Linux for Mere Mortals, my introductory blog post about Linux, is finally out! I did my best to address common questions and concerns, and focus on the things that less technical people care about in their day to day computer usage.

I was originally hoping to get this out before the Windows 10 EOL, but it's pretty long, and writing my thesis is taking more time than expected. Feel free to reply with questions and recommendations!
@cyberseckyle I see this overall as a bad trend, increasing autofill on the software end & increasing lights, including backlighting on keyboards as a mess for the hardware end.
My neuropathy isn't that bad yet (& a few months a year I've still got full sensation) but it's bad enough that I need a clicky keyboard to help me to know when I've pressed a key, and backlit keyboards are painful to see.
We overall used to have a greater diversity of designs, which helped disabled pick what was best, without paying extra for true customization and that's a larger problem I'm seeing, which includes #FOSS having open source hardware that mimics #BigTech in having under basic 3 designs with 20+ options that have the tiniest of differences between them. #TechAccessibility #Diversity #DisabilityAccessibility

If the USA wanted me to buy their products, then they should sell them in Malaysian Ringgit (MYR). So far, it seems that only Chinese companies have done this for the Malaysian market. There are even many flagship phones priced at RM1000++ instead of iPhones priced at RM5000++. What Chinese companies offer us is better because of competitive specifications as well as competitive prices, and more control due to the Android OS, rather than iOS by default, which I don't trust Apple to handle my data. Chinese companies have addressed the issues of affordability and accessibility to technology for Malaysians, while the USA only sells products that we use to show off or appear superior to others. Is the USA trying to force us to buy their products? This seems like modern authoritarianism to me.
