TL;DR: Steps on how to set it up for Linux Mint Cinnamon Desktop Environment. Problem Statement In my most recent Obsidian obsession, I started looking for widgets - both mobile and desktop that display my notes, more specifically my DO and TODO lists. The journey has culminated into this post. My proposed solution, as the title suggests, is going to be for desktop, specifically the Linux Mint Cinnamon environment. Nevertheless, I did find some interesting applications for mobile devices in my Literature Review. ...

Like many developers, the main machine that I code on has always been a laptop. Previously, it was a 15.6" HP EliteBook 850 G8. Most recently it has been a 14" Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 5. I am quite stubborn with introducing any additions to my workflow and setups for a number of reasons but it mainly boils down to the following mentality I have developed: Reducing the number of dependencies both software and hardware. ...
