Getting polkit-gnome to Work in Awesome WM
This is part of my quick tips for Linux. If you want the answer right away, feel free to scroll straight down to the section titled “Give Me The Quick Solution.” I won’t judge. I’ve been using Awesome WM for almost two years now. Despite my attempt to jump to a mix of XFCE and…

There’s No Reason to Run Manjaro
I realize this post may come off as rather negative, but I do want to make it clear that I don’t harbor some sort of hate for Manjaro. That said, I also didn’t write this post just for the sake of mindlessly bashing a specific Linux distro. If Manjaro had none of the issues I…

How to Use i3 with XFCE on Fedora
The other day, I saw a video from The Linux Cast on YouTube about how to set up i3 with XFCE. I was intrigued with the result at the end, as I had set up MATE with i3 last year on my Fedora system. However, I gave up on using it due to some overall…

More Nord! Extra Ways to Use The Theme
It’s no surprise that I love the Nord color scheme. Although I had known about it for years, my appreciation for it has only grown exponentially. I guess you could say I’m a Nord-aholic. When I think I might want to go back to Dracula or Gruvbox, Nord finds a way to keep me content…

Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron 15 Years Later: A Retrospective
I saw some of the recent news about Ubuntu 23.04’s release, Lunar Lobster, looking a little more favorable, or at least that was the impression I got from this video by DistroTube. Honestly, I haven’t really touched Ubuntu in the longest time and all, but this release, at least according to DT’s impressions, looks more…

Always Upgrade Fedora to the Latest and Greatest via CLI
I’ve been using Fedora since version 33 was out, although 34 came shortly after I started to use it. It’s understandable since my ThinkPad Carbon X1 Gen 8 originally came with Fedora 33 out of the box. (Yes, Lenovo lets you order some systems with Linux installed on them from the factory.)

How to Theme Qt Applications in a WM on Arch Linux
As I detailed in my recent reinstallation of Arch Linux, I had quite a bit to set up all over again for the first time. That also included my keeping Qt5 applications consistent with my GTK equivalents. While I do prefer some GTK-based apps, I happen to enjoy a good handful of Qt apps too.…

Friendship Ended With openSUSE
I detailed as much a few days ago, and it’s part of why I haven’t written quite as much as I was hoping I would this past few days, but I spent a massive amount of time troubleshooting my PC where I accidentally my Arch installation (not a typo). Reinstalling Arch was no big deal,…

How I Accidentally My Arch Installation
Good Night, Sweet Prince I installed Arch back in the spring of 2020 for the first (serious) time on a VM within Kubuntu. After falling in love with how lightweight and fast it was, I decided to wipe Kubuntu and reinstall Arch from scratch there instead. I ran the very same install for the longest…
