Typing in Bengali on a lightweight Wayland compositor like Labwc can be remarkably smooth once your input method framework is dialed in. Combining Fedora Linux with fcitx5 and the m17n engine (wx layout) provides a reliable, low-overhead environment for native script input. Prerequisites & Package Installation Open your terminal and install the required input method engines and configuration tools using DNF: sudo dnf install fcitx5 fcitx5-configtool fcitx5-m17n m17n-db m17n-conv Environment Variables Configuration Wayland clients require specific environment variables so they know to route keyboard input through Fcitx5. Add these lines to your shell profile (such as ~/.bashrc or ~/.profile): export GTK_IM_MODULE=fcitx export QT_IM_MODULE=fcitx export XMODIFIERS=@im=fcitx Labwc Autostart Integration To ensure Fcitx5 launches automatically every time you log into your Labwc session, configure your autostart file. Open or create your Labwc autostart configuration: nano ~/.config/labwc...

    Lithium-ion batteries are sensitive to extremes of charge and discharge. To maximize their lifespan, experts generally recommend avoiding a full 100% charge and keeping the discharge level above 20%.  While most Linux desktop environments provide a notification for a predefined low battery threshold, they typically lack an alert for full or high charge levels.  I wanted a system that notifies me when the charge exceeds 90% and when it drops below 25%.  I've written a script to achieve this.

I’ve been using a Pagaria R-917 manual tuning radio for quite some time, but recently I started looking for something with digital tuning and multi-band support . While browsing Amazon, I stumbled upon the Zorbes HRD-310 pocket radio and decided to give it a try. Right out of the box, it felt like a neat little upgrade. Despite its compact size, it offers pretty solid frequency coverage : FM: 63–108 MHz MW (AM): 520–1710 kHz SW: around 5.9–21.85 MHz (SW1–7) Power options are flexible too — you can run it on two AA batteries or plug in 5V DC through the barrel jack. The LCD screen shows all the important info, and you can tune stations either with the buttons or the side tuning wheel , which feels quite handy. The HRD-310 also packs some nice extra features: auto tuning , clock and alarm functions , station memory , and a 3.5 mm headphone jack for private listening. When it comes to performance, I was pleasantly surprised. The FM and shortwave reception are both q...

Zebronics Zeb USB150WF1 WiFi USB Mini Adapter     Finding the right driver for a generic USB WiFi adapter(Zebronics Zeb USB150WF1 WiFi USB Mini Adapter) can be a real headache, especially when the included drivers are outdated and no longer work with modern Linux distributions. But don't worry, I recently went through this and found a solution that works! This guide will walk you through the steps to get your adapter up and running. Step 1: Identify Your WiFi Adapter's Chipset The first thing we need to do is figure out exactly what chipset our adapter is using. We can do this with the lsusb command, which lists all USB devices connected to your system.   lsusb The output will look something like this: Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub Bus 001 Device 003: ID 062a:4101 MosArt Semiconductor Corp.

Lately, I've been on a mission to reduce my screen time. It's so easy to get sucked into the endless scroll, even when all I really want is to listen to some music or a podcast. That's why I decided to go old-school and invest in a dedicated media player. My primary goal? A device purely for listening to music, podcasts, and my favorite radio show recordings, free from the distractions of notifications and social media feeds. I figured this would be a pretty straightforward search. My mind immediately went to the classic brands – Sony, Philips, Transcend. Surely they'd have a range of MP3 players still on the market, right? Well, much to my surprise, it seems the dedicated MP3 player, at least from these "OG" brands, has largely vanished! A quick online search confirmed my fears; their offerings have either been discontinued or are incredibly difficult to find new. Then I ventured into the used marketplaces. Facebook Marketplace,...

It's a drag when an older laptop's slow HDD grinds your workflow to a halt, right? My Lenovo ThinkPad was definitely in that boat. I was itching for the speed of an SSD without sacrificing the data on my original HDD. Luckily, my research uncovered a neat trick: the WWAN slot, usually for a 4G LTE module, can actually double as a SATA SSD slot on this model. So, I snagged an M.2 2242 SATA SSD, popped it in, and boom – it worked like a charm! Now, I've got my blazing-fast Fedora install on the SSD and my trusty Ubuntu setup still accessible on the original HDD. This dual-boot combo is working out perfectly!
