How to Use i3 with XFCE on Fedora
The other day, I saw a video from The Linux Cast on YouTube about how to set up i3 with XFCE. I was intrigued with the result at the end, as I had set up MATE with i3 last year on my Fedora system. However, I gave up on using it due to some overall…

More Nord! Extra Ways to Use The Theme
It’s no surprise that I love the Nord color scheme. Although I had known about it for years, my appreciation for it has only grown exponentially. I guess you could say I’m a Nord-aholic. When I think I might want to go back to Dracula or Gruvbox, Nord finds a way to keep me content…

Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron 15 Years Later: A Retrospective
I saw some of the recent news about Ubuntu 23.04’s release, Lunar Lobster, looking a little more favorable, or at least that was the impression I got from this video by DistroTube. Honestly, I haven’t really touched Ubuntu in the longest time and all, but this release, at least according to DT’s impressions, looks more…

Nord Dark Theme for spotify-tui
Featured Image: spotify-tui running Nord Dark theme in Alacritty with transparency enabled. I was listening to music on Spotify the other day, except I was using the spotify-tui client on Fedora. However, something minor bothered me about my setup on said app: The elapsed time in the center of the progress bar would become unreadable…

Always Upgrade Fedora to the Latest and Greatest via CLI
I’ve been using Fedora since version 33 was out, although 34 came shortly after I started to use it. It’s understandable since my ThinkPad Carbon X1 Gen 8 originally came with Fedora 33 out of the box. (Yes, Lenovo lets you order some systems with Linux installed on them from the factory.) But aside from…

Pretty, Powerful, Productive: My Obsidian Power User Setup
Personal Knowledge Management (or PKM) is such a useful and vital skill in today’s modern world, and I’m certainly not the first person to centralize the things I do want to track in one convenient, easy-to-navigate place. Of course, I don’t happen to focus everything into the second brain I’ve created (that’s why I also…

Betterbird and Mailspring: A Comparison of Email Clients for Linux
UPDATED on July 22nd, 2024. Scroll down to read more information on how I eventually switched full-time to Betterbird. I talked a short while back about how I recently adopted Betterbird as my email client after having used Thunderbird on my old Arch Linux system. To put a long story short, I decided to search…

Switching from Thunderbird to Betterbird
I’m still largely getting small things back together from my previous installation of Arch Linux. That includes how I had Thunderbird set up with all of my email accounts. However, I decided on a whim, instead of merely typing in sudo pacman -S thunderbird and calling it a day, I decided to search for anything…

How to Theme Qt Applications in a WM on Arch Linux
As I detailed in my recent reinstallation of Arch Linux, I had quite a bit to set up all over again for the first time. That also included my keeping Qt5 applications consistent with my GTK equivalents. While I do prefer some GTK-based apps, I happen to enjoy a good handful of Qt apps too.…

Friendship Ended With openSUSE
I detailed as much a few days ago, and it’s part of why I haven’t written quite as much as I was hoping I would this past few days, but I spent a massive amount of time troubleshooting my PC where I accidentally my Arch installation (not a typo). Reinstalling Arch was no big deal,…
