Tech For Everyone #22: The Linus Effect

Tech For Everyone #21: Me vs PC, Linus vs Linux
Linus Tech Tips recently unleashed Part 2 of its ongoing, divisive yet eye-opening Linux Gaming Challenge. It only took me 2 minutes and 48 seconds of viewing time to realize how fractured and confusing desktop Linux can be for beginners. The video caused me …

Tech For Everyone #19: Rebirth
I've been on a music-centric reading spree, highlighted by the gloriously nostalgic "Nöthin' But a Good Time: The Uncensored History of the '80s Hard Rock Explosion," a book you should absolutely read if you want a raw look at the history and debauchery of th…

Tech For Everyone #15: My favorite bar in Croatia
Last week we escaped to Premantura for a few days.(Those of you who've followed me since the summer of 2020 might know Premantura as my peaceful away from home on the Istrian Coast of Croatia, where I recovered from Legionnaire's Disease.)It didn't matter tha…
Tech For Everyone #14: Nuke and pave the news
Welcome to Games for Everyone! This little section of the newsletter is where I will be making weekly gaming recommendations. The thought process behind these recommendations is they must play on Linux either natively or through Steam Proton, with no extra co…

Tech For Everyone #9: Fake Headlines and GNOME Gestures
Last week I wrote briefly about Lou Otten's passing. He was the engineer at Phillips responsible for inventing cassettes. That flawed but wonderful vehicle for mixtapes. The medium that inspired the Walkman and made our music truly portable. Well, I realized …
Tech For Everyone #8: Now I REALLY ❤️ Steam
Last week I wrote a minor rant about Intel's awkward and somewhat grudge-tinged marketing campaign against Apple Silicon. Nevermind the fact that a Mac is technically also a PC. Nevermind that Apple still sells Intel-powered MacBook Pros. Nevermind all of tha…
The Question: Windows, Linux or macOS?
One of several common threads I've seen running through my community is a sincere love for music (yes, and coffee but we'll get to that soon). So, in keeping with this theme of consuming on Sundays rather than creating, I'm inviting some friends to recommend …
Tech For Everyone #6: All System76, All The Time
Someone shared this meme with me today. First time I’d seen it! I’ll admit, it made me laugh out loud until I realized a few seconds later that it’s perpetuating a myth about modern-day Linux that people shouldn’t believe:
Tech For Everyone #5: Intel's grudge + Alienware's cherry on top

Tech For Everyone #4: My Radeon RX 6700 XT Review (Hypothetically)
