Ubuntu Studio To Replace Xfce With KDE Plasma Desktop

  • Ubuntu Studio To Replace Xfce With KDE Plasma Desktop Environment

    Ubuntu Studio is a popular official flavour of Ubuntu tailored for creative content creators involved in audio production, video, graphics, photography, and book publishing. It offers a lot of multimedia content creation applications out of the box with the best possible experience.

    After the recent 20.04 LTS release, the Ubuntu Studio team highlighted something very important in their official announcement. And, probably not everyone noticed the key information i.e Ubuntu Studio’s future.

    Ubuntu Studio 20.04 will be the last version to ship with the Xfce desktop environment. All the future releases will be using KDE Plasma instead.

Ubuntu Studio 20.10 to Ditch the Xfce Desktop in Favor of KDE

  • Ubuntu Studio 20.10 to Ditch the Xfce Desktop in Favor of KDE Plasma

    In the release notes for the recent Ubuntu Studio 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa) release, the development team talked a bit about what we should expect from future releases.

    Ubuntu Studio, an officially recognized Ubuntu flavor designed for general multimedia production, has been using the lightweight Xfce as default desktop environment for a long time now.

    However, starting with the upcoming Ubuntu Studio 20.10 (Groovy Gorilla) release, the default desktop environment will be switched to the beautiful and modern KDE Plasma.

Officially Released: This Remix Of Ubuntu 20.04 Ditches Gnome

  • Officially Released: This Remix Of Ubuntu 20.04 Ditches Gnome For Deepin

    Additionally, this new Linux distribution uses official Ubuntu repositories instead of Deepin ones, and the developers have tasked themselves with maintaining the DDE (Deepin Desktop Environment) packages for Ubuntu.

    I gave it a test run last month when the beta was still fresh, and I’m eager to see what refinements have been made since then.

    One other thing worth pointing out: I’m a sucker for projects that have polished websites, and UbuntuDDE comes out of the gate with not just a sharp looking portal, but also official support channels within Telegram and IRC, in addition to Forums.

    That’s likely because this project’s end goal is gaining the favor of Canonical and becoming an official Ubuntu flavor; right now it’s classified as a “Remix” similar to CinnaBuntu... sorry, I mean Ubuntu Cinnamon Edition.

  • How To Install MongoDB on AlmaLinux 9 - idroot

    In this tutorial, we will show you how to install MongoDB on AlmaLinux 9. For those of you who didn’t know, MongoDB is a high-performance, highly scalable document-oriented NoSQL database. Unlike in SQL databases where data is stored in rows and columns inside tables, in MongoDB, data is structured in JSON-like format inside records which are referred to as documents. The open-source attribute of MongoDB as a database software makes it an ideal candidate for almost any database-related project. This article assumes you have at least basic knowledge of Linux, know how to use the shell, and most importantly, you host your site on your own VPS. The installation is quite simple and assumes you are running in the root account, if not you may need to add ‘sudo‘ to the commands to get root privileges. I will show you the step-by-step installation of the MongoDB NoSQL database on AlmaLinux 9. You can follow the same instructions for CentOS and Rocky Linux.

  • Self-host a Ghost Blog With Traefik

    Ghost is a very popular open-source content management system. Started as an alternative to WordPress and it went on to become an alternative to Substack by focusing on membership and newsletter. The creators of Ghost offer managed Pro hosting but it may not fit everyone's budget. Alternatively, you can self-host it on your own cloud servers. On Linux handbook, we already have a guide on deploying Ghost with Docker in a reverse proxy setup. Instead of Ngnix reverse proxy, you can also use another software called Traefik with Docker. It is a popular open-source cloud-native application proxy, API Gateway, Edge-router, and more. I use Traefik to secure my websites using an SSL certificate obtained from Let's Encrypt. Once deployed, Traefik can automatically manage your certificates and their renewals. In this tutorial, I'll share the necessary steps for deploying a Ghost blog with Docker and Traefik.
