The Ly display manager doesn’t seem to play very nice with OpenRC on Gentoo linux and will only display for a few seconds before being overtaken by agetty....

A couple of years ago with my old phone (running if I don’t remember wrong Android Pie) and my old laptop (running Manjaro KDE) I discovered KDEConnect and how it could enable a clipboard sharing feature similar to the one Apple provides between Macs and iPhones. It was great! Now, after having changed both my phone (now...

A little admiration of how easy UI customization is on Firefox, and how shitty Chromium looks.

The latest stable kernel, Linux 6.8, is now available for installation on Ubuntu systems through Canonical's Ubuntu Mainline Kernel PPA archive. This

In addition to lots and lots of Plasma 6 stability work and the beginning of Plasma 6.1 feature work, Dolphin received large amount of development this week, resulting in some nice improvements. Check it out!
