Re: Last Article! Due March 11th -- Happy Last Week

This article talks about a Linux distribution xTix. What is special about this distro is it is running the Linux 5.0 Kernel, xfce 4.13, and has Kodi, the open source home media tool pre-installed. Xfce is a popular user environment in the linux world, and is low demanding. The devs have pre loaded Nvidia graphics drivers on it. The development branch is based on Ubuntu 19.04

The Linux Kernel 5.0 is out. Linus Torvald commented that they had a handful of fixes the week they released, but it's not so unstable that he is worried about it. The article points out the main features of the update, including things from NVIDIA Xavier display support to improved power management. The article also links a separate article including the rest of the updates. ​https://itsfoss.com/linux-kernel-5/

Have you ever wanted to run the same Linux on your smartphone and PC? Well we're now in luck! Purism, the open-source laptop and smartphone vendor is bringing that idea into reality by releasing PureOS Linux distribution. PureOS is convergent, meaning that the operating system and it's applications will have a consistent look and feel, as well as functionality for apps that run on your phone and computer. Developers will also be able to customize their applications for PureOS by using the open-source libhandy.

This article gives a step by step on how to bind a linux computer with an active directory domain. The process used will depend on what version of the Linux kernel your distribution of choice is based on: Debian or Red Hat (RHEL).

In the past, searching for Linux files using a Windows OS was a tricky process. Not anymore! Windows is finally supporting the Linux distros and adding support for viewing and editing files within them. Supposedly, you will also get improvements to how you can manage and configure your distros in the command line. You will be able to access files from windows via a new 9P protocol file server in your Linux instance, which is a distributed file network protocol. In WSL, it enables you to work with Linux files and file systems. Including support for metadata and permissions.

Valve has been working on a new set of compatibility tools that would allow steams games to be played on Linux. A new version of steam play has arrived and it will intergrate third-party Linux gaming compatibility tools. It should offer a plug-n-play experience.

This article goes over many commands that save time when using Bash. Commands include a few regarding history, like ctrl + r to reverse search, or !! to rerun your last command used. It also lists a few file/navigation commands. There are also a few commands listed to help add color to Bash. There are many shortcuts listed, like shopt -s cdspell to correct typos, ctrl + t to swap 2 characters, and ctrl + x + ctrl + e to open the command string in an editor so that you can edit it before it runs.
