How to Make Fedora Look Like Ubuntu

Ubuntu is known for its theming and Unity-esque appearance. Fedora's theme has improved over the years, but I still largely prefer the appearance of Ubuntu. It has a certain Mac like modern look to it and the Ubuntu font is among the best available.

To make Fedora look like Ubuntu, you can follow these steps:

Open a terminal and run:
sudo dnf install gnome-shell-yaru

Enable the Yaru theme in GnomeTweaks. Install Tweaks first if needed.
sudo dnf install gnome-tweaks

Go to the "Appearance" tab and select the Yaru theme for the Shell, Icons, and Cursor.

Install Gogh for Terminal Theme

Install Gogh from GitHub:
sh git clone https://github.com/Gogh-Co/Gogh.git cd Gogh ./install.sh

Select the "Clone of Ubuntu" profile for your terminal:
gogh clone ubuntu

Apply the theme:
gogh apply ubuntu

Install Ubuntu Fonts:

Download the Ubuntu font family from Google Fonts.

Copy the font files to the fonts directory:
sudo cp -r ~/Downloads/ubuntu-font-family-*.ttf /usr/share/fonts/ sudo fc-cache -f -v

Use Gnome Tweaks to change the default fonts. Go to the "Fonts" tab and set the Interface, Document, and Titlebar fonts to Ubuntu.

Optional: Install Extensions:

You can install extensions like "Dash to Panel" and "Arc Menu" to further customize the look and feel of your desktop.

Comparing Oil Prices

I'm a sucker for spreadsheets. Its so convenient to lay out the data, compare, and make an informed decision. Okay. I probably get carried away with it. Did I really need to make one to compare oil prices? Um no. But I didn't anyway. My Grand Oil Price Comparison Spreadsheet This comparison includes motor oil, gear oil, and transmission fluid prices I compiled from Amazon, Autozone, Meijer, Menards, Tractor Supply, and Walmart. These prices are generally for the West Central Indiana market so they may vary. As I have time, I will add other local retailers (Advance Auto, Napa, and O'Reilly). This is mostly centered around my fleet of Fords. In our household, we're driving a 1998 F-150 XLT 4.6L 4x4, 2004 Expedition XLT 4.6L 4x4, and a 2010 Expedition EL Eddie Bauer 5.4L 4x4. I never meant to be a Ford fanboy but its pretty convenient keeping all the same fluids and filters around. Some oils are marked specifically as ...

Avoiding Vendor Lock In

Black Friday (read: Month) brought about all kinds of ridiculously cheap MacBook deals. These were the Arm Apple Silicon models with the formidable M1 and M2 chips. $600 for the M1 at Walmart was tempting. So very tempting. Let's back up. I'm a long time Android user. After Palm's failed attempt to enter a renewed smartphone market, I switched to a Moto Droid 2 Global (Walmart still sells a dummy version for unknown reasons). Looking back, that phone was terrible yet it started a nearly 15 year stretch of Android phones. I had one brief encounter with iPhone. My ex-wife was a big fan while I stayed on Android. I ended up with an iPhone 7 in rose gold. What a color. I gave Apple a real shot. I swapped the SIM from the OG Pixel Really Blue into the iPhone 7 for a month. A very long month. There were a few things I enjoyed on it. Apple had more apps at the time. Most ap...

Drolet HT-2000 Extra Large Wood Stove

Drolet HT-2000 Since our old Blaze King bit the dust, we replaced it with the Drolet HT-2000. It was a special order from Menards for $1099. Wait and watch carefully, you can grab it with the 11% rebate. Its free shipping to the store. Otherwise, you're looking at a couple hundred in shipping fees to your home. I also ordered the blower for $100. Drolet will send a 25% off coupon after registering the warranty so it might be worthwhile waiting to order the blower.
