Start LibreOffice with a Different GTK Theme
I, like many other Linux users, like using LibreOffice. The free, open-source Microsoft Office alternative hardly needs an introduction, and I personally like to use LibreOffice Calc frequently, especially during the summer. Like many more Linux users, I also like using a dark theme on my system. I like having my file explorer (I’m using…

Get Goodies from Other Distros with the AUR and Github
It’s no secret that I love Arch Linux. Despite how I run Fedora on my ThinkPad for work, I have been using Arch regularly since 2020 on my desktop. I can’t see myself ever switching, although I would be lying if I said the occasional urge to distro hop didn’t come up sometimes. Ultimately, the…

Switching from spotify-tui to spotify-player.
I last wrote about spotify-tui a short while back. This was back when I wrote about how I made a Nord skin for it that doesn’t obscure the play time in the progress bar. As for the player itself, I didn’t really discuss it in much detail. Friendship Ended with spotify-tui… It should soon become…

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…

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,…
