This article goes over some of the best open source tools for scheduling and organizing your time. This article is more for people who use Linux at home full time, but it's still cool to check out if you don't.

My article this week is about gaming with Linux and what you sacrifice when you do so. One of the main ones is graphic card support. With open source programs, the one mentioned is Nouveau, you don't get the performance you would with the Nvidia's proprietary drivers. After reading the article you'll see that Linux hasn't quite caught up with Windows in the gaming world but to really catch up, they need to make it simpler.

Another file manager that I've installed is Nemo. According to the article it "contains all the missing features of Nautilus." It also shows the progress of operation when moving or copying files.

This article goes over a way to make your Ubuntu desktop more secure with a simple firewall. Even though Ubuntu is somewhat safe already, any computer connected to the internet is insecure. It doesn't take very long at all only being about 3 steps. Although it doesn't 100 percent make Ubuntu secure, it does make your computer that much more secure.
