This is my honest, much needed and unbiased review of the new (budget) Lenovo Thinkpad E485 with AMD Ryzen (Raven Ridge) APU
Last year I built a PC with a AMD Ryzen 5 1600 and I was truly impressed. Then now its time for me to get a new laptop and it was only natural to look for something that had AMD in it. I am very excited for my first Thinkpad, I even starting writing the same day as I ordered the unit (which took its damn time to be delived.
Giving Crunchbang's look to your OpenSUSE Openbox installation.
I’ve been running OpenSUSE (Tumbleweed) for some years now and KDE was my Desktop Environment of choice since years ago but before that, I was a die hard user of the Crunchbang (#!) Linux distro, which featured an awesome gray Openbox desktop. The simplicity Crunchbang offered is something that I missed during the years and after I found out that the community had revived the project in the for of Crunchbangplusplus and also Bunsenlabs, I just had to try it again but this time OpenSUSE Tumbleweed was my choice, instead of the good old Debian.
A simple GTK weather indicator written in Go because why not.
Recently I started using Openbox as my WM again (after a long time with KDE, the nostalgia hit me). After I had everything working as I wanted to, I noticed the lack of a weather indicator in my systray.
Usually, the desktop environments I have used (Gnome, KDE, Mate) have some sort of applet for this included and I really never bothered (when I was using Openbox before, I had some hacky script that would display the weather in my tint2, but I can’t find it anymore).
Nim is a systems and applications programming language. It has nice features such as producing dependency-free binaries, running on a huge list of operating systems and architectures and compiling to C, C++ or JavaScript. I’ve been messing with it for a while and I am very pleased with it. To be honest, Nim and Go have been my choices when I need to start a new project (goodbye Python, at least for now).
