My Desktop
Read Seif’s post on his desktop, so I copied most of that style (original post) :
I actually enabled compiz for the first time in a long time, and AMD’s linux drivers have come a long way since my critical posts a few years ago about them. Great to see the whole stack improving.
Default Search Engine
This week I switched over my default search engine to Duck Duck Go.
I really like it’s clean interface, and their attention to privacy and technology enthusiasm.
New Home Page
In addition, I updated my generic landing page using Python / Flask to pull feeds etc, I really like the simplicity of Flask and the well thought out design / documentation. I also published the source on github.

Thanks for the link to the wallpaper!
I’ve tried Duck Duck Go in the past, and now again. I really love it! The only thing I’m missing though which keeps me on Google is the auto-completion when you type search query
Is there any way to enable auto-completion on Duck Duck Go?
