Last Article!!! Due March 9th... Make it a good one
This isn't strictly Linux related, but since MacOSX is based on BSD I found this site very helpful. One of the things about Apple computers is that you have to buy an Apple in order to run the operating system. Well, hackers always like a challenge... Modern Mac computers use Intel processors like PC's. It seems like it should be easy to run Apple OSX on a PC just like installing Linux... Well, it isn't so easy, but people have done it. They call them Hackintosh.

This article is about the International Space Station switching from Windows to Linux. All the computers aboard the ISS are switching to Debian 6. Not a single computer will run Windows there.

Snap vs. Flatpak

This is a decent reddit discussion thread, you will find other articles on both snap and flatpak if you look...

I've been learning to work more with VIM as of late and have been enjoying it alot. I was google searching how to change the arrow cursor around keys and found a super user forum where someone answered how he could achieve this goal, but other users were referring him to the 2nd link I provided, it shows a brief history into why vim uses hjkl and also why unix starts with ~ as it's home directory
Forum post asking how to change key mapping for vim:
The link that was provided as the history behind a few nuances of linux:

Why Linux is better than windows or macOS for security
Lets begin Linux and Unix based operating system have Less exploitable secure besides that the linux code is always reviewed by the tech community.Even there is lots of others linux distributes too.
Windows on the other side is mostly been target by tons of hackers worldwide, its been hit by worst virus like the WanaCry .

This article is about the new Zorin OS that released recently and has almost garnered one million downloads. It is based on Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS for added security and therefore also includes the Linux 5.3 kernel, bringing support for the latest hardware. It comes with the latest versions LibreOffice and the GNU Image Manipulation Program pre-installed among other software.
