OK converted my Flow X13 to Fedora 43. Was a little challenging with an igpu, dgpu, and egpu, but I made it happen. The big one for me was I made the switch from Gnome to KDE! 😳 This is my dev machine, but also gaming on Linux has never been better!

Working on my home lab and decided to set up Home Assistant OS. Got my first few sensors set up: temperature, humidity, couple led bulbs, water leak detectors, etc. I've come to the conclusion home automation may bankrupt me, but man is this scratching some nerd itches.

I'm literally just discovering how amazing the built in Windows 11 calculator app got. graphing functionality, bitwise and bit shift operations on the programmer tab! I'm blown away and sad that I didn't know about this awesomeness sooner!

I think I'm fanboying pretty hard over .NET Aspire. Just fantastic so far! I'm excited to see how far I can actually push things? and when do the pain points hit? So far, though, just a joy.

Amidst my desire to purchase Indiana Jones, I have a couple games in my steam library I'm thinking about starting instead. I just missed these over the years. It's either going to be the Mass Effect games, Fallout 76, or Cyberpunk. I'll get to you eventually Dr. Jones.

My 8 year old daughter didn't write a letter to Santa, but she did write one to Mojang! Looks like she really just wants breakfast in Minecraft. 😊😆
