Changed Linux distros!

Long story short, I broke my Debian Slax install by accidentally removing my USB from the boot list, something that I honestly should've seen coming. Slax is meant to be used on a system that already has an OS, and by deleting Windows, I set myself up for exactly this to happen.

Then, I tried to install Tinycore Linux, but it just wouldn't boot for some reason. I tried a lot of different ways to etch it to the USB, to no avail.

Finally, I settled on Debian, which is honestly what I should've gone with in the first place. Not only is it lighter than Slax, it has a lot better compatibility, it's made by the people rather than a corporation, and it has better support. I learned the hard way, being a contrarian when it comes to Linux is not a really good idea if you don't really know what you're doing and actually want your system to run. Well, now it works good. even better than my Slax ever did! Idles around 300mb!?!?!?!?!?

Now that I'm done dicking around and repeatedly making my computer non-functional on accident, I think I'll start setting up my art tools and posting art again. Or not. I really don't know what I'll do, but I'll figure it out.
