Greetings hobbyists! I’m going to be taking a look at a little Arch-based Linux distribution called AcreetionOS. Sounds a bit like my very own Hobby Linux. Should be fun to poke at, hope to see you there!

Upgrading to the latest Gnome Desktop on Arch Linux
Watch me upgrade my Arch workstation with the latest Gnome desktop! I started the saga on KDE but things got bumpy so I switched to Gnome. And already there’s an update!?
In the last Linux video, I switched from Xfce to Kde. And now, I’m back in GTK-land on Gnome. What gives? It’s mostly me being lazy. I need to re-setup my xdg-portals for Kde and fix kwallet. It’s the simple stuff I can’t be bothered with.
I recorded this last weekend, so I’m half a week into Gnome 48. I’ve seen the stacking notifications but I still haven’t seen the battery capacity/health feature.
Overall, it’s just fine. I’m still using it, so that’s a measure of success.

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
