Migrating To EndeavourOS
In my previous post, I spoke about running Linux and how it may not be for everyone, pointing to myself as someone who has Linux installed on their laptop, but not being used their day-to-day operating system, also known as a distro, on their desktop. However, I did not go into which distro I am currently using on my laptop, having written in the past about using Linux Mint. In this brief post, I’ll go into which I left Mint, where I went to, and then why I’ve now landed on EndeavourOS.
Linux For Everyone?
Due to a recent announcement by Microsoft that they are adding a Recall service to their Windows operating system, something that has worried people over privacy concerns, equating the idea to spyware, people have wondered if Linux is a viable alternative to those unhappy with Windows. In this more rambling post, I’ll go into my thoughts on this matter.
Twitter, Reddit, and API
In 2023, changes were made at two of the biggest social media platforms, with first Twitter, and then Reddit, deciding to reduce free access to their application programming interfaces, known as APIs. In this short post, I’ll write about how these changes affect me and what I have done about it.
To Do Lists
Throughout the past decade or so, I have dabbled with using “to do” applications with limited success due to either a limiting feature set, nagware in free versions, or me simply forgetting about it. In this post, I’ll go into apps and services I tried out in the past, what worked for me more recently, and where I am at now, having successfully implemented a functioning setup I use and don’t forget about, as well as having a brief discussion on how I manage and access my calendars.
Browser Setup
Of all the applications I use most on my computer, I’m probably most reliant on my web browser, having it open pretty much the entire time. In today’s post, I’ll be going into a brief history of my use of web browsers, and then explore my current browser setup with what add-ons I use and why.
