This is kinda funny. I decided to go ahead and log into Firefox for bookmark sync purposes, since I thought I would just settle down and try and live in Garuda for a while to see if the current setup continues to work well.

So yeah, apparently Firefox decided to automatically send over that silly bookmark bar MX adds to its Firefox package, which I hadn't bothered to turn off in the new install yet. Oops. But if I should need the antiX wiki, I guess I would be all set.

do you use linux. how & why

I do! While I do use Windows 10 for my desktop since I game a lot and play with a lot of old software so its bit of a requirement, I use linux on pretty much everything else I can. I even run it in VMs on my desktop on a fairly frequent basis to do things windows simply cant. As for the how using linux is pretty easy once you manage to learn how to use a CLI since even if you have a GUI you'll still be interfacing with it a lot. I prefer debain based distros since thats what I learned linux with and my current distro of choice is MXLinux, though I havent had a chance to use it much since I switched to it so I might change back to stock Debain. As for the why of it I simply love Open Source software as well as loving the amount of freedom it gives you, also its better for things like running servers and honestly once you get used to using a CLI you can get a lot faster with doing things in your OS. Its very fun to tinker and to do things on it as well so its a great hobby thing, its also a great way to breath some new live into an old laptop so I definitely recommend doing that at some point. I plan to run a homelab on some old hardware I have to do things like have a FTP server, host my own website and Gmod server, and do a veriety of other fun things on it which will all be accomplished with linux and a bunch of VMs. Thank you for the ask!

It's a very serious rule. If you don't hit your flirting quota then the terrible tux will come to you at night and install MXLinux on your puter as punishment.

But if you kiss many, then the wonderful Xenia will bestow you with protection from bugs and crashes

Recreating My Conky Setup With Two Scripts for the XFCE4 Genmon Plugin

I recently ended up switching linux distros (because I managed to break Debian like a fool) and had heard about MX Linux and decided to give it a shot. Let me quickly start off by saying that I found the installation process of MX Linux to be easy, well-designed, and intuitive. The distro has pretty much everything an end-user might want pre-installed and set up, and runs rather smoothly. In fact, I'm pretty sure that with this XFCE4/Openbox configuration I've set up, that my laptop is running smoother than ever before ... including after I reinstalled Debian last year. However, I realized that I do like WhiskerMenu as a "start menu" type of thing, but it seemed to complain if I did not have XFCE4's panel running. Rather than fight against the way that the distro has things set up -- which is what got me in trouble in the first place -- I decided to lean into XFCE4's way of doing things, and decided to adapt a second panel into something like my horizontal Conky bar that I've been using essentially since 2011 or so. That led me to discover the remarkably versatile Genmon plugin for the XFCE4 panel. In short, it can display all sorts of things that are output from any script or program, which meant it was a perfect way for me to recreate that Conky bar. As a result, I coded (while waiting for things to reinstall, etc) two scripts that provide pretty much all the same information, but in a prettier way. {1}

One script displays CPU, RAM, CPU temperature, battery status, and system load, while the second displays network connection information. (I would recommend using something like Multiload-ng for graphs including network speeds.) It has a lot of built-in niceties that weren't all present in other scripts for the plugin: - Definable "warning" and "alert" values for pretty much every variable in sysmon_script with colorization to yellow and red for definable WARN and ALERT values. - Automatic detection and display of VPN data. - Determines WAN IP address through a cascading fallback of sites and methods. - Uses emojis for inline "icons" so you can adjust the size of the bar easily to fit whatever height you prefer. - Using two instances of the Genmon plugin means you can have different refresh rates for each (I currently have the system monitor running at every 2 seconds, and the network connection info running at every 30 seconds). These scripts crib significantly from several byobu scripts originally by Dustin Kirkland for Canonical in 2008, as well as the genmon example script as well as scripts from almaceleste and xtonousou and this StackOverflow answer for getting a simple human-readable CPU percentage. There are preview images available (both oriented horizontally like it actually is meant to be, and vertically so you can read the text explanation more easily) and the LGPL licensed scripts are available at Github, GitLab, and my personal Git repository. Featured Image by James Osborne from Pixabay {1} The scripts can also be used -- with some modification to strip out the color styling and such -- with Conky, tmux statusbars, and the like.
