HOW TO: Make GNOME Look Like macOS Big Sur

making GNOME look like macOS Big Sur

 

A few days ago I wrote a tutorial on how to dualboot macOS and Linux on a Mac. I expected a bunch of questions that I couldn’t possible answer. Instead, I received a few questions on how did I customized GNOME to look like macOS.

Even if you don’t need such a tool on your system, you still might find them useful as, at least, two of them can create a pretty nice abstract wallpaper for your devices.

HOW TO: Easily Install Arch Linux Using EZarch Install Script

Probably the easiest way to install Arch Linux on your computer.

Bashtop: An Htop Alternative Written in Bash

An Htop Alternative Written in Bash

Here’s a quick post about a cool Linux program ( macOS support coming soon ) called bashtop. It’s a resource monitor that shows usage and stats for processor, memory, disks, network and processes, an alternative to Htop, that’s writte in bash.

The great thing about bashtop being written in bash is that it comes with no real dependencies for running the program and it’s very easy to install. If you’re on Arch and derivates you can install it from the community repo or AUR. If you’re on Debian/Ubuntu and derivates there’s a .deb you can use. Or you can clone repository and just install it that way.

Features:.

  • Fast and responsive UI with UP, DOWN keys process selection.
  • Function for showing detailed stats for selected process.
  • Ability to filter processes.
  • Easy switching between sorting options.
  • Send SIGTERM, SIGKILL, SIGINT to selected process.
  • UI menu for changing all config file options.
  • Auto scaling graph for network usage.
  • Shows message in menu if new version is available
  • Themes
