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, Read more

Ways to Maximize a Pocket Notebook
I’ve carried a pocket notebook everywhere since 2014. Over the past decade since, I’ve learned all sorts of little tricks, tried some hacks here and there, and kept what worked and dropped what didn’t. Eventually, I got to where I am now where I carry a pocket notebook everywhere despite having a main bullet journal Read more

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 Read more

Still, when I Read more

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 Read more

My NaNoWriMo 2023 Results
Mission accomplished. I wrote a while back about how excited I was about NaNoWriMo this November, especially with how I’ve been doing with my very own morning routine through the 5 AM Club. Since I’m a member, I decided to dedicate my growth time (5:40 to 6 AM) all month to writing my novel. “Even Read more

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.
