Life with Chakra

I know I've been ignoring this blog for a while but I've had good reason...finishing uni and now I have finished I can write more of my thoughts and research into my new project.

Part of this centres around having a rolling release linux distro on my PC and of those that I have looked at Chakra still seems the best BUT theres issues.

Recently there seems to be problems in various areas. The first was that I have a feeling the KDE or at least something was going wrong. sound didn't work right, if it worked at all. Things I should have been able to do with files management and Amarok as well others just didn't so I reinstalled my system keeping the /home partition. I have it up and working again but not as it should. I cann't install stuff as I did before. And the thing that really gets me is not being able to upgrade.

I am going to wait for the next release with systemd and other new stuff and start again. I will try and keep the home partition but if I have to redo that then I have everything backed up.


Oh, the new new project?

It centres around one main computer where I do everything but the machine is a slave to me and is more to keep my life simple and save me time. Something that it doesn't at the moment. I want something that is in tune with me and something that is more like you see in Sci-Fi. Not something that is constantly going wrong or is full of problems. It also involves a kindle and my android phone.
