About the Author
I'm Stephan, a Linux user with a passion for open-source, UI/UX design, and exploring what makes fiction work.
In my spare time, I focus on (and write about):
- Programming (mainly in Python and Rust)
- Retrocomputing (mostly DOS but, as of January 2023, I also own a machine running Mac OS 9.2)
- Reading and Reviewing Fiction
- The odd bit of UI/UX design or literary theory

A Brief List of Ways to Make Xinerama and Games Get Along
As none of you certainly know, my system has a very odd video setup: Because I hate bad window management misplacing things when the resolution changes, I’ve used xorg.conf to lock my desktop at 2560×1024 Because I’m using nVidia TwinView, … Continue reading
