I Replaced YNAB with a Free Terminal App
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,…

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…

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…

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 (UPDATED)
NOTE: I made a few updates now recommending both yabai and Sketchybar in addition to the other tools already listed in the post. 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…

Why is My Nextcloud Snap Using More Storage?
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…

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,…
