I’m reporting on my first experiments with Garuda Linux (Arch-based), the latest release, “Temeraire” (260819), in the Mokka edition.

In this post, I show how I installed CachyOS Linux (Arch-based) on a Geekcom IT13 Mini PC.

After installing macOS Tahoe, two additions immediately stood out to me: proper battery charge limits and a much more useful Spotlight.

I use chezmoi to manage my dotfiles, including a few small scripts that install development tools in my home directory.

I report my first experiences with LM Studio in (Arch) Linux.

In the past, I had several problems using archinstall for installing Arch Linux in a dual boot with another existing Linux installation.

I use Fedora Silverblue with GNOME, and I have LibreOffice installed as a Flatpak.

If you use chezmoi_modify_manager together with chezmoi, there is one annoying bootstrap problem: chezmoi_modify_manager is needed while chezmoi apply computes file contents but the usual .chezmoiscripts/run_before_* hooks run too late to install it for t…

My SWTBot UI tests recently started failing on GitHub Actions macOS runners.

Sometimes a command installed with Homebrew needs to be executed as root.

When I bootstrap a new machine with chezmoi, I usually start by cloning my dotfiles repo from GitHub over HTTPS: [crayon-6aa401686efa4215508285/] That works well for the very first setup, because my SSH keys are not installed yet.

I’m continuing my evaluation of the Fedora Silverblue Linux distribution, which I started some time ago.

When setting up Sway as your Wayland compositor, you might want to organize your Waybar configuration in a non-standard location — for example, keeping a dedicated ~/.config/waybar/sway/ directory to separate your Sway-specific bar configuration from othe…

I’m going to test the Fedora 43 Linux distribution in its “immutable” “atomic” shape, Silverblue.

This is a follow-up to the first post on Neovim and LaTeX and the second one.

If you use a Wayland compositor like Sway or Hyprland, mako is a great lightweight notification daemon.

If you use KDE and Sway (or Hyprland) on the same machine with the same user (something I’m experimenting with), when you launch Chrome and log in with your user in KDE, and then switch to Sway, you’ll see that your account is marked as “Paused”: you have…

I’ll show how I installed Linux (EndeavourOS, i.e., Arch) on a Dell Pro Max Tower T2.

A small blog post on how to install EndeavourOS with LUKS disk encryption.

This is a follow-up to the first post on Neovim and LaTeX.
