My Fedora Experiment Has Ended

September 3, 2025 Tony Burgess Leave a comment

I used Fedora KDE for a few days, and it seemed that it was a little buggy. There was an issue with integrating Google Mail, calendar, and drive with it seamlessly. Linux Mint, my long-time distribution, does all of that without a problem. I am using the Cinnamon desktop variation, and it’s well-equipped and feature rich.

I am glad to be back with something I feel comfortable with and has an old school feel about it. Experimenting with something new is always a good thing to do to flex your mind and muscles. Linux Mint is going to release distribution upgrade soon.

Our Resident Rooster

OK, we have a wild rooster who has taken up residence in our neighborhood. It’s a beautiful bird who we have given the name of “Rocky”. Every morning it lets the neighborhood know the sun is coming up and also has other things to say. I don’t mind it being among us. It’s breaks up the craziness of the world we find ourselves in. Rock on Rocky!

Trying A New Operating System, Fedora KDE Plasma

August 31, 2025 Tony Burgess Leave a comment

I have been tinkering again, and this time I have been experimenting with the Fedora Linux operating system.

Fedora Linux is a Linux distribution developed by the Fedora Project. It was originally developed in 2003 as a continuation of the Red Hat Linux project.

There are different flavors of Fedora and I have been testing the KDE Plasma variant and I like it very much. I am a long-time user and I have been able to customize it to my liking and my workflow as an enthusiast who knows enough to be dangerous. I am using it on my desktop and laptop, so I am all-in.

So far, it’s worked well for me. I look forward to using it more and adjusting to how different it is from the Debian/Ubuntu distributions I have been using since I switched to Linux from Windows many years ago. This looks like a promising start to doing something new in Nerd Corner.

Today has been a great day to chill out and do fun things. That includes making breakfast burritos, taco salad and doing computer stuff. It’s been a good day.

How are you feeling right now?

I turned 56 today and I am feeling OK. Not bad for turning another year older. Not sure if I am feeling smarter or wiser at the moment. Let’s see how things go. I am hopefully going to be feeling the best I can at any given time.
