The Lonely Linuxer Log #14 — Confession of an AI-Powered Penguin 🐧

 Hey everyone, it’s your friendly neighborhood Linuxer again.


Okay… I’ve got a confession to make.

Recently, I’ve been getting some help writing my blogs — from AI.

Yup. The “lonely Linuxer” isn’t completely alone anymore. 😅


Before you imagine some robot typing while I sip coffee, don’t worry — it’s still me behind the keyboard. I just use AI as a writing buddy to turn my scattered ideas into actual words that make sense (most of the time).


Honestly? It’s kinda like using apt install inspiration.

I still control the terminal — I just get a few extra suggestions before I hit Enter.


And oh yeah…

💙 Big news: I’ve switched to Kubuntu!

Goodbye GNOME, hello KDE.

It feels smooth, beautiful, and way more “me.” I’ve been customizing it nonstop — changing icons, tweaking panels, and pretending I’m hacking NASA every time I open Konsole.


Linux is still my favorite kind of chaos — open, free, and full of personality (just like its users).


So yeah, I might not be that lonely anymore. I’ve got Linux, coffee, and a helpful AI co-pilot. Not a bad combo.

This one is by me in person, really

Before i switched to kubuntu i used pure os but have issues installing steam (lol)

Flatpak issues

I tried to install the newer flatpak through source code and it still didn't work (idk why)

So as a last resort, i install kubuntu

Cheers

Till the next log —

Stay free, stay creative, and remember: even penguins need friends sometimes. 🐧💻

A lonely linuxer log #20 – re-introduction

Hi everyone, today I want to reintroduce myself. There’s an Indonesian proverb: “tak kenal maka tak sayang,” which roughly means “you can’t love someone you don’t know.” So, let me re-introduce myself. My name is Hubaka Ghayati Setyakurnia — yes, that’s my full birth-certificate name. I was born on May 13th, 1997, in Bandung, West Java, Indonesia. My childhood was simple, creative, and fun. I went to Al Ikhlas and TK Andhika for kindergarten, then continued to Priangan Elementary School. When I was in 2nd grade, my parents divorced and I transferred to Banjarsari Elementary School. After that, I studied at SMPN 7 Bandung — which at the time was the 3rd best middle school in the country (and if I remember correctly, it became the top one after I graduated). It was a great environment: clean, well-organized, and perfect for focusing on academics. Thanks to that momentum, I passed the entrance tests for SMAN 3 Bandung, which was known as the best high school back then — it even had its ow...

A Lonely Linuxer Log #17 – My Walking Hobby

This log is a bit different, but still very much part of my uptime. I want to share something that’s been helping me keep my system running stable: walking. I live in a crowded city — like a machine running too many background services — but it still has green parks and quiet paths, the equivalent of hidden TTYs where things feel calmer. I started doing daily “maintenance cycles,” walking about an hour and covering around 3km. But recently, I’ve upgraded. Now I can push 5km without throttling, and yesterday I even reached 8km — a surprising performance boost. And here’s the strange part: walking seems to help my insulin levels. My blood sugar came back normal — which feels like discovering that htop shows no runaway processes even though I consume too much sugary coffee and still smoke. (Yeah, I know, I’ll patch those habits eventually.) There’s even an incentive module installed: my dad pays me 5,000 rupiah per kilometer walked. That’s basically enough to apt-get a bottle of coffee. S...
