The Cookies Craze (and how to Keep Your Cool)

Only a few years ago, I probably would have started such an article with, “I guess we don’t have to go into great detail as to what cookies are used for and how they work”. Well, apparently, these days are over. Still, I won’t go into great detail here as regards the use and inner works of cookies. It would be a boring, utterly useless venture. Too many words have been made about them already, and none of those hit home.

Kiss Me, I’m Irish

Zorin OS is neither the first (that would be Linux Mint, for all I know) nor the latest (that would be Solus at the time of writing) operating system hailing from the Emerald Isle, but it certainly is one of the most interesting distros I have tested in quite a while.

Linux, Come Play with Me

Is Windows the ultimate — perhaps only — digital vehicle that carries one safely through an afternoon of decent, playful distraction? Or is that yet another popular myth? And if so, would I even have what it takes to debunk this legend?

Windows 11, Part 5: Are There Better Options?

I felt bad after I had written my review of Windows 11. So much so, that I refused to publish it until I would have found at least one tenable alternative for the precious reader to try.

Windows 11, Part 4: Conclusion (and Random Thoughts)

That this review took much longer already than I would have ever expected, does, in a way, speak in favour of Windows. However, for all intents, constructions, and purposes, I still find it difficult to see how anyone, who has ever ventured outside this ecosystem, would want to use it frequently, or even “convert” to Windows (that is, switching to this ecosystem entirely, abandoning all else). I for one wouldn’t — at least not for the time being.
