  • Endeavour OS

    I’ve tried all the usual distros many times over the years but never an arch based distro until last year. I gave arch a go first and it was great but then tried endeavouros and it came with the fixes I needed and was more instantly good from the first boot. The AUR and arch wiki stuff just makes the whole experience most (sry to use this term) Windows like in terms of fixes and support.


  • Yip. I was trying to find a useful front end to manage the audio settings on my focusrite audio interface. Pipewire has the functions and capability to set the sample rate and buffet size on the fly but I failed to find a gui until for it that wasn’t part of some other complicated thing. When I suggested the Devs of pipewire should provide a GUI I was politely shot down. The reasons given were; it takes too long, and Linux users don’t mind the CMD line. I think this is a mind-set that needs to evolve.
















  • The 2 principles I stick to are.

    1. Job hunting is a numbers game, just like any sales job. Don’t take rejection personally, just move on to the next one.
    2. Don’t get excited about a job until you have a signed contract. Just apply / interview, and forget about it until the next stage happens.

    Number 2 is hard to do sometimes, but worth doing whenever possible.
