  • I’ve been on Mac for around 10 years and the price of the hardware was a huge motivator. The 13" Framework came out and I jumped on that modular bandwagon. I do still use my Mac as a video ripping station but otherwise I earn all my money as a dev on Fedora 40 and have a secondary tablet with NixOS on it, because the draw of an easily reproducible system is strong.

    Now Apple just continues to do stupid shit and I just want to own my computer without them looking over my shoulder and charging me a huge price to do it.

    I do need to upgrade the Framework (started with the cheap i5 chip) to the fastest AMD variant available so that streaming works better without the fan spinning up, or just build a desktop for streaming and video work.








  • I’ve tried AwesomeWM but couldn’t get anything going with it really.

    I then moved on to Material Shell (yes that’s a Gnome Extension) and it brought enough to really make me want to dig in more.

    Now I’m slowly working on a Sway configuration on my Fedora 38 machine. Can’t work in it yet, but unlike my attempt at AwesomeWM…I’m actually making progress on getting things setup. My 4 monitors were configured fairly easily, but now I need to figure out why dmenu isn’t working to launch applications. Could be on my end since I’m using a Moonlander keyboard with a custom DVORAK profile.
