This is interesting.
Starling: A new desktop environment for Linux, built in Swift and Flutter, with Cosmic like toggle-on tiling. Clearly Starling is trying to be macOS-like, which will make it feel familiar to many mac users. That’s what originally made gnome appeal to me. But this also forces an important question: would you trust your entire DE to be built by Claude?

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.

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.

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.
