Why Arco Linux Mattered to Me, a Vanilla Arch User
Readers who’ve been here for a while know I have been daily driving Arch Linux on my primary desktop for five years now, despite what I said about deleting it in a recent post. While I did dabble in Manjaro a few times in the years before then, I went all-in on vanilla Arch. Of… Read more

Switching to Windows Content (And Other Major Changes)
I was hanging out after work the other day with my three best friends: Mike, Twister, and Guinn. We were sharing an entirely modest amount of drinks at our local pub that afternoon. It was only after we sipped some of our lemonade that Mike brought up the idea of himself starting a blog. Twister,… Read more

How I Turned The 12 Week Year Into a Game
Welcome back! It’s the long overdue return of the Sudo Science Book Club! In this series of posts, I take a deep dive into books that resonated with me and simultaneously break down what I’ve learned and implemented from them.

An Arch User Learns to Love Snaps
Or “How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love snapd!” I never thought I’d write about this now, but as a longtime Linux user, I got by using packages in my distro’s default repositories, the AUR, Flatpaks, and the occasional AppImage here or there.

Combine Your Second Brain with Zettelkasten
I’m already approaching an entire year of using my current second brain for my personal knowledge management. In case anybody doesn’t remember, I stopped using my old one because it became so bloated with information that didn’t quite matter to me. Instead of scrapping the idea altogether, I decided I just wanted a fresh start… Read more

Launcher 10 Relieves my Windows Phone Nostalgia
NOTE: As usual, this is not paid or endorsed in any way. Rather, this is an honest review of an Android launcher after I used it for a while. Because nobody has paid me to express myself, I get to be as honest and critical as I like. I didn’t update on this during my… Read more

My NaNoWriMo 2024 Results
That’s another NaNoWriMo in the books. As I stated one month ago, I wanted to try NaNo for another consecutive year in a row. I tried using my 5 AM Club time for it once again, dedicating my 20 minutes of growth time each morning to writing in the novel. While I did attempt to… Read more

Make macOS Feel More Like Linux (UPDATED)
NOTE: I made a few updates now recommending both yabai and Sketchybar in addition to the other tools already listed in the post. I have a confession to make. While I love Linux and prefer to use it, I haven’t used my openSUSE workstation in the past few months. My reliable ThinkPad has been collecting… Read more

Another Serious Attempt at NaNoWriMo!
Costumes are coming off, seasonal candy is on clearance, and el Dia de los Muertos is underway. That can only mean one thing: November is here once again, and that means National Novel Writing Month is back. Longtime readers may be getting deja vu looking at this title. However, it’s no mistake. I will once… Read more
