My everyday setup
I've been using XFCE for years, and to customize it I used some scripts https://github.com/diws1/xfce-rice
After years of using Debian with the default XFCE, i decided to make it prettier.
Eu uso essa combinação tem muito tempo e não pretendo trocar tão cedo.
Eu sempre fui uma pessoa que gostou de manter seus programas bem organizados no Linux. Existem muitas distribuições que fazem isso de forma atômica e eficiente, mas geralmente com um nível de complexidade bastante alto.
Por causa disso, criei, em 2023, um gerenciador de pacotes chamado QUEL. A ideia é simples: utilizar programas pré-compilados e compactados com SquashFS. Com isso, consigo gerenciar versões de programas, instalar atualizações por cima das existentes e, caso eu desinstale um programa específico, todos os seus vestígios são removidos junto.
Além do QUEL, decidi montar uma distribuição Linux baseada em BLFS para utilizar os pacotes dos programas que vou compilando. Ainda há pouca coisa no repositório, mas pretendo adicionar muito mais conteúdo no futuro. Entretanto, também preciso criar uma documentação para incentivar outras pessoas a compilar programas e testar a distribuição.
O nome do projeto é Quieux Linux.

OBS: alguns youtubers já fizeram review da minha distro mas todos eles estão desatualizados, antes a base não era BLFS.
I have been attending a Reformed church for a few months. My change was motivated by theological studies; after much study, I decided to join this church, and I am fascinated by the level of knowledge and the quality of each sermon.
Since then, I have attended all Sunday services and taken communion with them. Twice a year, this church opens the membership process, and I decided to apply at the beginning of 2026. I completed all the classes and memorized the confession of faith, the Apostles’ Creed, and the other confessional standards. However, after finishing the course, an interview is required, followed by a public profession of faith that takes place on a specific day.
The issue is that after completing the course, I was not called for any interview, and I will not make the public profession because the church requires members to participate in a small group (a small gathering in a member’s home), and I do not attend any of them. I am not completely introverted or antisocial, but I am not the type of person who easily approaches new places with new people, and although I attend all Sunday services, the church is large enough that I am rarely noticed.
My question is: I will continue attending all the services, but I may not become an official member or make a public profession of faith. So how important is this? In the end, I believe it may be purely institutional, or is it something I should put more effort into?
