My Quest to Align Hotkeys on macOS and GNOME
I’m the type of person that will invest way too much time trying to juice my productivity. While I try to keep things as close to stock as possible, I do rely heavily on a small number of hotkeys. The problem is, the hotkeys that I’ve grown to love the most are somewhat GNOME specific,…

Switching to Alacritty: A Fast and Efficient Terminal
I finally went all in on switching to Alacritty. For the longest time, I’ve been a bit reluctant, sticking it out with the default terminal of my operating system du jour. On Linux, running GNOME, the GNOME Terminal was more than sufficient. Terminal.app on macOS irks me due to how the window based on the…

Fix for gnome-keyring 46.0+ disabling ssh-agent
A breaking change landed on my Arch Linux system the other day, revealing itself when trying to use git. Usually something like this would wind up in the Arch Linux home page. Not this time. Booting up on a Monday after my end of the week update, I was trying to push some code and…

Dark mode not working with GNOME Terminal on Arch Linux
Dark mode, I love it so. I use it any and everywhere I can. GNOME has continued to offer better and better dark mode support, initially via dark versions of themes, and more recently, seemingly more native and backed in without much hackery to support it. With the exception of…

Spotify stuck in fullscreen
I’m not sure why it happens, but from time to time I’ll start up Spotify (in GNOME) and it will not only be in fullscreen mode, but there’s no apparent way to exit out. Even though the cause will probably remain a mystery, I did figure out how to get…

GNOME screen locking not working
I love Linux, but every so often something happens that makes me question whether or not my love affair since the mid-1990s is true love or just Stockholm syndrome. One such instance happened recently when, for no explicable reason, my laptop, running GNOME (on Arch Linux) decided to stop locking…

Broken icons on OpenWeather GNOME Extension
I don’t use many GNOME Extensions. Nothing against them, but less extensions means less crap to break when the latest GNOME release drops. For the most part, I opt for extensions that well maintained and not prone to breaking between major releases. Things were peachy for a while, but recently…

How I GNOME or Why I Don’t Use a Tiling Window Manager
You wouldn’t believe how often somebody says to me, “you should check out a tiling window manager, I think you’d really enjoy it”. I get it, I’m that guy. I still favor the command-line for everything, I use vim and GNU/Screen. I clickety clack on a mechanical keyboard. Hell, I…

How to install Firefox Developer Edition in GNOME on Debian Stretch
Haven’t said much about it, but I’ve recently moved back to Firefox on all of my devices. Nightly on my phone, and Developer Edition on my computers. The installation on Arch was a piece of cake (as expected) but on my iMac running Debian 9 (Stretch) I had issues with…

Unable to open GNOME settings on Arch Linux after GNOME upgrade
Often times I blog about topics because I want to make sure I have a record of an issue and how I resolved it. This is one of those times. As discussed last week, I recently made the switch from Debian to Arch Linux. The biggest draw for me was…
