If you are looking for additional ad blocker software to test out, Bluhell Firewall is a great alternative. One of the nice things about Bluhell firewall is that it is extremely lightweight. It manages a cleaner feel by reducing unnecessary features and options that a causal user simply wont use. Another thing to point out is that this software only blocks ads on Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird email client, but if you only browse the web and check email this is a great option.

This article may have already been posted but it has probably been a while and I found it interesting. The article is on “10 fundamental differences between Linux and Windows”. Where Jack Wallen made a list of the key differences in the two operating systems. First on his list is “Full access vs. no access”. Where in Linux you have full access to the source code but for Windows code it is next to impossible. You need to be a member of an elite group. Jack Wallen suggested that this “is probably the single most significant differences between” the two operating systems. Then he goes into Licensing. Where he explains the differences between freedom vs. restrictions of licensing. There are another eight things that Jack writes about in this article to show the differences between these two operating systems. He ends the article with we need to decide for our self if there is a big enough difference to switch.  So, I hope you read and enjoy it. Signing out for my final article this quarter.

This article discusses an array of OS that are great for a raspberry pi. There is a very wide arrangements of operating systems here. Starting off with kali linux, which i was surprised ran on a pi. OSs like  openmediavault, which can turn your pi into a multimedia hub for your house. As well as classices we've all heard of like retropie, and two other retrogaming operating systems. there is no shortage of Linux OSs that run wonderfully on an pi and all doing very unique specific tasks!

The ability to search through commands that have been executed in the past is a powerful tool to have at our disposal. This article goes over the history command, and some more advanced methods of using it. I have been reading the .bash_history file in the home directory to see what commands I have previously done in terminal, but this tool will make the process much quicker.
