Vanilla OS 22.10 — Ubuntu-based Linux Distro
Vanilla OS 22.10 is a new Ubuntu-based Linux OS, using the GNOME 43.1 Desktop: ‘Designed to last over time and always be faithful to you. Vanilla OS is an immutable and atomic Ubuntu Linux-based Point Release distribution, that receives updates at the right time, neither before nor after, without sacrificing security and functionality‘. It uses the latest stable Linux Kernel ‘n has an ‘integrated driver management, whether it’s an AMD®, Intel®, or NVIDIA® GPU‘. I had a NVIDIA GPU and installing the driver was a breeze. Lots of interesting new options are offered, e.g., the Apx package manager, a utility which can install software from multiple distributions, such as Arch Linux, Fedora, Ubuntu.
Who writes most of the Open Source software — including Linux?
Microsoft & Google are ‘neck-and-neck‘ for the top spot — \o/ ‘Hippity hip Hoorah‘ \o/ — then comes #3 Red Hat, #4 Intel, #5 Amazon Web Services (AWS), and last but not least #6 IBM. Mostly all are companies *HATED* by the radical ‘n vocal Linux regular users. Regular users are what Linus Torvalds calls ‘normal people‘, and says Linux isn’t made for them to use, i.e., it’s mainly made for ‘Technical people’ such as Developers, Programmers, Sysadmins, IT Specialists, Maintainers, etc. Regular users are mainly the guinea pigs who test Linux desktops for free—without realizing it. 😉
Many of the regular Linux users are beyond being just ‘Fanatics‘ so I enjoy clowning around wid ‘n about them 🤡. Heck, Linux has never even mastered the ‘basic Wheel Mouse‘:
Redcore Linux 2301 – “very quick way to install” Gentoo Linux
Redcore Linux ‘is a distribution based on Gentoo Linux’ testing branch which uses a hardened profile by default‘. I’ve been trying to install Gentoo Linux, off ‘n on, for about 3-years, but am never able to make it to the graphical desktop. I can install Vanilla Arch Linux many different ways, but Gentoo Linux ‘n T2_SDE (T2 System Development Environment) are just beyond my ability. This Redcore Linux 2301 review explores the easiest path to Gentoo.
Using ChatGPT to create WordPress “Additional CSS” code to customize Blog’s “Appearance”
If you haven’t tried ChatGPT yet then you are falling behind. If you have tried it then give it a second or even third try, and then fall behind if you still don’t understand what it can do or simply don’t like it.
If you’re using a WordPress Premium plan (or higher) then you have the ability to add Custom CSS code (created wid ChatGPT) under Dashboard’s Appearance > Additional CSS customizing option. Some people have even created a ‘Working WordPress Plugin‘ for their blog.
I’m running a Hostinger self-hosted WordPress blog, the Karmi’s Musings & Tech blog, using the Multipurpose Blog premium $39 theme. Started the blog on 11/3/2022 ‘n have been slowly finding what I’ve needed for continued customizing. Self-hosting a blog takes some addition work, and WordPress themes that work at WordPress.com may need customizing if you go wid a hosting services. That’s when knowing some CSS code (or knowing how to find it) comes in handy. Today I asked ChatGPT to write a Blockquotes Style CSS script for me.
