These contain a sway and waybar config that I use on my Sway install on Debian 12, on my framework laptop. It also contains a README.md file for those who need help using these files and/or installing Sway.

This script uses ls to find files. Unlike using programs like 'Find' and 'locate' you don't have to remember to run updatedb, nor are you restricted by using grep, but rather it uses only programs native to most Linux installs, and has more functionality than other methods, such as being able to use up to 8 words to search on, and in multiple modes such as all of the words, any one of the words, or an exact phrase. You can also do case insensitive searches as well. It will highlight all search words, but only in the file names, not in the directories.

This file is distro specific to MicroOS. It will not work on any
other distro. It will give you the dates on the current version of the
update based on what the repositories show and what has actually been
installed on your computer, and how many days old it has become.

This script will simplify checking your ISO hash against the hash
reported from the distro's website, whether it is in a file or a
copy/paste. Note: to learn how to use the file, enter checkmatch

UPDATED!!! I fixed an issue failing to unmount a USB drive that is mounted, as well as having a launch file that will enable it to be used with launchers that don't give an option to open in a terminal. Additionally, I've added in a README.txt file that gives instructions for its use.

This is a spreadsheet that users new to Linux can use to help them evaluate particular Linux distros for their first distro to use. Also, while I am going through the reviews for new Linux Users on my channel, a person can follow along and make their own evalatuion of the distros I will be reviewing. Be sure to join in the fun with me as I review each distro!

This script file will automate the process of installing an AppImage into your applications menu system. AppImages are an application file that includes the program and all its dependencies. It can be run from your file manager by double-clicking on it (once you make the file executble).

This script file takes a list of programs,, both to be installed from the repositories, and from Flatpaks on the vast majority of Linux distrubtions. It will take the list, which are located at the top of the file, you will probably wish to edit my personal lists or just install what I use. Your decision. I tried to put the packages that one needs more up-to-date software, like on a system such as Debian-based distros, to install as a Flatpak. You can move them to the package manager, or delete them per your needs. If you break it, you can always come back here and redownload it. Hint: If you don't want flatpaks at all, best to comment out the lines by adding a '#' at the front of the line, that way you can easily re-enable it by removing the #'s.
