Looking forward to giving the Fedora 41 Beta a try. I've not got any spare machines at the moment, so it'll have to be tested in a virtual machine to begin with.
I don't game much these days, but tonight I connected a Xbox controller to my Fedora gaming box for the first time and played some Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor - Martyr (that's a mouthful) on Steam. Everything just worked and the game plays much better with a controller than with keyboard and mouse. I'm now tempted to move that machine into the living room and connect it to our TV for some big screen gaming.
Every now-and-again my laptop gets really hot. I'm pretty sure the culprit is GNOME Tracker, but I'm not sure I want to resolve the issue. Winter is coming!
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.
And just like that, my month long journey with Fedora is over. I really enjoyed Fedora 40, but ultimately I'm a Debian user at heart. It feels good to be back.
Writing some shell scripts for system admin. I love writing shell scripts.
Today marks 2 months of using Windows 11 exclusively. I've been using it for a work project and I've not used my Linux desktop machine once in that time. I really missed GNOME when I started using Windows, but as the weeks have gone on, I've found Windows to be a more than capable alternative. Not sure if it is related, but I recently received an email from Satan in which he was bemoaning the cold weather he has been experiencing of late.
How many times do you run a specific set of shell commands, before you create a script to automate the process? Sometimes, I think I wait far too long.
