My Linux skills have been limited to a basic install, and getting around in the system. I've recently decided to take the O.S. more seriously and become a full time user and more of a Linux hobbyist. This is a place for me to post notes, and other helpful information. The information here is centered around Fedora and KDE but I do post about other GNU/Linux distributions. You can find useful notes, book reviews, tutorials, videos, and whatever else I think will be useful for learning this O.S.

The Bastard Child Of My Blogs May Update
Welcome May,
For the May update, all I can say is I want and need to start posting here more. This has become the bastard child of my blogs. I figured when I started using Fedora 20 full time I would have all kinds of original content to post all the time. I figured things would break, things would need to be fixed and coming up with ideas would be easy. This is not what's happened.
It's been roughly about 13 months since I started using Linux full time. In that time I've really had no serious problems to report. Everything has been running fairly smoothly for the most part. With that said, the lack of problems is part of the reason for the lack of content. As I find interesting things Linux related I post them here. No problems, nothing to report, nothing happening except me using an alternative operating system. MAJOR BORING NEWS THERE !
So, I love this blog, and have no intention of quitting it. I think I'm going to start adding youtube vids. Some from other people and some of my own. I also think I'll be doing some software reviews, and information on some of the different programs I've found useful. Finally, because most of the programs I use are running on a GNU Linux machine, I'll be adding some tutorial links from some of my other blogs on Photography and Graphic Design using Linux related software and apps.
If anyone needs any cool cloud brushes for Gimp. Check out the link in this post from my Photography blog for some great cloud brushes.
Thanks for reading. Updates coming soon this month I promise.Thanks for following, and to my Google plus peeps thanks for the love and support on G+. Anyone on Facebook I just added a Notes On Using Linux page there as well. Not much there currently but I just created it today.

A Short Break and an Update.
So I've been working on some photography projects, and I really don't know what I'm doing. For this reason I really haven't been playing around in my Linux partition. The last month I've been working in Windows, and trying to learn the basic features of my new camera. I've just gotten to the point where I want to shoot all my photos in RAW. For this reason I need to return to Linux. YaY, Linux. I just installed Darktable, and UFRaw for my post processing work. So I plan on working in my Linux partition much more.
I also uploaded all my brushes, and fonts from my Windows partition to my Google drive, and installed them in my Linux partition for Gimp. I thought about installing Dropbox or mounting my Windows partition , but decided on doing things the hard way. Yup, I'm a glutton for punishment. So, I guess I may be adding some Graphic Design Tutorials, and some notes on Open Source Photography.
I've always said the best way to start learning something, is to just jump in and start doing it. That's my plan with Linux. Read the manual, jump in, learn as I go and learn from my mistakes. I've only found a few things so far that I can't do with Linux that I can do with Windows. Netflix has proven problematic, actually that's been the only thing for me, Netflix, everything else I do in my Windows partition I can do in Linux. I guess I won't be watching as many movies, ooh well.
On a final note, I installed Windows 8 on my mothers computer, and I'm now more determined then ever to become a full time Linux user. I loved Windows7 and thought Microsoft finally came out with a really great operating system, then they came out with Windows 8 and I'm just not impressed. Working at the family business, I have to use her computer from time to time, and I must say it motivates the hell out of me to start learning Linux more. Anyway, I'll be posting again regularly, not really sure how often, but you can at least expect a few posts a month. Thanks to the few people that are following and check back soon for updates.
