Oct 4, 2022
In this post I detail my install process for OpenToonz, an amazing tool for creating animation videos, on Pop!_OS 22.04. Again, I will be using flatpak, as I did with Shotcut in the previous post.

Install Tex Live 2016 on Ubuntu 16.04
Oct 31, 2016
On Ubuntu 14.04 I went through a fairly involved procedure to get the current TeX Live (TeX Live 2013 at that time) installed because it was not in the standard repository. However, it seems that there is now a much easier way to get TeX Live 2016: J Fernyhough has put together a PPA-- kudos to him! (sorry, no longer exists)

Oct 10, 2016
This a very brief post on installing dropbox on Ubuntu 16.04, mainly to remind myself how I got it working. In the end, it's the most straightforward approach, but not the one I found at the dropbox website. So, be careful.
Python setup on Ubuntu 16.04
Sep 21, 2016
In this post I will document my approach to python on Ubuntu 16.04. To be clear, this is not the only way to do things and I make no claims that it is the best strategy. However, it is useful for me to write this information down for future reference. Who knows, it might be helpful for you too!? Let me know if it is. I also love to read about other approaches, so leave comments and/or links below.
