I used to think the same as you, and I would still agree that out of the box, KDE is probably uglier than Gnome is. However, I've grown to be rather impressed with what you can do with KDE, and more importantly that KDE allows you to d

Me as well. I've on Linux for years, but there was a time where I was preferring GoG for their DRM-free policy. However, Valve went all in on Linux support while GoG refused to even make a Linux version of their launcher. I still occas

I've been an avid Vim/Neovim user for several years now, but I've never been able to really get into some of those pre-made configurations like LunarVim. I personally only like to add plugins for things I have identified as l

Off-topic, but I was surprised to see that this was a Mastodon server created specifically for the people of Graz, Austria, a city I lived in for a semester in college and have very fond memories of. I like the idea of providing self-hosted

The struggle is becoming easier over time. Windows 11 ads are getting more and more prevalent while I've personally had less and less issues playing Linux games, to the point where I haven't had to really even think about it latel

I like how this implies that after firmware release 2.7, they decided that 12 different power cycling patterns was too many, so they lowered it to 10. Wouldn't want some unsuspecting user to reset their bulbs by accidentally following

I've been using Foot for a while now, having switched to it from Alacritty. I like it. I don't really require much from my terminal other than for it to "feel" snappy and to have some cosmetic customization, and from my
