Maybe you can help me figure out how to do my typesetting jobs on an old linux laptop my friend just gave me. I’m a complete newb at linux

i’m trying to gather and utilize whatever resources and privileges i have access to, and put them towards alternative infrastructure for living in the apocalypse. idk it just feels more tangible and useful to directly affect my immediate surroundings and support my close community

im mostly just kinda done with like performative allyship culture??? plus it’s increasingly unsafe to publically implicate involvement with certain causes or topics so heavily. yeah i would rather use my energy for hands-on praxis. literally get my hands dirty. like i’m studying biointensive farming
