Dear Canonical, Dropping Unity was The Dumbest Decision You've Ever Made

Image
Dear Canonical Ltd, I'm just gonna say this straight-up, that dropping the Unity desktop was the dumbest choice you've ever made. And here are the reasons why according to me. 1. Unity is Unity  Remember back then when Unity was introduced in Natty Narwhal (11.04) ? Back then the desktop was not as lean and as polished as how Unity in Xenial Xerus used to be. People hated the change and started their tweaks and forks here and there. But all these times going through the years, I got fond of the desktop and adore the focused workflow. Unity was the desktop where I put myself first at east, without worrying how the gtk theme crashes, looks bad, looks inconsistent, and so on. It didn't get in my way, and it's always been like that. Unity gives people the charm that this is UBUNTU, this is what's friendly, and this is what's POLISHED and PROFESSIONAL. It's as same as how Elementary OS embrace their identity with the successful Pantheon desktop interface. Going t...

Arch-Based Linux Distro: The Best, The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly

Image
 Hey guys! Akhirnnya aku kembali membuat postingan blog setelah sekian lama sibuk dengan kesibukan dan pekerjaan sehari-hari. Ditengah-tengah kesibukanku, aku juga berkali-kali mengeksplor dunia distro linux dan dalam waktu ini, aku lumayan cukup terkesima dengan pegalaman yang kudapatkan, mulai dari mencoba manjaro, arcolinux, dan bahkan sampai mencoba menginstall the one and only, Arch Linux.      Dan dari perjalananku sejauh ini, aku sudah mengumpulkan apa saja yang aku suka dari sisi baik mereka, yang aku kurang suka, dan aku paling benci dari sistem berbasis Arch Linux. Dalam perjalanan ini, aku urut mencoba dari Manjaro, Endeavour, Arcolinux, dan Arch Linux. DISCLAIMER : postingan ini berisi opini tentang Arch Linux dan distro turunannya dari sudut pandang seorang wirausaha di bidang kuliner, jadi anggap saja sebagai micro-enterprise gitu :3. So here they are: THE BEST: AUR Menurutku, Arch User Repository ini sangat membantu ( pakai sekali!) kare...

Pengalaman Menggunakan Debian GNU/Linux

Image
Hey guys! Hari ini aku mau berbagi pengalaman tentang menggunakan suatu distro linux, secara spesifik, yaitu Debian.  Yup! Secara gak langsung, kalian yang menggunakan Ubuntu, Linux Mint, dan semua turunannya pasti sudah tidak asing dengan Debian karena dia adalah fondasi dasar yang diambil Ubuntu. Ubuntu mungkin sekarang sudah menjadi linux distro yang sangat populer dan bisa dikatakan lebih hebat daripada Debian, tapi kalau tanpa Debian, Ubuntu juga tidak akan hadir. Aku disini nggak akan membahas tentang asal usul dan sejarah Debian, kalian bisa lihat dari wikipedia atau Debian Wiki. Pesan Pertamaku : Don't Expect Too Much Apalagi jika kalian menggunakan Debian stable branch (codename: Stretch). Dari pengalaman aku install Debian dengan DE XFCE, ini desktop yang aku kurang lebih dapatkan. Debian 9.6 default XFCE desktop, image courtesy by osdisc.com Coba kalian install DE XFCE4 di Ubuntu atau Linux Mint, kalian pasti akan mendapatkan GUI XFCE yang sudah ...

Tips Sebelum Pindah ke GNU/Linux dan Alasanku Mengapa

Image
Halo!  Pada postingan ini, aku ingin memberikan sebuah tips untuk kalian para pengguna komputer / laptop yang sedang mengalami dilema dengan operating system kalian yang aku asumsikan sekarang adalah Windows. Yep, Microsoft Windows. Terang-terangan aja yah aku bilangnya,karena sejujurnya aku pun juga sudah nggak suka dengan windows semenjak kemunculan windows 10, dan mengingat bahwa windows 7 akan segera mati supportnya tahun depan. Shortly, aku sudah pindah ke Linux dan macam-macam distribution (or distro, buat kalian yang sudah tidak asing) dan sudah memakai linux dalam kurun waktu 3 semester kuliah. Mungkin nih, kalian ada yang bermasalah dengan malware atau sistem semakin berat dan sebagainya, tepat sekali jika kalian datang ke postingan ini. You’re not lost yet :D Oke, aku mulai tipsnya ya! Sebelum pindah ke Linux (distro), carilah tujuanmu!  Poin ini paling dasar dan paling penting karena ini akan menjadi fondasi paling kuat kalian mengapa...

Review Produk Glutamen : Part 2 "Hasil Pemakaian"

Image
Halo teman-teman! Sudah lama sekali saya ga sempat update blog lagi karena emang sudah sibuk, di kala jaman SMK juga banyak ujian dan try out jadi nggak sempat megang blog sama sekali dan sebenarnya mau kasih update. Langsung aja ya ke inti dari post ini. Sebenarnya, jujur aja sih ini, aku ngga begitu merasain perubahannya ke kulit aku. Ini adalah foto aku dulu pada saat setelah bikin postingan review yang pertama, sama yang kanan itu sekarang (agak gendutan, banyak kerja = banyak makan >3<) Emang wajahku warnanya lebih terang dari sebelumnya (kurang lebih naik 1 tone) tapi sebenarnya ini pun juga karena tambahan produk-produk moisturizer wajah seperti p*nds men, dan g4rnier men jg. Bahkan sekarang aku malah cuma pakai natrep aloe vera gel yang aku campur sama sedikit g4rnier men acno fight karena lagi kumat beruntusan klo sering kerja outdoor.. Admin dulu mengutip ke aku kalau penggunaan glutamen ini harus disiplin juga dgn pake jaket klo keluar biar ga kepanasan dan m...

Moving to Debian Linux

Image
My vanilla Debian 9.0 (Stretch) Gnome Desktop Hey guys! Actually, this was not my first time moving to Linux, because I had used one few times during middle January to April 2015, and 2 years before it. Today, I had installed my Debian 9.0 over Linux Mint 18.1 (Serena) On June 2013, my laptop was broken, and the sad thing was because it was a high end laptop that my mum had bought 4 years before. So, as a break, we bought a low-end old pc one for like 1 million rupiah and the specs weren't that good either. It couldn't even run windows xp well, so that's why I decided to turn the way out. Of course I was frantic because school tasks are over the mountain, but then I found a way out. I browsed the web by my first android phone, then found out about linux. At first I tried this linux called "Puppy Linux" but then, everything did not go well for me. I also tried Ubuntu, but it was a miserable fail because it was quite resource-heavy. However, I was feeling...

Review Produk Glutamen : Part 1, "Packaging, dan First Impression"

Image
Halo guys! Back to posting setelah lama sekali nggak menyentuh blog dikarenakan sibuk dengan banyak urusan. But it's oke lah, karena kali ini aku mau review tentang produk gluta yang aku nggak sengaja pernah di rekomendasi orang dari instagram. Background Penyebab aku akhirnya mencoba produk ini karena aku merasa kulitku benar-benar gelap dan wajahku kusam. (sering manas sih), ada bekas jerawat dan luka di kulit lengan. Pakai sabun wajah pun harus cocok-cocokan, jadi mungkin kalau harus coba pakai suplemen nggak ada salahnya juga sih. So, setelah aku berdiskusi sama adminnya, admin Yudi yang saat itu aku tanyain (sebenarnya ada banyak, tapi berhubung aku dapat contactnya mas Yudi) (Gak usah digelapin ya, kesannya kok kayak penyelundup aja kalau disamarin namanya hehehe) Proses Pemesanan Prosesnya simple dan gak ribet. Aku waktu itu pesan hari Sabtu tanggal 4 dan kebetulan sudah kelewat dari jam 3 jadi jne tutup. Tapi orangnya janji akan kirim langsung hari Senin. Ok. Aku tr...

The Story of A Broken Boy (1)

"Life is just so unfair to him" But now, what can he do about it?  He was a guy who used to fill his day with joy and happiness, not just to him but also to the others.  He was like a sun, the one who were always shine and everyone loves the charm and the warmth of his love.  But..  Everything always had the price to pay. Even though he used to be the boy who brings warmth and peace, nevertheless, people never knew the pain he had. People just couldn't understand.  His pretty eyes, shed the most tears.  His big smile, took a lot of bravery. His love, caused a big pain.  Just like a flower, people would pick him up if he were pretty. If he wasn't, well you know the answer, right? Spending his time sharing love and peace, we still can't deny a fact that he's still the loneliest creature ever lived.  He smiled to every faces, that come and leave.  Staying, standing still, like a tree.  ...

Words That I Can Describe At This Moment

Image
Hey guys. I just wanted to update a 'little' thing, that I might say, it won't be matter to all of you. But this is my blog anyway, I can update and share whatever things I'd like to share. It's just about what I felt for today. Sometimes I wonder if I have this lonely paralysis or something, but... It just bothers me so much when my mind synchronizes my feeling. It's like the quickest way to die by stress. It's so classic, isn't it? By this morning, I received a text from my mum saying  "Hey Kenn, I'm in Surabaya now, and I'll be on Atum Market. If you're looking for me, call Mr.Rahno's number, my battery almost died"  Well, Mr. Rahno is my mum's driver, and he took mum to Surabaya. Usually, my mum went to Surabaya to buy some salon goods to to restock her salon. There is a reason why I hated Pasar Atum, and I think it's quiet personal.  Pasar Atum (Atum Market) Is usually the place where I'...

Sick, Upcoming Events and Plans

Image
Hey guys, hey ho! Yet, another day, I never expected that I would be ill today, and it was really bad. Last night, my throat was really sore but I still could speak well and had a rehearsal about my speech for tomorrow *which was today* Science class. But the bad thing is, when Science class came, I couldn't speak at all and my voice sounded like a strangled horse :(  So I decided to get a school permit to go home, but yeah unlucky me, the school's counseling teacher didn't allow me to go back home (but when my girl friend asked the same permit, but due to different reason to visit her future college, she was allowed, man!) Gosh, it's the same ill again since I was a kid. I had a throat infection again :( I skipped school today, in case that I needed some time to rest. My Special Dishes class will be having an event in the late October (or probably to early November) and the event is a javanese wedding. My class has separated the teams into 2 options, whi...

Cake Decoration Sketch

Image
Hey guys! So yesterday, I drew a birthday cake sketch for Cake Decoration class. And this is what I have so far. It's mostly decorated by buttercream, I choose buttercream because I like to use it on my cake. What I need to learn more is how to make those flowers (other than roses) and the leaves. For the color, I'd like to have it with a soft color scheme combination, which I think it will be super good!
