This Part III of the tutorial for students series discusses what are fonts, how we use fonts, and to get them to design & illustrate with Inkscape on computer. You will learn from here font families like Sans Serif Mono as well as their styles Bold Italic Regular aside from basic knowledge about fonts across operating systems with examples and pictures included. Happy learning and let's go! GNU Linux bash ? how to get quick nice overview over harddisks partitions filesystems disk usage[3] Creating XDG custom url scheme handler | KageSenshi's Log [4] If you develop system tools or desktop software on Linux that also have an accompanying web application, you might want to have a way for the web application to launch the tool with some parameters specified through a web based link. For example, a link with dnf://inkscape as url, might be used to launch Gnome Software, and display the description of Inkscape, so that user may choose to install it or not. In Linux, registering a custom URL handler can be done using XDG desktop file, of which it is configured to open x-scheme-handler MimeType. How to install PHP 8 on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS Server - Linux Shout [5] PHP doesn?t need to introduction to those who are in the software development field. Well, for those who don?t know about it, PHP is an open-source scripting language PHP for web development and widely used for creating dynamic web pages. IT came into existence in 1994 and since then it has been developing to perform more complex operations and that?s the reason why it is considered a standard for dynamic web content. Unlike other script languages, the websites are generated on the server-side and then sent to the web browser. This has the advantage that the client ? in this case, the browser ? does not have to bring any special plug-ins.

Either: ● An OS that you cannot modify Or, at least: ● An OS that you will have an hard time modifying What do you mean “modify” ? ● E.g., installing packages ● ⇒ An OS on which you cannot install packages ● ⇒ An OS on which you will have an hard time installing packages 3 Immutable OS: What ?

Because it will stay clean and hard to break ● Does this sound familiar? ○ Let’s install foo, and it’s dependency, libfoobar_1 ○ Let’s install bar (depends from libfoobar_1, we have it already) ○ Actually, let’s add an external repo.

What you now hold in your hands is the first annual report of the GNOME Foundation, at the end of what has been an eventful year for us. Each year brings its challenges and rewards for the members of this global project. This year, many of our biggest challenges are in the legal arena. European countries have been passing laws to conform with the European Union Copyright Directive, and some, including France, have brought into law provisions which we as software developers find it hard to understand, but which appear to make much of what we do illegal. We have found our- selves in the center of patent wars as bigger companies jockey for position with offerings based on our hard work. And we are scratching our heads trying to figure out how to deal with the constraints of DRM and patents in multimedia, while still offering our users access to their media files.

  • Getting Started with LINUX a Personal Experience

    Getting Started with LINUX a Personal Experience

    Getting Started with LINUX a personal experience IWPCUG March 7th 2018 Mike Hoar Have been on the fringes of Linux for some years (I pronounce it the Scandinavian way Lee-nux a combination of Linnus Thorvald and UNIX). This presentation provides an introduction to Linux in the form of a record of my investigations and experience of installing, configuring and initial use of a Linux setup. 1 Part 1: The Background • What is Linux? • What do I want to use it for? • What hardware do I have? 2 What is LINUX? An Operating System Just like Windows, iOS and UNIX Computers need an OS, software and peripheral hardware to perform. The OS enables the software to run and communicate with the printers, monitors and other media devices. Just like Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 8, and Mac OS X, Linux is an operating system. An operating system is software that manages all of the hardware resources associated with your desktop or laptop. To put it simply – the operating system manages the communication between your software and your hardware. Without the operating system (often referred to as the “OS”), the software wont function. Operating systems have been around since general purpose computers were first developed. They have just got more sophisticated and complex. The first home computers such as the Commadore64 and Sinclair ZX machines had the OS hard wired into the machine. When the IBM PC was developed it came with the first OS which was installed every time you started up the machine, this was Microsofts DOS. Other versions were soon developed which were compatible with software written to run on MS-DOS .

You can install Ubuntu Mate on your old laptop and keep at the same time Windows XP too, if you like XP. Or you can buy a tiny new laptop about 200-300 €/$ and change Windows 10 to Ubuntu. It works! I have made both about three years ago, and I haven't used Windows since then. My own laptop is cheap HP Stream 4 MB/32 GB. When I was studying Ubuntu, I noticed that simple beginner's guide books were not available. So, I did a guide book. I also created a website and named it www.ubuntutor.com. It currently includes Ubuntu 16.04 and 18.04 tutorials. And this guide is third one.

    "What Is GNOME ?" Document

    What is GNOME? GNOME is a free and easy-to-use desktop environment for users, as well as a powerful application development framework for software developers. GNOME is... • Free - GNOME is Free Software and part of the GNU project, dedicated to giving users and developers the ultimate level of control over their desktops, their software, and their data. • Usable - GNOME understands that usability is about creating software that is easy for everyone to use, not about piling on features. GNOME's community of professional and volunteer usability experts have created Free Software's first and only Human Interface Guidelines, and all core GNOME software is adopting these principles. • Accessible - Free Software is about enabling software freedom for everyone, including users and developers with disabilities. GNOME's Accessibility framework is the result of several years of effort, and is a core component, not just an afterthought. • International - GNOME is used, developed and documented in dozens of languages, and we strive to ensure that every piece of GNOME soft- ware can be translated into all languages. • Organized - GNOME is an organized community, with a foundation of several hundred members, including an elected board, as well as us- ability, accessibility, and QA teams. GNOME releases are defined by the GNOME Release Team and are scheduled to occur every six months. • Supported - Beyond the worldwide GNOME Community, GNOME is supported by the leading companies in Linux and Unix, including HP, IBM, Mandrake, Novell, Red Hat, and Sun. • A Community - Perhaps more than anything else, GNOME is a world- wide community that is growing every day.
