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…

Dank Material Shell Makes Hyprland Feel Complete
I’ll be frank about something. In general, I’ve had less ideas lately about what to write regarding Linux use in general. I mean, sure, I could always discuss how Microsoft misread the room (understatement of the year, and it’s only January) and started driving Linux Mint adoption, but I’m surely not the first person to…

Working Image Previews in Krusader on a non-KDE Desktop
(NOTE: Skip this top section and scroll down to “Just Give Me The Solution” if you just want the answer to fix this right away.) I have another quick Linux tip here, and this one is about Krusader, the Qt5-based, double-pane file manager for Linux. If you just recently installed Krusader for the first time,…

Play Podcasts in the Terminal with Castero
I had an itch recently to listen to some podcasts again, something I haven’t done as often as I used to several years ago. While I am aware that Spotify has some pretty nice podcast support, that’s mostly for the GUI app. Trying to listen to podcasts on spotify-player doesn’t really make sense for me…

When Deleting the Swap Partition Leads to Slow Boot Times
I Just Want to Fix This Problem! This is part of my “Quick Tips” for Linux; you’ll want to skip this starting section and go straight down to “Just Give Me The Steps!” if you’re in the same boat I was. Otherwise, if you want to see if your situation regarding swap partitions is similar…

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…

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…

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…
