A few years ago I acquired an HP Chromebook 11, which I talked about in an article on this site at that time. I talked about how I ran Linux software side-by-side with Chrome OS thanks to the likes of Crouton.

But I recently felt it was time to ditch Papa Google's influence on the machine and get rid of Chrome OS - enter Arch Linux ARM.

After our group of friends founded a small open hardware community in El Salvador a few years ago, we felt alone in the region. The open hardware movement had developed in a creative explosion of projects and (thanks to the popularization of 3D printing and digital technologies such as Arduino) under a common understanding of how to develop new physical products. read more

In Linux for carrying out any task, we need to execute respective commands on the terminal. In case you need more efficiency you can run multiple commands in Linux at a time. This post will quickly teach you how we can run multiple commands in Linux depending on different situation or conditions.

After downloading a fresh version of a Fedora ISO, it is a good habit to get in to to verify the downloaded file. The benefits of verification are two-fold: integrity and security. Verification of your ISO confirms if the file... Continue Reading →

Sometimes, you may want to combine two files in a way that the output makes even more sense. For example, there could be a file containing name of continents, and another file containing names of countries located in these continents, and the requirement is to combine both files in a way that a continent and the corresponding country appear in the same line.

Docker Container is one of the most emerging technologies now a days. Docker Containers are generally used in CI/CD (Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment) platform.

openSUSE Project's Douglas DeMaio is today informing Softpedia about the promotion of the upcoming openSUSE Leap 42.3 operating system to the Release Candidate (RC) state.

While the options for Linux computers from commercial vendors are still needles in the proverbial haystack of OEM Windows equipment out there, there are more and more options available to a consumer who wants a good, solid device that's ready-to-use with no messing around. Still, there are more Linux OEM computers than I could look at for one article—and the options tend to be different in Europe than they are in the United States, with providers like Entroware that don't ship to the latter at all.

In most situations, from getting clothing advice to seeking peer review of the next scientific discovery, we harness the help of people around us in order to discuss and analyze potential next steps. Hardly anyone thinks up a perfect solution right off the bat; it's an iterative process full of trials and errors, adjustments, and new experiments. And it's a process we can always improve. This chapter offers some advice for doing just that. What are feedback loops? Feedback loops are supposed to be great and solve all sorts of problems. So what are they, exactly? read more
