this is a post on some apps that i have found useful.
scrot is a very usefull screen capture utility
In a terminal.
cd to a directory
scrot -s some.filename.jpg
then you use the mouse to define the square to grab and it is saved as some.filename.jpg
no -s and you get the entire desktop.
A useful addon awesome screenshot can capture part or all of a webpage in a browser and then take image and allow some editing in the browser. default saves as png, but you can set to save as jpg.

Speedcrunch - high precision scientific calculator. I love it. It calculates 'on the fly', you don't ever need to finish your entry with <enter> key, saves a click. It is very fast, has more digits that regular calculator and it is loaded with goodies such as formulas, constants.... If you haven't tried it yet, give it a shot.
Also, i'm moving from Manjaro to MX Linux - Debian based, but developers are keep back-porting newer apps so you almost have some kind of semi rolling distro: - stable Debian - updated apps - bunch of very useful tools (like snapshot, create your own install-abe iso from your current system with 3-4 mouse clicks, basically you have exact copy of your system that you can put on another computer...) - oh, and it does not use systemD (although it is present for compatibility)
Will be back in a half of year or so ;-)

The Unix Game is a fun, low-barrier-to-entry programming contest where players solve coding challenges by constructing "pipelines" of UNIX text processing utilities to compute the solution. Press the button below to take a quick tour around the UI:
By borders I mean the edge of the window that you need to grab in order to resize it. I've always been annoyed by the default size being almost impossible to grab. Here's a way to fix it.
Open a terminal windowenter: cd /
enter: cd usr/share/themes/Ambiance/metacity-1/
enter: sudo vi metacity-theme-1.xmlenter password "saasbook"
VI will open in the terminal. Near the top is a section with name="frame_geometry_normal"
Look for these 3 tags
<distance name="left_width" value="1" />
<distance name="right_width" value="1" />
<distance name="bottom_height" value="1" />
Change the values to 8
Save and exit the file with wq

I am building a new system. posting vids and answers to question I need to learn again know the secret handshakes buried in the many distro and ways that linux parts talk to one another and get my workstation to work as I want it too. Not like the cellphone zombie developers want in their endless quest to fix what was not ever broken.
