• Windows is Worsening: Why I’ll Never Go Back

  

  Longtime readers of the blog know I’ve been daily driving Linux since 2020. Said readers may also know I briefly used Linux back in the late 2000s and early 2010s back when I was a young Mr. Hyde, but there are some key differences between both of those stints on Linux (as well as how…

• 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…

• 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…

• Why I Don’t Distro Hop

  

  This is going to be a much shorter post than I normally do, but I was originally planning a longer, very different post from this. As regular readers of the site know, I’m a Linux user. At home on my desktop, I run Arch Linux. On the go with my personal workstation, a ThinkPad laptop,…

  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…
