Dear you,
Two years ago, I've done some market research to know if somebody would be interested by a book explaining how to build a Linux-based Mouseless Development Environment for software developers. Using the keyboard as much as possible save a lot of cognitive energy, in my experience.
The positive responses pushed me to began to write my first book.
Fast-forward February 2021, I released the digital version. It took me a lot of effort and time to write it, to test it, to fix the typos and inconsistencies after many proofreading.
It wasn't a New York Time Best Seller, but it had much more success than I thought it would. Even weirder: everybody seemed to like it! To this day, nobody of the 540+ readers asked for a refund. I think that's my biggest accomplishment.
I tried to make it even better throughout 2021, by listening to the readers' feedback. As a result, I've released 3 different updates I gave to everybody who bought the book.
Some readers also asked me if I would ever release a printed version. I liked the idea and, with this new goal in mind, I worked hard the last 4 months to make it a reality.
Today, I'm again super proud to announce that Building Your Mouseless Development Environment is available in print! You can find it in many e-commerces and other distributors. The complete list is there: https://www.ingramspark.com/how-....
I think it's also time to release this book on Product Hunt, to see if somebody would be interested.

Very nice book. I followed it and installed Arch Linux and a lot of tools. Currently it's my second OS and it covers all my needs — I can't even use Gnome after diving into i3. And yeah, Arch is very fast.
Thanks to Matt — great book!
