I Won’t Let Internet Time Be Forgotten

Omnivore: A Read-It-Later App I Actually Want to Use
UPDATE: As much as I liked using Omnivore, this page didn’t age too well. As of November 2024, Omnivore is shutting down, which will prompt me to continue my search for an alternative.

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…

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.
