Tweaking desktop mode on the Steam Deck

As the Deck is mainly marketed as a portable gaming device, there are a few kinks with the desktop experience. In this living blog post I'm collecting the notes, scripts, and steps I've went through to replicate my existing workflows on the Deck Desktop.

SteamOS is the first immutable distro I'm using, which makes things a bit more challenging, after using Fedora - non-GNOME spins - for more than 14 years where I've become accustomed to the distribution packages, and patched up the system to what I wanted by sudo viming across the filesystem.

Two lines of shell script in 4 hours of custom Ansible module development

In the last couple of days I've typed away at some Ansible automation, and one specific group of tasks I dealt with was the creation of a target symlink and parent directories. I wasn't able to do this in one go, and thus arrived at the following result:

- name: "absolute home {{ config_path }}"
  set_fact:
    absolute_home_config_path: "{{ user_home_dir + '/.' + config_path }}"

- name: "{{ absolute_home_config_path|dirname }} present"

CentOS 8 Stream on your favorite cloud provider

Q2 is closing in for the first release of [Rocky Linux][1], but until that rolls around I think it might be a good time to give CentOS Stream a try.

While I'm probably one of those users who will jump ship once Rocky Linux hits the shelves, so to speak, 2021 might not necessarily be the moment I make the switch. I'm not going to rant about RedHat's current track record; I will say that I somehow managed to trip on a couple of differences between RedHat 8 and CentOS 8. Which should even exist in the first place. Hopefully, the same issues aren't going to resurface with Rocky Linux. With the amount of Ansible roles I depend on daily, I'll wait things out a bit to stabilize first.

vim + GNU Guile development environment

This document was based on my local [GNU Guile][1]-3.0.5 setup. I'm not sure if it works as is with an older version of GNU Guile.

Because of a [dependency in Fedora][2] I had to compile GNU Guile from source release. As such, in your local setup the paths will differ. This is only relevant when defining the GUILE shell variable, and referencing the tags file in the vimrc.

Note that when building GNU Guile from source be sure that you have the readline-devel (or distro equivalent package) installed. That way the ./configure step will pick that up, and the ice-9 readline module will be usable.

Using Vimwiki like a standard desktop application

I've started using [Vimwiki][0] recently, mostly for note keeping, and this post is about how I integrated it into my workflow.

The main feature I use from Vimwiki is the Diary. And the way I've used past note taking applications were always in short bursts.

  1. Have an idea
  2. Launch the note-taking application
  3. Type in note
  4. Quit application.
