Linux

info@ozbem.com (ebeem) — Sat, 20 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

GNU/Linux is often viewed as a single operating system, but it is actually a modular collection of interchangeable layers and components working in harmony. To truly grasp how a GNU/Linux system operates, it is best to explore it chronologically from the exact moment you press the power button to the second you open your web browser. This series breaks down the core software components of your computer, detailing the available options, customizations, and tweaks at your disposal. By the end of these guides, you will have a solid understanding of the GNU/Linux desktop stack, the complete boot workflow, and how to tailor the operating system entirely to your liking.

Emacs

info@ozbem.com (ebeem) — Fri, 19 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Traditional text editors (like Vim, Nano, or VS Code) are designed specifically to edit text files. They typically operate by providing a fixed set of features and extensions that allow you to write code or modify configuration files efficiently.

Emacs is an advanced, fully extensible text editor and computing environment. While traditional systems tightly constrain you to their predefined interfaces and workflows, Emacs embraces a completely mutable, programmable philosophy.

Emacs uses a single unified programming language (Emacs Lisp) to declare and manage everything in the editor, from basic cursor movements to entire user interfaces like email clients, file managers, and task organizers.

Guix

info@ozbem.com (ebeem) — Fri, 19 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Traditional package managers (like APT or Pacman) manage how software is installed, updated, and removed on Linux operating systems. They typically operate by mutating the global system state, replacing older files with newer ones in standard system directories.

Guix is an advanced, purely functional package manager and complete Linux distribution. Traditional systems tightly tie software installations to a single global environment which often leads to dependency conflicts and broken updates. Guix embraces an immutable, declarative philosophy.

Guix uses a single unified programming language (Guile Scheme) to declare and manage everything in the system from individual user packages to the entire operating system state.

Guile Swayer

I am an Emacs user and previously used StumpWM, an X11 window manager written in Common Lisp. I believe window managers should be scriptable because the level of workflow customization required by users often exceeds what can be achieved with simple configuration parameters (see my workflow below for a clearer understanding of why this is the case). Unfortunately, Sway/i3 lacks a straightforward programmable interface for customization. This project provides complete control over Sway/i3 using Guile!

Why Sway?

I had to migrate to Wayland at some point. Being a big fan of StumpWM, I tried to replicate a similar environment in one of the Wayland window managers. I made some progress with hyprland using a set of Guile bindings I developed called hypripc, but I found that Hyprland isn't as stable as Sway.

River

info@ozbem.com (ebeem) — Sun, 29 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Wayland is a modern, secure display server protocol for Linux and Unix-like operating systems. It is a replacement for the older X11 system and it manages how applications render graphics and windows to your screen. River is probably the only Wayland non-monolithic compositor. While popular compositors like Sway or Hyprland tightly integrate the window manager and the compositor into a single, inseparable executable, River embraces a modular philosophy.

At its core, River acts as the foundation, handling the complexities of rendering and input. However, it delegates the actual layout and behavior of windows to external processes (window managers). This is made possible through the river-window-management-v1 protocol, which allows the compositor to communicate with independent window managers.

Why You’ll Love Spooky Night
#

Each session offers a fresh and unpredictable experience. With a diverse array of roles and limitless strategic possibilities, no two games are alike. Forge alliances, sow seeds of doubt, and immerse yourself in the thrill of deception.

Best of all, Spooky Night is entirely free to play! Earn rewards after every match and unlock a plethora of character customizations. Opting to purchase the game accelerates your access to skins and expands your inventory.

Note: As the game is in its early stages, the player base is limited. For the best experience, gather a group of at least 8 friends to join a lobby (minimum 4 players required). Casual matchmaking necessitates 10 players.

Stay vigilant, trust sparingly, and may you survive the Spooky Night.
