Matrix is a secure, decentralised, real-time, communication protocol that allows you to send messages and pictures free from the encumberments of a centralized authority. You can look at Matrix as an alternative to using Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord, etc. Confusingly, Matrix is a protocol not a client. There are many clients you can choose, the most … Continue reading Nheko | Matrix Client written in Qt on openSUSE
I was doing some preparation for my weekly tutoring activity and when I realized I misspelled "science" on a particular file that I end up sharing with parents. Somehow, I spelled "scoence" and almost published the file spelled as such. I realized that somewhere along the line, Dolphin, the most amazing file manager wasn't doing … Continue reading Spell Check in KDE Plasma | Specifically Dolphin File Manager
I don't ever like to talk negatively about a project as I never want to demotivate anyone with their labor of love. I also don't want to ignore when something isn't ready and Wayland isn't ready, for me. I very much want it to be for the obvious performance increases in certain areas but there … Continue reading Wayland is So Close | Back on X11

Mothballed my D630 when I … Continue reading Dell Latitude D630 System Check and Tumbleweed Update
I became aware of the Wayland Display Server project in 2012 when I was playing with using DisplayLink on openSUSE. I was told that when Wayland is released, it would fix my woes. Nine years later, it was time to give Wayland an honest go with openSUSE again. The impetus behind it was curiosity since … Continue reading Wayland Display Server on openSUSE Tumbleweed in 2021
Periodically, I like to gush over my operating system and desktop. Since I move back and forth between systems running both of my distributions of choice, Leap and Tumbleweed, I can see how Plasma is advancing as well as see what a static view of it is like over the course of a year or … Continue reading KDE Plasma 5.21 on openSUSE Tumbleweed | Better Then Ever
Keeping inline with my general theme of being late to the party, I have finally given Fedora 33 a spin. I have previously reviewed Fedora 31 and really enjoyed it very much. In fact, every time I have used Fedora, it has indeed been a great experience. I am again trying out Plasma because I … Continue reading Fedora 33 | Review from an openSUSE User
The 23rd personal pan pizza sized podcast I am doing my best to not fade out, but for more of my thought and opinions, subscribe to DLN Xtend, a podcast with the Destination Linux Network where I have a chat about Linuxy things with my co-hosts Matt and Wendy. Gaming Rack Design and Construction I have … Continue reading Noodlings 23 | Not Fading Yet
