My Top 3 Tiling Window Managers
It’s no secret that I’ve been exploring Arch, Fedora, and openSUSE for the past few years. While I did use Ubuntu back in the late-2000s, I only used Kubuntu briefly before really going all-in on Arch during the lockdown a few years ago. Still, the point is that I have experience with the aforementioned list…

Friendship Restarted with openSUSE
(OR How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Hyprland) It’s April 2nd at the time I type this (with my actual publishing date being a few days afterward). As I mentioned before, the day has finally come! I survived on openSUSE for 30 days using it as a workstation system. So now that I’ve…

Learning to Love Vim Shortcuts
I’m still largely thriving on my openSUSE 30-day challenge (with my conclusion coming soon). I even got another few apps installed because I was interested in trying them out for an upcoming project that promises to be exciting, and I promise to post about that should it materialize into something more tangible. Still, one of…

My Progress with openSUSE So Far
I didn’t want to leave people hanging too long on this, so I decided to post an update with how I’ve been using openSUSE thus far. My one-month challenge is almost over, although I have been enjoying the distro for the most part this time around, and I have been taking notes over the passing…

Go Over 100% Volume in GNOME with One Terminal Command
This may be my shortest post for my Linux-related quick tips, as I was searching around for this information online for my openSUSE 30-Day challenge. In short: I wanted to know how to go beyond 100% volume on my GNOME setup, but had forgotten what I did to achieve this on both my Arch and…

I’m Running openSUSE for 30 Days on my Workstation
It’s the month of March! That can only mean my favorite holiday is just around the corner. I’m a pretty big fan of St. Patrick’s Day and love being able to wear green, pound a few bottles of Guinness, and talk in an unconvincing Irish accent for an entire day. But lately, I’ve started to…

Why I Don’t Distro Hop
This is going to be a much shorter post than I normally do, but I was originally planning a longer, very different post from this. As regular readers of the site know, I’m a Linux user. At home on my desktop, I run Arch Linux. On the go with my personal workstation, a ThinkPad laptop,…

Turning GNOME Into a Tiling Window Manager
I’ve made it rather well-known that I’m a big fan of the Awesome window manager on Linux. I still use it regularly on my Arch system, but what about my Fedora workstation? While I do have Awesome installed on Fedora, I’ve found myself using it less and less. It has nothing to do with my…

Install MANY Fonts on Linux with a Few Terminal Commands
Here’s a relatively quick Linux tip. If you want to know right away how to do this in simple steps, feel free to skip down to the section titled “Just Give Me The Steps!” I did stumble across an issue with fonts when trying to sync my Obsidian second brain from Arch Linux at home…

Cool-Retro-Term Lives Up to Its Name
I don’t normally switch terminal emulators often. I stuck with Alacritty for the longest time and just months ago switched over to Kitty for the first time, sure, and I’ve been extremely happy with it, but I know my list of options for terminal emulators on Linux is far and wide like an ocean of…
