A Commentary on Linux and Computer Hardware

Apple launched a new series of MacBooks recently called Neo. They are powered by the same chips that power iPhones. I think the company is producing so many new things that something you bought last year seems obsolete. That planned obsolescence cannot be good for the environment because of the e-waste it produces. We are also aware of Windows 11 making many systems obsolete too.

I am glad to do my part to keep older machines going as long as possible. Thanks to Linux working on perfectly good machines it can make a difference. It’s also fun and cool to keep an older system going with a little creativity such as more memory and SSDs. To the Linux community lets keep making our favorite distros better and easier for new users to come on board so they can save some time and money.

I recommend ZorinOS, Fedora or Linux Mint for anyone wanting to get into the Linux game. They are powerful operating systems that is easy on older systems. They are also full of features that will help you get things done such as web browsing, word processing, graphics, podcasts, email, music, gaming and more.

From Nerd Corner – Figuring Out Fedora


I reinstalled the Fedora Linux operating system yesterday and I have been settling in by downloading programs and importing files. Some stuff didn’t look right but with a Google search and some very light copying and pasting into the terminal things are looking and working good.

I must say that the vanilla Gnome desktop environment experience is good and allows for modifications. Figuring stuff out is exciting.

Trying A New Operating System, Fedora KDE Plasma

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.
