All Linux Things

PEX is not bad to work with. The most often mentioned drawback is it has a high coefficient of friction, so you either loose water pressure, or you have to go with bigger pipe. Personally what I dislike is that installs always look so unprofessional. It just seems very janky compared to nice even st...

Not really Linux related, but in the past month I purchased a big electric chisel thing and a set of PEX tools for doing new PEX plumbing. This was triggered because the water heater died and had to be replaced. I took @crosscourt's suggestion and decided to just go ahead and redo all the plumbing. ...

I have been thinking more and more about moving to FreeBSD. I think it was @Bin that had mentioned NsCDE which I have been looking at in a VM.

It looks like it is mostly aimed toward retaining usability on Chrome devices that Google has stopped ...

One of the things I have liked about the BSDs is they have a tendency to treat every task as a learning opportunity. Today I was reading the release notes for a new version of GhostBSD. In the how to install section they say to write the iso download to a USB thumb drive. I think every Linux distro ...

I downloaded and fired up KDE Neon. Neon is not a distro I would consider for daily work, but it up dates fast and the latest download includes Plasma 6, which I was interested in seeing.
