Observations on the world and its inhabitants
BigLinux is one of the most powerful Linux distributions out there. It originates in Brazil – where unbeknownst to most – there is a huge culture of software development. The Linux world is exploding and Microsoft is worried but keeping a straight face. So having gone into Linux, I chose BigLinux over Zorin – I ...
This post is what happened after attempts with OneDriver failed miserably. The landscape for cloud storage integration on Linux desktops often involves a trade-off between simplicity and stability.

In the pandemic period documents would regularly have been shared in a group on a big screen and somebody would be typing. That experience over the last ...
Oh yes – it was another day in ‘Paradise’. This is a place that cannot be named, cuz I’m not economically independent as yet. But.. but one day the beans will be spilt – fully! Until then just get the anonymised story. So, there is nail-biting anxiety among folk over here about using a thing ...
