(Some) posts from 2012

My first blogging year (or actually half year since I started in the second half of 2012): I'm writing about the Linux distribution experiment that I had in mind and evaluate available software to find good light-weight components to pick for the distro.

Linux GUI toolkits

This post deals with 7 Linux toolkits: Qt4, GTK+3, GTK+2, OpenMotif, GNUstep, FOX and FLTK, comparing their weight

An extraordinary toolkit example!

This post is about a graphical distribution of an unexpected operating system (can you guess which?) thanks to ports of Nano-X and FLTK!

Toolkits - a very high-level introduction

This post discusses some very basic background you should have if you're completely new to toolkits and not very familiar with how operating systems work

Switching to... Arch Linux!

Always compiling everything with Gentoo got too involved, so I switched to Arch instead

Rolling Release trouble

Disadvantage of Rolling Release: Things can at times be broken

Eerie's first 'e': "elementary"!

Thinking about how a good desktop environment should be organized
