Spent a minute to clean-up my AppIndicator icons. It's a silly little thing, but the coloured icons looked out of place and whilst they were not triggering me too much, it is nice to have them fit in with the other monochrome icons.

I had a moment of weakness last Friday and moved back to using Debian. I find it mentally difficult to switch to using a different distro, but after a couple of days I decided that I should persist with my self-imposed mission to switch to using Fedora. I've been a Debian user for so long that I feel some sort of brand loyalty towards it, which is just crazy. Anyhow, I think this is what lead to my moment of weakness. Does anyone else get these feelings? I'm not crazy.

Running Fedora 39 on my Razer Blade 15 and it's almost silent with very little fan noise. Running Windows 11 on the same machine and it sounds like a Boeing 747 on takeoff. WTF is that about?

Giving Fedora 39 a try in a virtual machine. It looks and feels like another solid release. If I wasn't a Debian user, I'd be a Fedora user, no doubt.

Sunday evening and Becky is planet hopping in Starfield again, whilst I queue up some podcasts for my journeys into work next week. I’ve just subscribed to the Fedora Project Podcast and I’m interested to give it a listen.
