WORKSHOP / SYSTEMS, TOOLS & INTERFACES

Workshop.

Window managers, filesystems, virtual machines, local models—and the bits of software that tie them together.

TOPIC RELATIONSHIPS

Systems are connected.

Links represent technical relationships or owner-listed interests. This is a subject map, not a live machine inventory.

HOW A DESKTOP GETS TO THE SCREEN

Configuration has layers.

Firmware, kernel, session, compositor, shell and applications solve different problems. Separating them makes both customization and troubleshooting easier.

FIELD NOTES / 08 TOPICS

Pick a thread.

These notes move from boot and display layers to filesystems, virtual machines, and model tooling. Vesprr is clearly marked as an unbuilt concept.

01
LINUX / WAYLAND / COMPOSITOR / DESKTOP

Wayland changes where the desktop draws its boundaries

A practical look at the compositor-centered model and what it means for input, windows, and desktop customization.

READ NOTE ↗
02
LINUX / TILING / HYPRLAND / SWAY / INTERFACE

What a tiling window manager makes visible

Tiling is a layout policy that exposes window geometry as a system to reason about, not a productivity guarantee.

03
LINUX / DESKTOP / BOOT / WAYLAND

A Linux desktop is a stack of choices

Follow the chain from firmware and bootloader through compositor, shell, and applications.

READ NOTE ↗
04
LINUX / BTRFS / FILESYSTEMS / RECOVERY

Btrfs snapshots are handy. Backups still matter.

Subvolumes and copy-on-write snapshots make rollback useful; a second copy handles disk loss.

READ NOTE ↗
05
LINUX / VIRTUALIZATION / QEMU / KVM

QEMU and KVM: two layers, one useful machine

How QEMU’s virtual hardware and Linux’s KVM interface work together to run a guest.

READ NOTE ↗
06
LOCAL-AI / OLLAMA / SOFTWARE / PRIVACY

Running a local model still takes some plumbing

Ollama, model settings, machine limits, tool access, and the practical boundaries of local inference.

READ NOTE ↗
07
AUTOMOTIVE / INTERFACE-DESIGN / ACCESSIBILITY

A car screen has a very short attention budget

Glance time, road light, physical controls, and Android Auto’s template rules shape automotive interfaces.

VESPRR / AUTOMOTIVE / INTERFACE-DESIGN / CONCEPT

Vesprr: an automotive interface concept

A proposed Android Auto direction for navigation, music, and a retro-modern night interface.
