in ♥️ with linux

This is the second month of my one-year challenge: No distrohopping ... only use Debian stable.

That's why this post, like the next 10, is more of a diary and reflection on the last month with Debian.

Even in the second month, I can only say that I am very happy. I consider the fact that I am not necessarily using the latest software to be a huge advantage.

Everything works and I can continue to focus on optimizing workflows. Examples include syncing KeepassXC / KeepassDX to a smartphone via gsconnect / kdeconnect.

GNOME is increasingly becoming my favorite desktop, and floating suits me better than tiling.

But I've also realized that dark mode isn't for me. I felt the same way with macOS. Only the editor and terminal are dark.

I also like the Papirus icon set more than Adwaita. Basically, Adwaita isn't really an icon set, since many apps come with their own icons. Some are good, some aren't to my taste. Papirus provides consistency.

Unfortunately, not all apps are included in Papirus: Tuba and Newsflash are still missing (I built something myself for Tuba, let's see if Newsflash is still missing).

What I'm really getting more and more excited about is dotdrop. It now syncs not only my dotfiles, but also dconf settings, i.e. my Gnome settings between my PC and laptop. Here, too, everything is packaged in a Bash script, so the operator only has to select export or import.
