Cinnamon Desktop is Cozy Sometimes
Despite my history using Linux over the past few years, and despite how I have to use a Mac at work, I typically default to not only Arch Linux, but Hyprland with my setup. In short, I had a taste of tiling windows a few years ago starting with Awesome WM. After a few years…

Dumping Spotify and Paid Music Streaming For My Offline Music Collection
I hinted at the possibility a good while back, but I’ve been rethinking how I enjoy my music over the past few months, and that’s also despite how I said this a good while back now. Why go through all this trouble [with TIDAL, Spotify, and others] when you could just host the music yourself…

An Arch User Learns to Love Snaps
Or “How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love snapd!” I never thought I’d write about this now, but as a longtime Linux user, I got by using packages in my distro’s default repositories, the AUR, Flatpaks, and the occasional AppImage here or there. When anyone so much as mentioned using Canonical’s Snaps, I usually…

Make macOS Feel More Like Linux
I have a confession to make. While I love Linux and prefer to use it, I haven’t used my openSUSE workstation in the past few months. My reliable ThinkPad has been collecting dust at home. While I am still free to use my tried and true Arch Linux machine at home, my new job’s network…

Here’s another one of my quick Linux tips, this time largely dealing with what happens to a Nextcloud instance installed with Snap as it takes up too much mystery storage. How Did You Fix It? I still recommend reading up on this before jumping to the solution in case you had the same issue I…

(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…
