  • My Top 3 Tiling Window Managers

    My Top 3 Tiling Window Managers

    It’s no secret that I’ve been exploring Arch, Fedora, and openSUSE for the past few years. While I did use Ubuntu back in the late-2000s, I only used Kubuntu briefly before really going all-in on Arch during the lockdown a few years ago. Still, the point is that I have experience with the aforementioned list… Read more

  • Friendship Restarted with openSUSE

    Friendship Restarted with openSUSE

    (OR How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Hyprland) It’s April 2nd at the time I type this (with my actual publishing date being a few days afterward). As I mentioned before, the day has finally come! I survived on openSUSE for 30 days using it as a workstation system. So now that I’ve… Read more

  • I’m Going to Use AI for EVERYTHING

    I’m Going to Use AI for EVERYTHING

    It’s another short post from yours truly. I’ve been writing a little less as of late, as my life and priorities have been tougher on me recently. However, I hatched an ingenious idea of what to do to increase the amount of content on this blog just a few days ago. It struck me while… Read more

  • Learning to Love Vim Shortcuts

    Learning to Love Vim Shortcuts

    I’m still largely thriving on my openSUSE 30-day challenge (with my conclusion coming soon). I even got another few apps installed because I was interested in trying them out for an upcoming project that promises to be exciting, and I promise to post about that should it materialize into something more tangible. Still, one of… Read more

  • My Progress with openSUSE So Far

    My Progress with openSUSE So Far

    I didn’t want to leave people hanging too long on this, so I decided to post an update with how I’ve been using openSUSE thus far. My one-month challenge is almost over, although I have been enjoying the distro for the most part this time around, and I have been taking notes over the passing… Read more

  • Go Over 100% Volume in GNOME with One Terminal Command

    Go Over 100% Volume in GNOME with One Terminal Command

    This may be my shortest post for my Linux-related quick tips, as I was searching around for this information online for my openSUSE 30-Day challenge. In short: I wanted to know how to go beyond 100% volume on my GNOME setup, but had forgotten what I did to achieve this on both my Arch and… Read more

  • I’m Running openSUSE for 30 Days on my Workstation

    I’m Running openSUSE for 30 Days on my Workstation

    It’s the month of March! That can only mean my favorite holiday is just around the corner. I’m a pretty big fan of St. Patrick’s Day and love being able to wear green, pound a few bottles of Guinness, and talk in an unconvincing Irish accent for an entire day. But lately, I’ve started to… Read more

  • Why I Don’t Distro Hop

    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

    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

    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
