Virtualization
How to install Windows 11 as VirtualBox guest in openSUSE Tumbelweed host. Should work for other hosts too.
Linux
IceWM was an accidental discovery made during my quest for a minimal openSUSE system. I replaced KDE Plasma 5 with it. I am totally satisfied.
Linux
NoMachine is a very good remote desktop solution for Linux. It installs fine on openSUSE Leap while on openSUSE Tumbleweed the necessary systemd service, nxserver.service, does not get installed. After manually installing nxserver.service, all is good.

KDE Plasma's official File Manager, Dolphin, has a bug which forced me off of openSUSE Leap 15.2. I installed openSUSE Tumbleweed in the hope that the newer versions of KDE Plasma might have gotten rid of the bug. I was shocked when I saw the dangerous bug eerily smile at me in openSUSE Tumbleweed.
FreeBSD
The steps I followed to properly set up KDE Plasma 5 on FreeBSD in VirtuaBox guest on an openSUSE Leap 15.1 host.
Linux
Fedora 32 as a VirtualBox guest is stuck at 800x600 resolution. Installation of VirtualBox Guest Additions version 6.0.18 impossible due to compilation errors. Got hold of VirtualBox Guest Additions version 6.1.8 and it got installed. However, it works only partly.
Linux
I tried to connect two pretty old laptops running openSUSE Leap 15.1 with KDE Plasma 5 to create a Local Area Network (LAN). This is a summary of my struggles.
Linux
A VirtualBox Guest Additions bug defined in the Ticket #19496 caused my freshly installed openSUSE Tumbleweed to have resolution stuck at 800x600. This blog post is about my experiments and observations.
FreeBSD
I installed FreeBSD 11.1 a couple of days ago on my decade-old Dell XPS M1330 with Intel Core 2 Duo T8100 processor and 4 GB RAM. I had a terrible time as I ended up repeating the installation routine three times. Or was it four? The installation was trouble-free,
Content Management System
I wanted to test-ride Ghost Desktop. They have packages for Mac, Windows, Linux and Android. Linux package is what I interested in, but they only had one for Ubuntu - deb package. I currently use Fedora 28 on my workstation and laptop. Hence, I needed an rpm package which does
