When I'm on my day job's Windows 11 laptop (Thinkpad T14 with AMD Ryzen Pro 5), I run gVim with this very nice font, Cascadia Mono.

Just a trio of cats lying around. Stripey (mom), Elton and Plato (daughters).

Here are some photos of the Orange Crush 12 guitar amplifier that I found on the street a week or so ago.

It has a surprisingly good sound. You can get a very good jazz tone without a lot of effort. The controls are very responsive.

For now I put the cover on my Roland Cube 60 and am using this amp instead. Today I found an AC power cord for it on the street (with a broken TV that I didn't take).

I found an Orange 12 guitar amplifier on the street. It is rated at 12 watts, solid state, and has a 6-inch speaker.

They retail for $120.

I did have to add a standard power cord. It sounds pretty good. I might set the 1980s Roland Cube 60 (orange in color!) aside for a while.

It's easy to get a nice, clean tone, which is what I look for.

(Photo is generic, but it looks the same)

Things I'm noticing so far:

* There is a fairly critical icon that is missing. You can see where it is supposed to appear in this screen shot of the upper left portion of the terminal window

* The Deja Dup Flatpak works! In Fedora Kinoite, there is nothing I could do to get the backup utility to "find" my USB-connected backup drive. I'm doing a backup right now.

I just made an Erlang GUI "Hello World" in a Fedora 41 Toolbox.

$ toolbox create erlang

$ toolbox enter erlang

$ sudo dnf install erlang

$ erl -smp

1> wx:new().
{wx_ref,0,wx,[]}

2> M = wxMessageDialog:new(wx:null(), "Hello World").
{wx_ref,35,wxMessageDialog,[]}

3> wxMessageDialog:showModal(M).

* My GTK3-era apps did NOT follow the dark theme out of the box. Silverblue doesn't include GNOME Tweaks, and it is not available as a Flatpak. In its place, I installed the Refine Flatpak to switch from the Breeze theme to Adiwaita Dark for those apps.

Maybe this Flatpak could help theme the apps correctly in Fedora Kinoite.

I suspect that a bug somewhere between Kinoite and Syncthing was making empty folders appear in their former locations after I moved the non-empty folders to new locations. Let's see if this persists in Silverblue.
@passthejoe Doesn't Dconf Editor have more functionality than Refine? I appreciate the tip, much nicer interface for theme switching! Also, I just discovered Pika Backup which is working very well (on Silverblue with USB and internal drives), based on Borg.

@kylebronsdon I just discovered Refine today while searching GNOME Software for GNOME Tweaks. I'm sure Dconf Editor does more.

I am not too happy with Deja Dup -- I still do an rsync backup because it's faster and more reliable. I should give Pika a try

I fixed my icon issue by resetting the icon theme (which must have been screwed up by my time in Kinoite):

The fix is running:

$ gsettings reset org.gnome.desktop.interface icon-theme

Missing icons fedora silverblue

so, as you can see in the screenshots there are some missing icons in my installation of Fedora Silverblue 39. Only thing I’ve layered are the Nvidia drivers, but the issue was already present. How can I fix it? Also, is possible to change the icons in files? this are enormous an horrible!
