Trying A New Operating System, Fedora KDE Plasma

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.

My Fedora Linux KDE Plasma Desktop

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.

Daily Prompt – Word Of The Day: Scroll

Scroll

The word of the day is scroll. A scroll can refer to a roll of paper, parchment, or other material, especially one with writing on it. We don’t see many scrolls these days.

However, it’s most referred to the action of advancing content up or down on a screen. It seems like we all do a lot of scrolling on our devices screens. Sometimes it’s to find something important. Other times it’s just to pass the time. That is when we seem to have a problem.

Keeping up with what is going on can be an obsession. Here we are just scrolling our lives away because we have a fear of missing out. To that, I say don’t let your scrolling get in the way of living a good life.

What My Computer Monitor Setup Says About Me

Leave a comment

A friend posted this on Facebook. Like most things, what your monitor setup says about you. For me, I’m neutral good at work and chaotic good at home. Of course, it’s what you can afford and what is provided for you that has the final say.

Linux Mint 22.1 Upgrades Weekend

2 Comments

I run Linux Mint as my desktop and laptop operating system. It is free, open-source, and runs well on older hardware like mine. They released a terrific upgrade with some new and updated features so I have installed it on both of my machines and they run very well. I can do everything on Linux that I can do on Microsoft Windows without the bloat and slowdown.

Among the many things I like is when Linux Mint does an upgrade it doesn’t take forever to set up. I use Linux Mint 22.1 for web browsing, media, word processing, and playing games like Tetris and Solitaire and much more. So, It’s been fun setting things up and customizing the look on both machines.

Many machines are going to be without support from Microsoft as Windows 10 support ceases soon. I suggest Linux Mint for anyone who needs a fresh, modern operating system to keep their older machines running. There is a lot of support out there to help you get it running and use it for everyday tasks and the like.

Posture in anything is important. When operating your computer it is essential. The top frame is in proper posture. The bottom frame is not. When you do it right you can expect to have maximum productivity. If you are like the fellow laying down, then who knows what will happen.
