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…

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…

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…

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,…

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…

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…

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. Still, I wanted to…

5 Fantastic Lightweight Distros to Run on Old Hardware
I recently dug up a ThinkPad T61 that was given to me a very long time ago by a friend who, at that time, was moving to another house across town. The laptop is rather usable overall, but it’s still starting to show signs of aging. It also made me stop and consider something. What…

Giving Brave Browser a Try for a Week
I’ve been a bit busy with a few things as of late, including personal matters as well as the next major submission for the blog. It’s coming and will be ready in due time. Until then, here’s a brief one. I was reminded of the existence of Brave Browser once again in the past few…
