What Is mijorus.it and Who Is Lorenzo Paderi?

Updated

mijorus.it is the personal website of Lorenzo Paderi, an English-language site that presents his Linux desktop tools and short how-to posts. It is a project and tutorial hub rather than a company site: the homepage lists his apps with one-line descriptions, links to install or configure them, and a Ko-Fi donation entry. Use it when you want to find or set up one of his tools, such as Collector, Gear Lever, Simba, Smile, or Whisper.

What the site contains

The homepage works as a compact index of his work. Each item pairs a name with a short description and a link to more detail:

Project What it does, per the site
Collector Drag and drop "to the next level"
Gear Lever A simple way to install AppImages on your system
Simba A Samba manager
Smile An emoji picker for Linux
Whisper Listen to your microphone using Pipewire

Alongside the project list, the site carries tutorial posts. Two examples shown on the page are "How to configure Collector on KDE" — a quick tutorial on telling Plasma to keep Collector windows always on top — and a page for installing the complementary GNOME Shell extension for Collector.

Who Lorenzo Paderi is

Based on the site itself, he is the developer behind these Linux desktop utilities and the author of the accompanying tutorials. The page does not include a biography, employer, or contact details beyond the project and donation links, so treat him as an independent developer publishing his own tools and guides.

How to use the site

  • Looking for a tool: scan the homepage list, pick the project, and follow its link for install or usage details.
  • Setting up Collector on KDE: open the "How to configure Collector on KDE" post; it covers making Plasma keep Collector windows always on top.
  • Using Collector on GNOME: the site points to a separate GNOME Shell extension page for installation.
  • Supporting the work: the "Donate" / "Support me on Ko-Fi" link leads to his Ko-Fi page. The site does not state pricing for the apps, so don't assume they are free or paid based on the homepage alone — check each project's own page.

What to keep in mind

The content is in English and is written for Linux desktop users, particularly those on KDE or GNOME. The descriptions are brief, so for requirements and exact steps, follow through to the individual project or tutorial page rather than relying on the homepage summary.
