Is It The Year Of Linux?

Alright, so I know it isn’t much but here we are. I started using Linux again a few months ago and WOW!

It has gotten much better! My previous experience with Linux something like 15 years ago. I was in high school and thought I’d give that cool Ubuntu operating system a try.

I couldn’t play most of my PC games then, so it didn’t last long.

The “Rice”

This is probably the most lackluster rice you’ve ever seen, but I’m happy with it for the moment.

I’m running Pop OS since it plays better with my Nvidia GPU with the default GNOME DE.

GNOME Tweaks and Extensions is a must.

The GNOME extension “Open Bar” is the big hero here. It gets rid of that big ugly GNOME top bar and turns into little bubble islands with a custom color shadow.

For window appearance I’m using the Dracula w/ Pink accent theme.

I moved the dock over on the left because it just felt better that way and done.

Most of the apps are default Pop OS stuff except my file manager Thunar.

Future Rice?

I’m definitely going to change this setup soon, but wanted to share my first.

It seems like AI is causing more problems than it solves. Now it is hitting YouTubers with AI moderation that is capable of terminating entire channels.

I didn’t watch the video, but the quote here by MoistCr1TiKaL is profound and something we should think about going forward with AI.

“AI should never be able to be the judge, jury, and executioner.”

Social media has really fucked things up. I remember when Myspace was just a top 5 list of your best friends.

Now all social media is some elusive, manipulative algorithm that we’ve sold our identities to.

I finally understand why over the years so many have strongly urged for people to create their own websites.

Having your own website is like a private digital garden that you get to curate on your own. Create digital gardens not doom-scrollable content for an algorithm.
