<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/linux-on-the-surface-go.html" class="article-title">GNU/Linux on the Microsoft Surface Go</a></h2>
42
<div class="home-article-date">2024-11-27</div>
43
<p><p>Interestingly, the best GNU/Linux tablet is actually made by Microsoft. The
44
Surface Go (first generation) is a tablet released in 2018. The performance is
45
nothing amazing, but unlike most tablets, you can actually make use of the
46
performance it does have; it doesn't feel slow for normal tablet tasks either.
47
Besides that, it has a 10" screen, front and back cameras, a kickstand, stylus
48
support and a detachable keyboard — but the latter two are sold separately.

<div class="home-article-date">2024-11-10</div>
55
<p><p>I see this so often and it's so wrong. That if you know GNU/Linux, you must
56
switch to Arch, Gentoo, Fedora, OpenSUSE or at least Debian. That if you use
57
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>
63
<div class="home-article-date">2024-07-31</div>
64
<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
65
does Unix-compatible file operations, process management, and system calls, but without the GNU
66
suite or some other userland, it is just a kernel which doesn't have to be used as a Unix-like
67
one.

<h2><a href="/articles/homemade-nas.html" class="article-title">Cheap, homemade NAS with Raspberry Pi</a></h2>
73
<div class="home-article-date">2024-05-21</div>
74
<p><p>This is a very simple, cheap and quick way to get networked storage at home. It should not cost
75
more than €120 for all the components (assuming you've got a network you can plug it into). It also
76
offers more flexibility than a commercial NAS, because you can install any software you want on it.
77
And if you already use the Raspberry Pi for something else, you can just add this to it and not
78
worry about an extra device you need power, networking, space and maintenance for.
