Anytime someone wants to give me a piece of hardware, it's hard for me to say, "no." I received this Acer AspireOne D255 as payment for installing openSUSE Leap on an HP Laptop. This little netbook was a bit slower than my other Acer AspireOne and with only 1 GiB of RAM and a dead … Continue reading Acer AspireOne D255 with openSUSE Tumbleweed Xfce

Kim | KDE Plasma Graphics Service Menu
There comes a time when I realize I want to be lazy about something and one of those things is converting images. Sure, I could be a super nerd and do a batch conversion of images in the terminal but today was not that day.

Noodlings 2 | Desktops and Window Managers, BDLL and openSUSE News
Another podcast and after listening to the final thing... I sound a bit like cardboard. Maybe episode 3 won't smell like wet newspaper. Listen here, it's only 10 minutes and 30 seconds of cringe-worthy material.

VirtScreen on openSUSE | Turn a Tablet into a Second Monitor
When I take my laptop and I go into a mobile mode, I'm often missing a second or third screen. Frequently, my need isn't having full motion video or anything of that sort, it's just the ability to have text displayed in some form, be it PDF or web page, beside my main screen.
