<h2><a href="/articles/gtk--makes-no-sense.html" class="article-title">GTK 4 makes no sense</a></h2>
33
<div class="home-article-date">2025-03-04</div>
34
<p><p>I recently started to write a GTK 3 library, but then I realised it will be
35
obsolete in 5 years at most, and I thought GTK 4 isn't that bad, so I decided to
36
port it to GTK 4. Turns out I was wrong.

<h2><a href="/articles/font-stacks.html" class="article-title">Proposed system font stacks</a></h2>
47
<div class="home-article-date">2024-12-27</div>
48
<p><p>I've seen <a href="https://modernfontstacks.com/">Modern Font Stacks</a>. I agree that there are many cases
49
where system fonts are fine, but the stacks there have some problems, especially with GNU/Linux
50
devices.

<h2><a href="/articles/linux-on-the-surface-go.html" class="article-title">GNU/Linux on the Microsoft Surface Go</a></h2>
59
<div class="home-article-date">2024-11-27</div>
60
<p><p>Interestingly, the best GNU/Linux tablet is actually made by Microsoft. The
61
Surface Go (first generation) is a tablet released in 2018. The performance is
62
nothing amazing, but unlike most tablets, you can actually make use of the
63
performance it does have; it doesn't feel slow for normal tablet tasks either.
64
Besides that, it has a 10" screen, front and back cameras, a kickstand, stylus
65
support and a detachable keyboard — but the latter two are sold separately.

<h2><a href="/articles/beginner-distros.html" class="article-title">There are no beginner GNU/Linux distributions</a></h2>
74
<div class="home-article-date">2024-11-10</div>
75
<p><p>I see this so often and it's so wrong. That if you know GNU/Linux, you must
76
switch to Arch, Gentoo, Fedora, OpenSUSE or at least Debian. That if you use
77
Mint or Ubuntu, you're not a real GNU/Linux user.

<h2><a href="/articles/gnulinux-not-linux.html" class="article-title">A Reason to Call it GNU/Linux</a></h2>
86
<div class="home-article-date">2024-07-31</div>
87
<p><p>Linux isn't very Unix-like by itself. Of course, it's a Unix-like <em class="emphasis-1">kernel</em>, and it
88
does Unix-compatible file operations, process management, and system calls, but without the GNU
89
suite or some other userland, it is just a kernel which doesn't have to be used as a Unix-like
90
one.

<h2><a href="/articles/homemade-nas.html" class="article-title">Cheap, homemade NAS with Raspberry Pi</a></h2>
99
<div class="home-article-date">2024-05-21</div>
100
<p><p>This is a very simple, cheap and quick way to get networked storage at home. It should not cost
101
more than €120 for all the components (assuming you've got a network you can plug it into). It also
102
offers more flexibility than a commercial NAS, because you can install any software you want on it.
103
And if you already use the Raspberry Pi for something else, you can just add this to it and not
104
worry about an extra device you need power, networking, space and maintenance for.

<h2><a href="/articles/moved-to-a-roundabout.html" class="article-title">Moved to a roundabout</a></h2>
160
<div class="home-article-date">2024-05-07</div>
161
<p><p>Welcome to my new website! I've moved from GitHub to a git software I've developed,
162
<a href="https://roundabout-host.com/roundabout/roundabout">a roundabout</a>. To go along with
163
this move, I also made a new website, which is powered by a custom static site generator
164
called <a href="https://roundabout-host.com/roundabout/ampoule">Ampoule</a>. This will be the
165
generator I will use to write the documentation for all my projects, including the
166
roundabout itself.
