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.

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,…

How I Accidentally My Arch Installation
Good Night, Sweet Prince I installed Arch back in the spring of 2020 for the first (serious) time on a VM within Kubuntu. After falling in love with how lightweight and fast it was, I decided to wipe Kubuntu and reinstall Arch from scratch there instead. I ran the very same install for the longest…

My Top 3 Linux Color Schemes
As a Linux user for the past three years (soon to be four), one of my absolute favorite aspects of using the OS is how much I can “rice” my system. I can tweak and customize everything to my liking down to shades and colors of applications. I can make my computing experience feel fresh…

How to Set Up OnlyOffice Docs Self-Hosting
I love using my personal instance of Nextcloud to host and move files around between machines. It comes in handy for letting me sync my documents, photos, wallpapers, and much more. However, at some point several months ago, I really wanted to get the OnlyOffice integration working correctly with Nextcloud. There was a hacky solution…
