Fun with grep, awk and sed.
The Linux Dabbler, aka Mike, posted a video yesterday detailing a process where you could use a few terminal commands to display your keybindings. He got the idea from AwesomeWM, and then wrote a script for his spectrwm install.It's awesome.So I thought I'd steal the idea and do something fo...

Software Management on Ubuntu is Horrible
I briefly used Ubuntu on hardware the other day. I like the design they've gone with and it is one of the most stable distros out there, but man, the software selection outside of the snap store is horrible.Termite, the best terminal emulator ever imho, is not on Ubuntu and won't build.Picom...

No Pod This Week (but I might find one anyways)
