Let me give you an example. This is how you would do it:

The history of the Linux kernel is a tale of innovation, collaboration, and the power of open-source development. It begins in 1991 when Linus Torvalds, a 21-year-old computer science student at the University of Helsinki, started a project that would revolutionize the computing world. Frustrated with the limitations of MINIX, a small UNIX-like system, Torvalds decided to create his own operating system kernel. He announced his project in a now-famous post on the comp.os.minix newsgroup, seeking feedback and contributions from other programmers.
Torvalds released the first version of the Linux kernel, version 0.01, in September 1991. It was a simple, monolithic kernel written in C, designed to be compatible with the Intel 80386 microprocessor. The early versions of the Linux kernel were basic, with limited functionality and hardware support, but they laid the groundwork for what would become a robust and flexible operating system. The Linux kernel quickly gained traction among hobbyists and developers, who began contributing code, improving its features, and expanding its hardware compatibility.
The development of the Linux kernel was fueled by the principles of open-source software. Under the GNU General Public License (GPL), the kernel's source code was freely available for anyone to use, modify, and distribute. This openness attracted a global community of developers, who collaborated through mailing lists, forums, and version control systems. Key contributions came from various individuals and organizations, including Richard Stallman and the Free Software Foundation, which provided essential tools and libraries through the GNU Project.
Throughout the 1990s and 2000s, the Linux kernel matured rapidly. Major companies like IBM, Intel, and Red Hat began to see the potential of Linux, contributing resources and code to the project. This corporate involvement helped accelerate the development of the kernel, leading to significant improvements in performance, scalability, and security. Linux became the kernel of choice for many different operating systems, known as distributions, each tailored for specific use cases, from desktop computing to embedded systems and supercomputers.
The Linux kernel's adaptability and continuous evolution have made it the backbone of modern computing. It powers the vast majority of web servers, cloud infrastructure, mobile devices (through Android), and even embedded systems in cars and appliances. Linus Torvalds continues to oversee the development of the kernel, guiding its progress with the help of a decentralized network of maintainers and contributors. The Linux kernel's success is a testament to the strength of collaborative, open-source development, proving that a community-driven approach can produce software that rivals and often surpasses proprietary alternatives.
In summary, the history of the Linux kernel is a remarkable journey from a modest personal project to a global phenomenon. It exemplifies how collective effort, shared knowledge, and a commitment to openness can create a transformative technology, changing the landscape of computing and empowering users and developers worldwide.

That's just garbage and a mess to read, this how it's easier to read.

It's easier to read that way, I never liked English class but I remember that is how they teach you to write in English class, even my own language so I can't imagine it would be any different for other languages. I'm sure there are more here on the forum who would agree with me on this.
I'll restrain myself from telling you my opinion about those who can't read without spacing between paragraphs, so instead I'll ask you this: does that mean you've never read a book in your whole life because there's no spacing between paragraphs in any of them?

How a person can concentrate and focus during reading changes over time and so does a person eye's sight so that changes over the years and it doesn't stay the same. Are you still the exact same person you were 20 years ago, meaning you haven't changed in 20 years? I haven't read a book in over 20 years and all the training stuff I have read in the last years is nicely formatted, which doesn't distract me or or make me lose concentration as in how big the chunks of texts are. Also why else would they teach grammar and best practices for writing in school? For fun or just so they can waste your time?

There's one big difference in your example. In books, the first line of a new paragraph is indented. Your example text is not. (FTR, I've read lots of books.)

I didn't even remember that, that's how long it's been since I've read an actual book. But People change over time to as in what they like and don't like and when it comes to what keeps their concentration and what makes make people lose concentration etc.
