feat!: Merge tutorials into blog
A good amount of tutorial pages are more akin to blog posts than tutorials. And even for the ones that are very much a "quick how-to", I feel many blogs would include them as blog posts.

-# Install Plan 9 with virt-manager

-2. [url #installing-plan-9-itself Installing Plan 9 itself]
-
-Installing [url https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plan_9_from_Bell_Labs Plan 9 by Bell Labs] with `[qemu]` itself isn't difficult and there are [url https://9p.io/wiki/plan9/Installing_Plan_9_on_Qemu/ official instructions]. However, when using `[virt-manager]`, there are certain uncertainties that might worry a first-timer and certain issues that arise.
-
-## Creating the virtual machine
-
-We'll be installing Plan 9 with a CD (ISO) image. You can download the latest version (compiled every night) from [url https://9p.io/plan9/download.html here]. For a compressed version and checksums, refer to [url https://9p.io/wiki/plan9/Download/index.html this page].
-
-:ordered
-1. Press the *["Create a new virtual machine"]* and select *["Local install media (ISO image or CDROM)"]*
-
-2. For the install media select the extracted `[.iso]` CD image of Plan 9 and for operating system chose *["Generic or unknown OS (generic)"]*
-
-3. For memory select 512 MiB (the default 1024 MiB is also fine) and 1 CPU
-
- .unordered
- - Plan 9 is stupid lightweight and according to [url https://9p.io/wiki/plan9/Installation_instructions/index.html the installation instructions] you need 16-32 MB of memory, but I still prefer to give it a little more, just in case I decide to do something extreme.
- - You can also increase these values as much as you like, Plan 9 should be able to handle the more resources
-
-4. If you plan to only test the OS out, choose *["Create a disk image for the virtual machine"]* and enter 2 GiB of size. If you plan more serious use, you might want to follow [url https://9p.io/wiki/plan9/Installing_Plan_9_on_Qemu/ the qemu instructions] and create a larger disk in the `[.raw]` format.
-
-5. Finally click finish.
-
-
-## Installing Plan 9 itself
-
-If everything worked correctly, on boot you should see the screen in step 1.
-From here on out, it's dead simple, and I even recommend just going through [url https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNWFTq0ZwLE Hatty Hacker's "Basic Plan 9 Installation" YouTube video].
-I'll show a more abridged version of what you need to do.
-
-:ordered
-1. On the boot screen press 1 and enter
-
- [image ./img/boot-screen.png]
-
-2. On the questions "use DMA for ide drive" and "mouseport is" press enter
-
-3. On "vgasize" press enter, or set up a higher (standard) resolution with 24 colors. Examples: `[1920x1080x24]`, `[1280x720x24]`
-
- .unordered
- - A very incomplete list can be found [url https://9p.io/wiki/plan9/setting_the_right_monitor_size/index.html here]
-
-4. =[Very important!]= On "monitor" enter `[vesa]`. `[xga]` (or `[vga]`) will work during installation but seem to break when booting the installed OS.
-
- .unordered
- - If you mistakenly leave it at `[xga]`, refer to [url /tutorials/fix-no-frame-buffer-plan9 this tutorial].
-
-
-From here on out, you press enter at most of the prompts. The following list enumerates all cases where you need to do something else than press enter.
-
-:ordered
-1. On "Disk partiton" question, enter `[sdC0]` (the option that says Hard Disk on it)
-
- [image ./img/partdisk-partition.png]
-
-2. On "Install mbr" question, enter `[y]`
-
- [image ./img/partdisk-mbr.png]
-
-3. When you get ">>>" before the cursor, press w, then enter, then q and finally enter. This should happen twice, when in `[disk/fdisk]` and `[disk/prep]`
-
- [image ./img/partdisk-fdisk.png]
-
- [image ./img/prepdisk-prep.png]
-
-4. On "Distribution disk" type out the one that ends with `[data]` (and potentially has `[cdrom]` besides it). This is most commonly `[/dev/sdC1/data]`
-
- [image ./img/mountdist-distribution-disk.png]
-
-5. When you get "/%" before cursor (during mountdisk task) just enter `[exit]`
-
- [image ./img/mountdist-browse.png]
-
-6. On "Enable boot method" enter `[plan9]`
-
- [image ./img/bootsetup-boot-method.png]
-
-
-After finishing the installation and seeing the message "Feel free to shutdown your computer", Force Off the virtual machine and then power it on again.
-
-On boot, on the first prompt press enter, and on the second enter `[glenda]`. Enjoy Plan 9!
