Manjaro Linux for Music Production
Looking to create music on Manjaro Linux? Here is everything you’ll need to create music on Manjaro Linux using open source and\or commercial software.
Steam is a loss of freedom.
If you bought Cyberpunk 2077 from GOG you own the game. You can download the installer as a backup and the game is DRM free. The same is true of all the games there and they do a good job of updating and patching games. Steam is a controlled game store. Steam has many of […]
Looking for something similar to an older game or maybe an updated engine for a game you own?
If you are like me you might like to play all those older games from your youth. My gaming adventures span the eighties and nineties, with a few from the early two thousands. Thanks to GOG and Lutris I own all my old RPG favorites and play them easily on Linux. Thanks to all those […]
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 […]
Manjaro\Akonadi Issues with Fixes
Some quick fixes for the latest Manjaro updates and Akonadi db error. If you need back light for System 76 hardware this should help.
Manjaro Linux Rocks
What can I say about Manjaro 19.0 Kyria KDE Edition? It is the absolute best Linux distribution that I have installed to date. Goodbye POP! OS. I am running a 2018 Oryx from System 76 who also makes POP! OS and Manjaro actually works better on their hardware.
Install Photoshop CS6 on POP!OS 20.04 in PlayOnLinux
I find that Krita and/or The Gimp can pretty much do everything I want but one thing they can’t do is provide some of the excellent plug-ins found for Photoshop. If Krita could get Photoshop plug-in support I would imagine it would take a big chuck of Adobe’s end user market. I really don’t want […]
Kids Home Schooling or need something to do during the pandemic?
If you need to keep the kids learning, or just entertained while waiting for the virus to sweep though the population, maybe a few of these open source tools can help to keep them off your back while you try to do your job from home? 🙂 You can tell them it’s my fault so […]
COVID-19 got you going stir crazy? Play some classic RPGs!
Here is a list of classics. I played most of these when they were new. Played them again when they became abandon-ware. Unfortunately since GOG and Steam appeared these once free classics are being sold again. Can you imagine buying a copy of Windows 98? You don’t have too… Just get a copy of VMWare […]
COVID-19 sucks!
This is just insane how ill prepared most of our government and the corporate world is here in the US. Bill Gates warned you, as well as many others in the world of health and science. Anyway, if you need to move workers offsite to work from home but cannot afford to just buy all […]
