Welcome! - Update coming

Thanks for visiting! I'm working on redoing the site so there isn't much here right now. Stay tuned and I'll have more uploads going in the future.

A few things for now:

The site used to be focused on technology reviews (I got bored of that because it's not what I wanted to do and a thousand other people do this already). I want to switch gears and focus more on things I care about or find interesting. There is already a post on an old powerbook and classic gaming.

Going forward I want to get the following things setup:
- Scheduled postings, which means I'm going to need to dedicate time to planning out my articles weeks or months in advance and actually write them

- build a community! I want to have at least a small group of active people who want to engage with me and others. If I see traffic start, I want to rebuild the linuxelis forum again.

- Possibly move to another platform. Unsure how I'm going to do this yet but if I see the community growing I want to find another way to design the website that actually makes sense for what I want (blogger has some limitations).

- More to come as I think of it (I also need to create an archiving system because I lost all of my old posts from this site... yay)

Thanks for visiting and be sure to come back soon! Things are changing

This is not meant to be taken in any way other than some blogger posting an opinion piece. If you disagree with what I say, fine, let me know! Give me your perspective and explain why. I may agree with you, my mind can be changed.

Autism character traits in adults
What does autism look like in adults? Well, it’s hard to explain, sure I can list out some of the average traits you might see like:
- Difficulty interpreting what others are feeling
- Difficulty understanding facial expressions
- Emotional regulation issues
- Conversation skills are lacking/trouble keeping up a conversation (one sided conversations)
- Preference to repetitive behavior
- Deep knowledge of one particular topic
- lack of eye contact (due to the painful reaction they get when making eye contact, or just a general discomfort when doing this)

Linux Gaming! 2019

By
Back in the 1990's, there were a number of games that were released that actually had linux support. For example, Unreal, released in 1998 actually had a linux port. Doom had a port, Quake, and a few others. Then during the early 2000s to about 2010, linux gaming struggled. Sure you had WINE, but it wasn't perfect, or even good in some cases. 
Then steam became a thing and Valve decided linux was something worth supporting. 
Most of my computers, aside from a powerbook(see this post for why i have this), a 2010 MacBook and a newer MacBook pro, all of my other computers run linux. I decided not using the Spyware that is Windows 10 was not worth being able to play every single game out there. 
Then a co worker mentioned proton. Proton is Valve's solution to linux gaming. You can enable this setting in steam and play a large number of games on linux. So i tried it out. 
I booted up my Kubuntu machine (i like the native cube desktop support because it's pretty, no other r…
