Linux — the best operating system
There are some things I didn't understand right away. For example, that an operating system shouldn't try to be your boss. It should be a tool. You buy a computer for yourself, not the other way around. You buy the hardware, install the system, and you should be able to do practically anything with that machine that you are technically capable of doing. And that's exactly why Linux is the best operating system for me. Not because it's the prettiest.…
Neovim became my main one
Why Neovim Became My Primary Editor Over the past twenty years, I have worked with almost everything: Vim, VSCode, JetBrains IDE, Sublime Text, Atom, Emacs. And the more projects, services, containers, remote servers, and terminals I manage, the more I appreciate simple things. Neovim turned out to be exactly that kind of thing. Speed When you live in the terminal for most of the day, you start noticing even tiny interface delays. Neovim launches almost instantaneously. It doesn't matter whether…
CachyOS + Niri on ThinkPad
My Linux Setup in 2026: CachyOS + Niri Over the past few years, I have tried a huge number of distributions, window managers, and desktop combinations. Debian, Ubuntu, Arch, i3, Sway, KDE, X11—I went through all of them multiple times. At some point, I realized that an operating system should stop being a standalone hobby. A computer should work, not constantly demand repairs after every system update. As a result, my current setup looks like this: Laptop: ThinkPad X1 Carbon…
Video Editing in Linux Console
Linux is considered the best platform for working with video. Whole video and audio processing centers are built on the Linux OS. A lot of professional video studios work with Linux.

The list of famous movies created using the Linux OS can go on endlessly, but today we will talk about something else, namely how Linux can help in processing home video. For this, there is…

Slackware - Control
When people ask me why I used Slackware back in the day, I usually answer simply: because I needed an operating system, not a babysitter. The year is 2008. The internet has stopped being a toy for geeks, Linux is becoming fashionable, Ubuntu is being distributed for free via postal mail, and crowds of yesterday's Windows users are starting to install fancy themes and Compiz so windows burn with flames and rotate as a 3D cube. That was precisely when…
