If there’s ever been a mismatch in comparing any two distros, it definitely does not get any better as a mismatch than this. While Linux Mint seeks to provide an all-around distro that is ready for work and play right out of the box with a carefully curated software selection and experience, Arch allows advanced users to custom design their own distro with only the packages and software they’d want. So how do these two distros compare, their similarities and differences?
While Google Continues to rule the Android market by spying on its Android users. Purism, the company that has always stood for user privacy, has their latest offering ‘Librem 5’ which is a phone that focuses on the security and privacy of its users. Enjoying massive success from the last few offerings of Privacy based Laptops such as the Librem 11, Librem 13 & the Librem 15. The bars have been set really high for the upcoming ‘Librem 5’ phone.Let’s have a look at the proposed f
Arial, Times New Roman, Impact, and Verdana are some of the most used sources. They are so widely used in the fact that whenever you open a Word document from any computer, you expect to immediately find its presence. However, in its newly installed Ubuntu (and many other Linux distributions), it is found that there is absolutely no trace of any of these sources. Ubuntu, by default, does not include the major Microsoft fonts commonly used in your installation. The set of fonts yo
So let us agree on this, Linux Mint is the best Linux desktop around. Linux Mint in 2017 is what Ubuntu used to be in 2008. With Cinnamon and MATE desktops, Linux Mint is simple and intuitive for new users and has gained widespread applause, appreciation, usage, and popularity. While the Cinnamon edition has been targeted at modern computers and users who prefer a more modern desktop. It is much more graphics intensive and requires greater resources, which can be difficult for so
Docker is one of my favorite tools. If you are a developer, docker container should be in your skillset. It makes the development & deployment process easier and a lot less time-consuming. In this article, I will talk about Docker and demonstrate how to run docker containers step-by-step. Docker was founded by Solomon Hykes and Sebastien Pahl in 2010 and it was launched in 2011. Docker was publicly released in 2013 and in the same year, Docker was made open source. Initially, D
TimeShift is a system restore tool for Linux. It provides functionality that is quite similar to the System Restore feature in Windows or the Time Machine tool in macOS. TimeShift protects your system by making incremental snapshots of the file system manually or at regular automated intervals. These snapshots can then be restored at a later point to undo all changes to the system and restore it to the previous state. Snapshots are made using rsync and hard-links and the tool shares com
It’s no secret to anyone: KDE and its latest implementation, Plasma 5, have been my favorite applications and desktop suite for quite some time now. I started GNU / Linux with Gnome 2 that brought Ubuntu Feisty Fawn but quickly jumped to that unknown ocean, full of strange words with the letter K in them, called Kubuntu. Coming and going, distros and more distros, until you end up trapped by the Chakra magic and its unique environment. As much as I have tried to change this fact in s
How about we begin with the way this isn’t generally a “portable workstation.” The guts of the Serval Workstation make it more desktop than a tablet. Desktop-class 4-GHz i7 processor. 16GB of DDR3 RAM. 128GB SSD. Also, for the GPU, a 6GB nVidia GeForce GTX 970M Also, that is recently the unit they sent me. You can pack up to 32GB of RAM and 5TB of capacity in this apparatus. In. A. Cracking. Tablet.The show is 15.6 crawls with a 1080p determination. It’s an extraordinary screen. It
Cédric Bellegarde, the developer behind the popular Lollypop music player, returns with a completely new crazy project: a web browser. From her pretty name, Eolie web browser. A new web browser for the GNOME desktop environment, while everyone else is already leaving the official browser to the benefit of the tenors of Firefox and Chrome? We are therefore curious to try the beast, to try to understand what has passed through the head of its author. Eolie and its tab bar as thumbn
New to Linux? Never fear, a superior operating system is here! You’ll go from asking everyone for help to re-compiling your own kernel in no time! (Relevant XKCD). Here are some tips for you newcomers on acclimating yourself with the realm of Linux: 1. Stick with Linux Mint, Linux Lite or derivatives Stick with the easy to use distributions such as Linux Mint, Linux Lite, and Zorin, etc. They are a breeze to install and use, and their intuitive designs allow ev
Linux has come a long way in terms of the applications that are available for the platform. Whatever your specific needs are, you can be sure that there are at least a few applications available for you to use. Today, we’ll look at 10 free Linux photo editors, and I must say, there are a lot of image editing tools available. This post selects just 10 of these awesome tools and talks about them briefly looking at what makes them stand out. In no particular order, let’s start. 10
Endless OS is a free, easy-to-use operating system preloaded with over 100 apps, making it useful from the moment you turn it on. Endless takes Linux to a whole different dimension. It is intuitive and quite different. The developers have come out with a distro that targets mainly developing countries and also computers with no or limited internet access. So even without the internet, you will have access to stuff like Wikipedia. The aim is to provide an operating system that comes w
