A small side-effect of my community and blogging work is, that I occassionaly (a few times per month) have people reach out to me asking for advice on a variety of topics, or for help if they are in a pickle. The lastest case was a guy from Czechia (Let’s call him Mr. D), asking…

Setting up a VPS for several small e-commerce businesses (part 1)
Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to set up a few websites, both static and dynamically generated. A few years ago, I’ve settled on Wordpress as my default choice, initially simply building up sites from themes and plugins, until I bit the bullet and started adding my own snippets of PHP and later building…

Adding OpenCV libraries to a QT5 project in Ubuntu 20.04
I’ve recently gained interest in OpenCV. The problem with this is, that in most modern tutorials and walkthroughs it seems like the go-to language for working with this C-library is Python. I have an unreasonable antipathy towards this snake of a language and although I intend to fight through it some day in the future,…

Ubuntu 20.04 Focal Fossa Mega Review – A complex look at the state of Ubuntu
As somebody who’s always had Ubuntu in his daily life for the past 13 years, I sometimes find it hard to differentiate between all the versions. I do appreciate the progress though, albeit I’ve felt like the direction Ubuntu was taking was going to force me to abandon it eventually. Lately, though, I’ve enjoyed the…

That being said, Gnome 3.34 in Ubuntu 19.10…

Ubuntu Budgie 19.04 Review
This review is one of the longest in the making ever since starting this blog. I’ve been using Ubuntu Budgie on my desktop workstation even before I’ve installed Xubuntu 19.04 on my main laptop for it’s review. From day one, I kinda liked it, making in my eyes a ton more sense than Gnome Shell…

Xubuntu 19.04
If there is a desktop environment that I always somehow evaded, it’s XFCE. I’ve always thought that I had my DEs well categorized – Unity was awesome, but misunderstood and limited to Ubuntu, Gnome 2 / MATE was/is featureful, but it’s widgets and applets crash constantly, LXDE brought new life for computers with less than…

KDE Neon (18.04) Review
My very first experience with KDE was back in the day of Ubuntu 7.10, with KDE 3. I quickly got overwhelmed by the breadth of settings, it’s modularity and default look similar to Windows platform, from which I had just escaped. It only took me a few days, before I switched back to Gnome 2…
