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…

Using AI To Revive Your Old Wallpapers
I’ve been rather busy as of late with NaNoWriMo, and I’m happy to report I’ve been writing daily consistently. I’ve left my other growth-related goals on hold since October, but I feel it’s well worth the trouble, as I’ve made quite a bit of progress on the novel I’ve been drafting. Still, I wanted to…

5 Fantastic Lightweight Distros to Run on Old Hardware
I recently dug up a ThinkPad T61 that was given to me a very long time ago by a friend who, at that time, was moving to another house across town. The laptop is rather usable overall, but it’s still starting to show signs of aging. It also made me stop and consider something. What…

Start LibreOffice with a Different GTK Theme
I, like many other Linux users, like using LibreOffice. The free, open-source Microsoft Office alternative hardly needs an introduction, and I personally like to use LibreOffice Calc frequently, especially during the summer. Like many more Linux users, I also like using a dark theme on my system. I like having my file explorer (I’m using…

How to Have “vim” Open Neovim or LunarVim
Here’s a quick post from me today. I recently switched to Neovim through the installation of LunarVim. I really like the feel of it a whole lot, and as an Awesome WM user, I can appreciate how the config is written in Lua. Besides that, I know that the usual command to enter Neovim is…

Setting Up Fluent Reader with Nextcloud News
I don’t use social media. If you looked on my phone, you would be hard-pressed to find anything like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, or Reddit. I get that so many people rely on social media to keep up with what’s new these days, but I prefer to curate RSS feeds and read what I want…

Get Goodies from Other Distros with the AUR and Github
It’s no secret that I love Arch Linux. Despite how I run Fedora on my ThinkPad for work, I have been using Arch regularly since 2020 on my desktop. I can’t see myself ever switching, although I would be lying if I said the occasional urge to distro hop didn’t come up sometimes. Ultimately, the…
