  • I put Bazzite on an Intel n100 box I’m using as an HTPC. Super easy install and it was ready to go and working just fine very quickly. Jellyfin works really well! It really is quite incredible how far things have come since my first install of Ubuntu 14.04. Atomic could really make some headway on making Linux easy for a typical user. Wine has come a LOOOONG way help keep compatibility too.

    Way better than my Ubuntu desktop. The only thing hold me back on putting an atomic distro on my desktop is not familiar with how things like Python venvs would work for development. That and I use a global hotkey program for Team speak since they haven’t updated to handle Wayland global keys.








  • I keep a set of notes for each day. I have 2 journals. One for work and one for the rest of life. I use the same system in both. I took the Bullet Journal system of notation and added a few more to handle some edge cases that I encounter occasionally. The system works with any size of journal or pad of paper. I often drop sketches and diagrams in the middle of meeting notes. Actions get carried from day to day. Walk up requests get written down. I know when something was handed off to someone else. I like it! Totally not for everyone though. I skip the monthly and future planning parts. I would probably use that part if I was doing schedule management. Rapid logging is the part that I use all the freaking time.

    Notes for small code projects/my network set up get tossed into .txt files. Eh. It gets the job done and there is only one place that file can be and it is the most up to date. Assuming I updated after the last changes. Which is a coin toss when things are busy. Comments in the code are a far more common way for me to keep track of what is happening.










  • I’ve got some that pulls the picture from Bing and the picture from NASA and set them to my wall paper and lock screen back grounds.

    I’ve got another one that silences my phone when I’m at work or church and not connected to my car blue tooth. I used something similar in college to silence my phone when a calendar event was happening. My phone never made a peep during a lecture! It resets volumes to normal levels after the silent period is done.
