As you might have noticed, I have been working on plenty of projects lately. First the Desktop framework comparison, followed by experimenting with Qt and Rust and then the switch back to Flutter, including a bunch of applications that I was missing for Linux and macOS in the...
The Qt path As mentioned in the previous post, I wanted to give Qt a try to see if it handles the HTML problem better, than Flutter. It took quite some effort to reach the UI polish that the Flutter version had but I eventually got there. Almost at least 😃. The result was a...
As mentioned in my last blog post, I’m currently experimenting with different tech stacks on the desktop. That last post compared Swift + Rust, KMP + Rust and Flutter + Rust running on a Mac. The result of this experiment was that the Flutter + Rust combination did quite a...
Background As mentioned in the previous post, I have been working on a process explorer for macOS (Yggdrasil). I wanted to know how Swift + Rust compares to other frameworks, especially cross platform frameworks, so I decided to build variants of the process explorer in...

You know, I’m a hardware geek and perfectionist. This is a very bad combination. This already led me into buying plenty of Android phones because there was always something that annoyed me and I knew there was something out there that would do a better job in this particular...
Maybe you remember my last post about my journey from a MacBook to a ThinkPad running Fedora …well, it’s over 😀 I really wanted this to work. I have put a crazy amount of effort into configuring my new beloved system exactly the way I wanted it. I was proud to have this...
My Lenovo ThinkPad T14s story got an interesting twist that I never experienced before that led to me owning a Lenovo ThinkPad T14 now. The original plan I decided to setup a Windows partition on my ThinkPad in order to make use of my eGPU and play some games. Mainly...
I was using a MacBook as main device at home since ~2019 and at work since ~2022. For me MacBooks are a near perfect combination of robustness, ease of use and flexibility. With the Apple Silicon transition Apple added performance, no fan noise and battery life to that...
