Ubuntu Mate 18.10 "Cosmic Cuttlefish" Installation and First Look
Today, I'm taking a quick look at Ubuntu MATE 18.10 "Cosmic Cuttlefish." This version of Ubuntu MATE sports the MATE desktop version 1.20.3, kernel 4.18, Firefox 63 and LibreOffice 6. Overall, a modest release that focused mostly on bug fixes rather than introducing new features.
It's release week for the various flavors of Ubuntu 18.04. Today, I'm looking at Ubuntu Budgie 18.04 "Bionic Beaver". The official release date is still two days away so this is technically a beta version but nothing should change between now and the release.

Would Linux users pay for Microsoft's Office suite or Adobe's Creative Suite? Is Linux a viable platform for proprietary software? And is there a substantial portion of our community that would prefer to never see these proprietary solutions become available on Linux?

Let's talk about documentation for your software projects. What is the right amount of documentation? After all, some big software projects choose to provide absolutely no documentation at all. Others try to document every little detail and every use case. Is too much documentation a bad thing?

Tonight, I'm going to take a quick first look at SliTaz. This independent distro has been requested by a few viewers. It uses the Openbox window manager which, of course, I love!

KVM/QEMU/Virt-Manager is a hypervisor and a good alternative to Virtualbox. Performance should be better using this combination since KVM is built into the Linux kernel itself. And it's not difficult to convert your existing Virtualbox VM's over to Virt-Manager.
SOME COMMANDS I USED IN THIS VIDEO:
LC_ALL=C lscpu | grep Virtualization
yay -S qemu virt-manager ebtables
sudo systemctl enable libvirtd
sudo systemctl start libvirtd
sudo systemctl status libvirtd
sudo usermod -G libvirtd -a dt
sudo qemu-img convert -f vdi -O qcow2 Ubuntu\ 20.04.vdi /var/lib/libvirt/images/ubuntu-20-04.qcow2

YouTube is increasingly overrun by sex bots that spam pornographic links in the comments of videos. And YouTube apparently allows all kinds of over-the-top "adult" kind of content on the platform. I see it everywhere...and YouTube wants me to watch it!!!

Pacwall is a shell script that changes your wallpaper to the dependency graph of installed packages. You can customize the colors to your liking, and you can even add a pacman hook if you wish. It is a great utility to have in your bag if you are a Unix "ricer".
