    I’m Switching from Xfce to KDE on Arch Linux

    Hey Hobbyists! I’ve been running vanilla Arch Linux since last year but I’ve cycled through a number of GTK desktops. After a buggy experience with Xfce, I decided to switch back to Qt land.

    My days of reinstalling and distro-hopping are over. Just regular ole Arch Linux is so good, I’ve all but dropped my aspirations to develop Hobby Linux. I’ll talk about that another time…

    Xfce 4.20 was very buggy for me

    I don’t know what exactly the issue was but the desktop in Xfce 4.20 simply stopped working. It happened after plugging my TV in via HDMI. Another annoyance is having to enable “presentation mode” to disable Xfce’s screen saving features while watching a movie. On every other desktop, VLC being full-screened is enough.

    Switching to KDE Plasma was truly the right move.

    Update to 6.3 was flawless

    Egee.io: Back Online!

    On the last website, the most recent post was “Egee.io’s not dead yet!”… And then it abruptly died.

    I was trying to wrangle the back end with Podman and everything went to hell. I decided to hose it all out, database included. We’re good now.

    I’m writing this little piece to get some content out there. I’m browsing themes and I’m looking for a good one.
