Looking at the reactions, I can see two fractions: This is the year of the Linux Desktop It’s not that big of a deal. It’s easy to install Linux. I wanted to address both of those. Let’s start with: This is the year of the Linux Desktop I doubt it. Mostly because SteamOS isn’t a desktop OS, but a console OS. /posts/2024/configure-bridge-for-kvm-on-debian-bookworm/ Sun, 28 Jan 2024 15:52:14 -0800 /posts/2024/configure-bridge-for-kvm-on-debian-bookworm/ This is mainly for myself to remember how I did it. Might be helpful for others as well. Install bridge-utils The bridge-utils are needed to configure a bridge. apt install bridge-utils Configure the bridge interface with DHCP Check with the following command which interface your physical interface is ip -f inet a s Mine is enp1s0 Create the file /etc/network/interfaces.d/br0. I prefer using DHCP over a static configuration. It allows me to configure everything on my DHCP server. /posts/2024/i-use-arch-linux-btw/ Wed, 03 Jan 2024 13:20:40 -0800 /posts/2024/i-use-arch-linux-btw/ Yes, I am now one of THEM. As stated in my last post, I got a new laptop last year. I wanted to go with Debian, but because the hardware is very new, I had to go with something more … current. My old laptop ran Manjaro, and I was quite happy with it. However, I wanted to go with a base distribution. Nothing that uses another distribution as it’s base. /posts/2023/reduce-cpu-frequency-when-laptop-lid-is-closed/ Mon, 11 Dec 2023 19:33:27 -0800 /posts/2023/reduce-cpu-frequency-when-laptop-lid-is-closed/ I got a new Alienware M16 laptop. One thing that I had done on my old laptop was, that I had it automatically lower the CPU frequency when I closed the lid on my laptop. I don’t want it to go to sleep but also don’t need it to run full blast. Yes, the CPU governor should lower the frequency on it’s own, but this way I just force it to the lowest frequency. /posts/2023/starting-with-nextcloud/ Wed, 06 Dec 2023 16:57:31 -0800 /posts/2023/starting-with-nextcloud/ Starting with NextCloud I finally got myself a MiniPC. Installed Linux on it and then NextCloud AIO. It was a bit of a hassle to get the port forwarding as I wanted it. AIO is also a bit finicky if you give it some incorrect information. It doesn’t complain until you try to get everything setup and it simply doesn’t work. After the first few hurdles, I started tinkering with my shiny new NextCloud instance. /posts/2023/change-game-executable-in-steam-linux-steamdeck/ Sun, 29 Jan 2023 10:43:08 -0800 /posts/2023/change-game-executable-in-steam-linux-steamdeck/ Warning: Changing the executable could get you banned in online games. There are many reasons why you would want to change the executable that is used to launch a game under Steam. You might want to use a different launcher. Specifically for MODs you might want to launch an alternate launcher or you need a pateched executable. Warning: Be carefuly with any executable you download. If you do not trust the source, don’t use it. /posts/2022/why-i-use-vim/ Mon, 26 Dec 2022 14:01:46 -0800 /posts/2022/why-i-use-vim/ I’ve been watching a few of those videos that talk about vim vs other editors for programming. I thought I throw my two cents in and explain, why I use vim. Not just for editing configuration files, but also programming and pretty much anything else. I even write this post with vim. I say that right away, I don’t think that the other ones are bad, they are just not right for me.
