I'm a developer who spends a questionable amount of time running Linux, breaking things, and experimenting with tech – and I write it all down in plain language, so it helps someone else next time.
Whether you're picking your first PC, trying to stay safe online, or curious how AI and the internet actually work – the goal here is the same: technology that makes sense. Expect practical guides first, jargon last, and honest notes about what didn't work too.
