Hello world!
Johan Xie
This is my first blog post!
Recently, I received a new Thinkpad neo 14 (Intel version) from my supervisor. Suffering from setting up a development environment on Windows, I installed Arch Linux and noted down my setup steps in Markdown.
Taking notes wasn't a big thing, but I had no idea how to share my notes. At first, I was about to build a beautiful PDF document with LaTeX but soon realized that it wouldn't be light work to manually convert a Markdown file of several hundreds of lines to a LaTeX file. Then, I tried to post my notes on social media. However, I didn't find any platform on which I would be willing to write something.
Finally, I started this simple website to post my notes and thoughts. I chose Deno Blog as I've wanted to try Deno stuff since I knew the Deno project. I also found that, compared to Node stuff, Deno Blog is easy to set up and deploy.
That is why I started to write blog posts and deployed such a website, and so my next blog post will be about my steps to install Arch Linux on a laptop.
