As the maintainer of Plank Reloaded, the most common bug report I get is "this app has the wrong icon." It's almost never the dock - it's a broken StartupWMClass. https://thoughts.greyh.at/posts/startup-wm-class/

I finally figured out how to get Vim navigation everywhere on Linux. So I thought I'd write a little update on everything I've been doing on Linux since my last post. https://thumbsup.me/posts/vim-everywhere-on-linux/

Switched back from Bluefin (an immutable Linux distro based on Fedora) to Fedora itself so I could have a bit more freedom to tinker. So far it's been a breeze on my old Thinkpad t490. Here's a screenshot of where I'm at today. I'm using Gnome. I've got some wallpapers I stole from PikaOS. And I'm running Ghostty with: theme = Catppuccin Mocha background-opacity = 0.95 background-blur-radius = 15 gtk-titlebar = false window-padding-x = 20 window-padding-y = 20

I got my Thinkpad's fingerprint sensor working on Linux and now I can log in or even authenticate in terminal with just a finger 💪

I did the thing. And then I did it again, and again, and again. And then I wrote about it. https://thumbsup.me/posts/i-put-linux-on-a-thinkpad/

I've posted about this before, but if you're looking for a great Raycast clone for Linux (one which is compatible with Raycast extensions), check out Vicinae https://www.vicinae.com/

Feishin is available as a flatpak now! In case you don’t know Feishin is a Spotify Desktop clone that connects to Jellyfin and Navidrome. Being available as a flatpak means that it’s now available on every distro without compiling. And on immutable distros like Bazzite, Bluefin, VanillaOS openSuse Aeon, this means you can now add Feishin without jumping through hoops. https://www.newinlinux.com/feishin-1-11-is-now-a-flatpak/
