlocking process.
+
+The only workaround I found is using [AUD](https://github.com/Universal-Debloater-Alliance/universal-android-debloater-next-generation) with [F-Droid](https://f-droid.org).
