So I have been playing with Arch in a VM on my MacBook. Not a lot of info out there on how to do it well, so I wrote up a tutorial on how to do it. blog.sdickinson.com/post/arch-ar...

blog.sdickinson.comInstalling Arch ARM in a VM - The Life of SamI recently decided to install Linux on my desktop PC due to the sunsetting of Windows 10. I explored various Linux distributions and desktop environments in a VM on my MacBook Pro. I settled on Arch Linux, despite its complexity, because of my tinkerer nature.\n\nI used UTM for virtualization, which supports both QEMU and Apple Virtualization. I chose Apple Virtualization for better GPU support, despite it being experimental. I followed a detailed process to install Arch Linux ARM, including partitioning, formatting, and setting up the system. I also installed a desktop environment and additional tools like Yay and Firefox. Now, I have a functional Arch Linux setup!

Finally relaunched my blog. Made with Svelte, and some advanced CSS. blog.sdickinson.com/post/new-blog

blog.sdickinson.comBlog - New BlogI've finally updated my blog to use SvelteKit, making it more flexible. I can now create simple markdown files for basic posts or add custom pages for more complex designs. The server automatically builds and deploys a static version to Cloudflare Workers upon GitHub check-ins.\n\nI've added some interactive features like star movement and parallax effects for desktop users. The color scheme is defined using CSS variables and the oklch color space. Icons animate on hover, and summaries are generated using Mistral. Images are automatically resized and cropped, and RSS feeds are available in various formats. The design features a translucent glass and space theme.
