Well I finally finished downloading X-Plane 11 from Steam. I was able to compare this freshly downloaded version on Manjaro, with the one I’d been using on Linux Mint and learned a lesson. Based on other airports I used, I wrongly assumed that something was wrong with KDEN (Denver International Airport). If I had to …

KDE Night Color
Found out that KDE has Night Color built-in to settings. This is a feature I use on Linux Mint via an add-on called redshift. This adjusts the Night color temperature of your monitor to be easier on your eyes…automatically at night. However has more flexibility and is easier to work with out of the box. …
Thunderbird on Manjaro
Just noticed that Thunderbird says… Welcome to Daily You are using the daily version of Thunderbird, which means you get to experience the absolute newest Thunderbird – fresh out of the build system! But with great power comes great responsibility, we hope you’ll take the time to report bugs and provide feedback on your experience …
Linux Mint upgrade…fail!
Tried to install linux mint 19.3 but install hangs early on, after install third party software prompt! There are a few hits on this in google, but so far I haven’t been able to get past it. I read a few suggestions about disconnecting s second drive…for me, out of the question. Perhaps I should …

If I was better with networks I should have used some tools (perhaps wireshark) to identify where the traffic …
Backup distro…Manjaro
In my search for a backup distro, I increasingly find myself preferring to be on Manjaro more often than my primary distro…Linux Mint. I’m typing this post in Manjaro. It’s still too early for me tell if I can depend on it. In my case Linux Mint hasn’t had a update that broke it, in …
X-Plane and KDEN
I’ve whined, complained and posted about my perceived lack of X-Plane’s support…but there’s a very good chance I was wrong. The jury for me is still out. I’ve removed those posts, so I won’t look any dumber, than I already look. I did say in my last post that I hope I was wrong and …
Genealogy
Made a few updates to my genealogy program family data.
LibreOffice Writer in Manjaro
When using LibreOffice Writer in Manjaro, I notice spell checking doesn’t work. No squiggly red line under misspelled words. I remember it was a problem in the past too. I’ve never had this problem in Linux Mint. Here is what I did to fix it. Spellcheck fix (USA) for LibreOffice Writer The below 3 steps …
