A Mid-2000s Linux Distro Made Me Wonder What Could Have Been
I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again, and I’ll gladly say it until I’m in the grave: Windows XP is still my favorite Windows of all time, period. It’s not even close. But upon thinking about it again, I started to realize something about that period of my life, which I will touch back…

Scrivenix is the Easiest Way to Run Scrivener on Linux
November is only a month away. While I know that NaNoWriMo has largely started to wane over the past few years, I still practice it every year on my own with whatever novel draft I’m working on, just seeing how far along I’ll get or how my story is going to shape up. But since…

I Switched from Arch to Gentoo
I’ve been away for a while now, but some of that time was spent compiling… My longtime readers know I’m normally an Arch user. I’ve used Arch Linux as a daily driver since 2020, when I first started running it from a VM during lockdown on my then-main Kubuntu system. While I did love running…

Fabric.so Is Amazing, But It’s Not For Me
Full disclosure here: This is one of the hardest posts I’ve ever had to write for my site, period. 11 months ago, I decided to try Fabric.so sometime after someone from their site reached out to me and asked if I was interested in it. I was then compensated with a free one-year pro subscription…

So I’m Technically Running CachyOS
Now here’s a short one if I ever saw it. I know I’ve been a little on the busy side again as of late, though it has largely come down to a few things in both my personal and work life. I’ve become preoccupied with life and projects here and there, including getting much more…

I Tried 3 YNAB Alternatives. Here’s the Free One I Switched To.
You may not know it about me, but I was a longtime YNAB user. I really liked how good the app was at letting me track spending, finances, and how much was being spent in one category or another. In fact, using YNAB several years ago is the reason I no longer have an auto…

You Can Bullet Journal from the Terminal
I’ve used a bullet journal for several years now. I mean, it’s the very first thing I wrote about on this site. Additionally, I’ve been running Linux as a daily driver even longer than that, running only a few distros like Arch and openSUSE without distro hopping. As a result of running Linux so often,…

Orion’s Early Beta Has Launched on Linux via Flatpak
I’ll admit that I tried the original Orion Browser a very long time ago when I read about it somewhere (I forget where exactly) on macOS back when it was still called OS X. In short, Orion Browser is supposed to be a WebKit-based browser from Kagi, a search engine, that has a lot of…

chadwm: A Simple, Easy Way to Get Started with dwm
I already wrote about it recently and in passing, but my openSUSE laptop became a new project for me to tinker over the past week. I loved getting Hyprland to run on the system just as it would run on my Arch desktop. Everything was looking great. But unfortunately, Hyprland only looked great on this…

I’m Done with Vim/Nvim Distros
This won’t be too long of a post, but it does somewhat connect with my most recent post about Dank Material Shell. After installing it, I enjoyed the rest of my setup as normal. This felt like the end-all addition to my Hyprland setup. However, I had a different, long-dormant issue that reared its ugly…
