Garuda KDE Dr4g0nized is beautiful!

I was running Manjaro on my son’s older Asus ROG and he complained about game performance so it has been sitting. I was wanting to check out Garuda so I installed it today on his Asus. I only had a few hiccups once installed and was rather forced to install the Dr460ized version – I […]

Alternative Manjaro Cat Wallpaper

I really liked the Manjaro cat wallpaper included in the KDE flavor (the original artist is muser on https://forum.manjaro.org/) but wanted it spiced up so I made my own. Here are the files I created to make the wallpaper, includes the Inkscape cat svg and Krita file. To create the background I just used the […]

Creating a Natron/KDEnlive space animation.

Had some downtime and wanted to give Natron a try. It has always ran like shit on the Linux distributions I run so I don’t think I’d use it for big projects but for small clips, like maybe subscribe buttons, it works great. I just hope someone picks up the development again, because I like […]

Second Laptop Monitor: 15.6″ Auzai Portable Review

We all know having a second monitor is nice. Being able to have documentation, video monitor, reference photo, audio meters, whatever off you main screen is so convenient and frankly more productive. I never considered having a second monitor for my laptop that I could carry with me but it’s actually rather nice extending the […]
