The upcoming Linux kernel release, version 6.15, will be arriving in the next month or so, and I'm already seeing previews of what to expect. One of them is recently merged support for several gaming controllers and laptop touchpads.

Are you running Kubuntu Linux or another distro that uses the KDE Plasma desktop environment? Then you're missing out if you aren't taking advantage of a little search bar called KRunner.

Do you install a lot of different apps on your Linux computer? Are you worried that one of these apps might have a virus or malicious code that steals your data? Well, here are five security practices I personally follow to keep my Linux PC safe from these threats.

You might've heard that Linux can look like practically anything you want, but how customizable is it really? Can you easily tweak your Linux distro's look and feel as you desire, or does it require extensive terminal tinkering? Well, here are the five Linux distros to show you just what's possible!

Network Attached Storage (NAS) servers are mainly intended for backing up and storing files, but they can also do a lot more. I’ve been using a two-bay Synology DiskStation DS718+ NAS for close to a year now, and I’ve found some cool ways to make it more than just a data dumping ground.

You've probably heard that Linux distros lack a lot of Windows functionality. That can be more or less true, but I'd argue that some of that functionality Linux is better off never adopting or imitating.

Looking to ditch Windows and jump into the world of Linux? Chances are you've heard Linux Mint recommended over and over. But if you're serious about finding a Windows replacement that's not only easy but also modern, secure, and built for the future, you should take a closer look at Fedora.

Are you frustrated by the clunky file-sharing experience of a dual boot system? Are you perplexed by how both OSes can share the same RAM, CPU, GPU, but not the storage space? Well, here’s my practical fix for seamlessly sharing files between my Linux-Windows dual boot PC.

System76 has been selling Linux desktops and laptops for years, and now the company has revealed an updated Sevrval WS laptop. The latest model has an Intel Core Ultra 9 processor, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 graphics, and of course, full support for desktop Linux.

Fedora 42 is now offered alongside Ubuntu, Debian, and other popular distros in the Windows Subsystem for Linux. It's a neat addition for developers who want to create or audit cross-platform apps without dual booting, as well as professionals who need to access both Windows and Linux on a single machine.

When I first switched to Linux from Windows, I was intimidated by the terminal. The black screen with its blinking cursor seemed archaic compared to Windows' polished GUI. Why would anyone choose to type commands when you could just click buttons? Oh, how wrong I was.

Have you seen the term "homelab" but weren't exactly sure what it is? Well, it has a fairly broad definition, but in its simplest terms, it's just a place where you play with computers, servers, and networking equipment. Here's everything a homelab involves, and how you get started with your own.

Linux distros can seem boring when you've been using them for a while. Another one? Are you nostalgic for the 1990s and early 2000s? A little-known distro called EXE may be what you're looking for. Is it for you?

If you have a password manager, chances are you rely on an online account that tracks and stores all of your passwords. It's convenient, but you can actually keep your passwords stored off the internet while still syncing across devices.

Most people use Linux to learn, tinker, or build something useful. I’ve used it to do things that range from mildly amusing to downright cursed. These aren’t best practices. They’re not productive. They probably won’t land you a job. But they will remind you why Linux is such a wild and wonderful system.

Are you shopping for your first NAS? I made a lot of mistakes when I bought my first networked storage system, and I still regret some of the decisions to this day. Here are five ways I messed up, and how you can avoid making the same mistakes I did.

Gaining control over the Linux operating system requires mastering the terminal—and one of the foundational skills is learning how to open files from the command line. This not only builds confidence in using the Linux OS, but also opens the door to faster workflows and automation.

While Linux isn't strictly a text-only system, it has a reputation for making better use of plain text than any other operating system. While many tools cater to programmers, writers, and authors can also take advantage of these powerful tools. (They'll also work in the macOS and Windows Subsystem for Linux terminals.)

The Windows Subsystem for Linux, or WSL for short, makes it easy to use Linux software inside a Windows PC. You can now officially use Arch Linux in WSL, alongside existing distribution options like Ubuntu, Debian, and Fedora.
