5 Things You Did in Linux This Year


Matt -

1- I’ve transitioned completely to using Window Managers Only. Mostly I used i3 This year, but DWM has been my choice for the last month or so.

2- Created my own Firefox userChrome.css this year that I’ve been using for a while now. It’s awesome.

3- Discovered zim, which has transformed the way I take notes, write outlines, and plan for videos and NaNoWriMo

4- Learned more about Linux Audio than I ever thought I’d need to.

5- Still on the lookout for a better Office/Word Processor. LibreOffice is kinda bad.


Martin -

1 - Switched to Linux about 98% of the time

2 - Community

3 - Amount of free choice available

4 - Virtual Box

5 - Security
