GParted The Complete Partition Editor For Linux
|
||||
======
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
**Partition editing**is a task which not only requires carefulness but also a stable environment. Today GParted is one of the leading partition editing tools on Linux environment.
|
||||
|
||||
**GParted**is not only easy but also remains powerful at the same time. Today I am going to list out the installation as well as basics to use GParted which will be helpful to newbies.
|
||||
|
||||
### How to install GParted?
|
||||
|
||||
Downloading and installing gparted is not a much difficult task. Today GParted is available on almost all distros and can be easily installed from their specific software center. Just go to software center and search “GParted” or use command line package manager to install it.
|
||||
|
||||
[][1] In case you don’t have a software center or GParted isn’t available on software center you can always grab it from its official website.[Download][2]
|
||||
|
||||
#### The Basics
|
||||
|
||||
Using GParted isn’t difficult. When I opened it for the first time 3 years ago, sure I was confused for a moment but I was quickly able to use it. Launching GParted requires admin privileges so it requires your password for launching. This is normal.
|
||||
|
||||
[][3]
|
||||
|
||||
Below is the screen that GParted will display when you launch it the first time i.e. all your partitions of the hard disk (It will differ PC to PC).
|
||||
|
||||
[][4]
|
||||
|
||||
The screen presented is not only simple but also effective. You will see that from left to right it displays address of the partition, type of partition, the mount point ( “/” indicates root), Label of partition (In case you name your partitions like I do), total size of partition and capacity used and unused as well as flags (never ever touch a partition with a flag unless you know what you are doing). The key sign in front of file systems indicates that the partition is currently mounted means used by the system. Right-click and select “unmount” to unmount it.
|
||||
|
||||
You can see that it displays all sorts of information that you need to know about a particular partition you want to mess with. The bar with filled and unfilled portion indicates your hard disk. Also a simple thing “dev/sda” goes for hard disk while “dev/sdb” goes for your removable drives mostly flash drives (differs).
|
||||
|
||||
You can change working on drives by clicking on the box at top right corner saying “dev/sda”. The tweaks you want are available on different options at the menu bar.
|
||||
|
||||
[][5]
|
||||
|
||||
This is my flash drive which I switched using the top right corner box as I told above. See it now indicates different details. Also as my drive is based on different format the color of bar changed. This is a really helpful feature as it indicates that partition changes if color differs. Editing external drives is also same as editing internal.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Tweaking The Partitions
|
||||
|
||||
Tweaking partition requires your full attention as this is somewhat risky because if it's done wrong, you will destroy your data. Keeping this point in mind proceed.
|
||||
|
||||
Select a partition you want to work on rather it is on hard drive or flash drive is non-relevant. If the partition is mounted, unmount it. After unmounting the editing options will become available.
|
||||
|
||||
[][6]
|
||||
|
||||
This options can be accessed by menu bar or right mouse button too. The first option is for creating a new partition, the second one to delete, third one to resize partition, the fourth one to copy, fifth to paste. The last options are important as the second last is to revert changes and the last one is to apply changes.
|
||||
|
||||
GParted doesn’t make changes in real time but keeps track of changes done by you. So you can easily revert a change if it is caused by mistake. Lastly, you can apply it and save changes.
|
||||
|
||||
Now let’s come to editing part.
|
||||
|
||||
Let us assume you want to create a new partition by deleting existing one. Select partition of your choice hit the delete key and it will be deleted. Now for creating a new partition select that first option on the menu bar that indicates “new”.
|
||||
|
||||
You will get the following options.
|
||||
|
||||
[][7]
|
||||
|
||||
Here you can easily resize the partition by either entering values manually or drag the bar. If you want to change alignment do it with align option. You can choose whether to keep partition primary or secondary by option “create as”. Name the partition in Label and choose the appropriate file system. In case you want to access this partition on other OS like windows better use “
|
||||
|
||||
[NTFS][8]
|
||||
|
||||
” format.
|
||||
|
||||
There are times when data partition table is hampered. GParted handles this thing well too. There is the option to create new data partition table under device option. Remember creating data partition will destroy present data.
|
||||
|
||||
[][9]
|
||||
|
||||
But what to do when you already having a pen drive on which you want to do data rescue? Gparted helps here too. Reach data rescue option under device section from the menu bar. This option requires the installation of additional components that can be accessed from software center.
|
||||
|
||||
[][10]
|
||||
|
||||
You can also align flags to certain partition by option “flags”. Remember not to mess with flags unless you know what you are doing. There are a lot of other tweaks too to explore and use. Do that but remember mess with something unless you know what you are doing.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Applying Tweaks
|
||||
|
||||
[][11]
|
||||
|
||||
After you have done tweaking you need to apply them. This could be done by using apply option I mentioned above. It will give you a warning. Check out if everything is proper before applying and proceed the warning to apply tweaks and your changes are done. Enjoy!.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Other Features
|
||||
|
||||
Gparted offers live environment image files to boot and repair partitions in case of something wrong that can be downloaded from the website. GParted also shows tweaks it can do on your system, partition information and many others. Remember options will be differently available as per system.
|
||||
|
||||
[][12]
|
||||
|
||||
### Conclusion
|
||||
|
||||
Here we reach the end of my long article.
|
||||
|
||||

There is also a nice community on _GParted_ that will surely help you in case you come across a bug or doubt in which we [LinuxAndUbuntu][13]are too included. The power of GParted will help you to do almost all partition related task but you should be careful about what you are doing.

10 Reasons Why Linux Is Better Than Windows
|
||||
======
|
||||
It is often seen that people get confused over choosing Windows or Linux as host operating system in both
|
||||
|
||||
[server][1]
|
||||
|
||||
and desktop spaces. People will focus on aspects of cost, the functionality provided, hardware compatibility, support, reliability, security, pre-built software, cloud-readiness etc. before they finalize. In this regard, this article covers ten reasons of using Linux over Windows.
|
||||
|
||||
## 10 Reasons Why Linux Is Better Than Windows
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Total cost of ownership
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The most obvious advantage is that Linux is free whereas Windows is not. Windows license cost is different for both desktop and server versions. In case of Linux OS either it can be desktop or server, distro comes with no cost. Not only the OS even the related applications are completely free and open source.
|
||||
|
||||
For personal use, a single Windows OS license fee may appear inexpensive but when considered for business, more employees means more cost. Not only the OS license cost, organization need to be ready to pay for applications like MS Office, Exchange, SharePoint that run on Windows.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
In Windows world, you cannot modify the OS as its source code is not open source. Same is the case with proprietary applications running on it. However, in case of Linux, a user can download even the source code of a Linux OS, change it and use it spending no money. Though some Linux distros charge for support, they are inexpensive when compared to Windows license price.
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Beginner friendly and easy to use
|
||||
|
||||
[][2]
|
||||
|
||||
Windows OS is one of the simplest desktop OS available today. Its graphical user-friendliness is exceptional. Though Windows has a relatively minimal learning curve, Linux distros like Ubuntu, Elementary OS, Linux Mint etc. are striving to improve the user experience that makes transition from Windows to Linux become smooth and easy.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Linux distros allow user to choose one of the various desktop environments available:
|
||||
|
||||
[Cinnamon][3]
|
||||
|
||||
,
|
||||
|
||||
[MATE][4]
|
||||
|
||||
,
|
||||
|
||||
[KDE][5]
|
||||
|
||||
,
|
||||
|
||||
[Xfce][6]
|
||||
|
||||
, LXDE, GNOME etc. If a Windows user is looking to migrate to Linux,
|
||||
|
||||
[WINE][7]
|
||||
|
||||
(Wine Is Not an Emulator) can be installed to have a feel of MS Windows on a Linux system.
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Reliability
|
||||
|
||||
Linux is more reliable when compared to Windows. Linux will rock with its top-notch design, built-in security resulting un-parallel up-time. Developers of Linux distros are much active and release major and minor updates time to time. Traditionally Unix-like systems are known for running for years without a single failure or having a situation which demands a restart. This is an important factor especially choosing a server system. Definitely Linux being a UNIX-like system, it will be a better choice.
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Hardware
|
||||
|
||||
[][8]
|
||||
|
||||
Linux systems are known for consuming fewer system resources (RAM, disk space etc.) when compared to Windows. Hardware vendors already realized the popularity of Linux and started making Linux compliant hardware/drivers. When running the OS on older hardware, Windows is slower.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Linux distros like Lubuntu, Knoppix, LXLE, antiX, Puppy Linux are best suitable for aging machines. Old horses like 386 or 486 machines with decent RAM (>= 124/256) can run Linux.
|
||||
|
||||
### 5. Software
|
||||
|
||||
No doubt that Windows has a large set of commercial software available. Linux, on the other hand, makes use of open source software available for free. Linux armed with easy to use package managers which aid in installing and un-installing desired software applications. Linux is armed with decent desktop themes certainly run faster than Windows.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
For developers, the Linux terminal offers superior environment when compared to Windows. The exhaustive GNU compilers and utilities will be definitely useful for programming. Administrators can make use of package managers to manage software and of course, Linux has the unbeatable CLI interface.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Have you heard about Tiny Core Linux? It comes at only 11MB size with the graphical desktop environment. You can choose to install from the hundreds of available Linux distros based on your need. Following table presents a partial list of Linux distros filtered based on need:
|
||||
|
||||
[][9]
|
||||
|
||||
### 6. Security
|
||||
|
||||
[][10]
|
||||
|
||||
Microsoft Windows OS is infamous for being vulnerable to malware, trojans, and viruses. Linux is almost non-vulnerable and more secure due to its inherent design. Linux does not require the use of commercial anti-virus/anti-malware packages.
|
||||
|
||||
Linux respects privacy. Unlike windows, it does not generate logs and upload data from your machine. A user should be well aware of Windows privacy policy.
|
||||
|
||||
### 7. Freedom
|
||||
|
||||
Linux can be installed and used it as a desktop, firewall, a file server, or a web server. Linux allows a user to control every aspect of the operating systems. As Linux is an open-source operating system, it allows a user to modify its source (even source code of applications) itself as per the user requirements. Linux allows the user to install only the desired software nothing else (no bloatware). Linux allows full freedom to install open source applications its vast repository. Windows will bore you with its default desktop theme whereas with Linux you can choose from many desktop themes available.
|
||||
|
||||
You can breathe fresh air after choosing a Linux distro from an available list of Linux distros.
|
||||
|
||||
With USB live-mode option, you can give a try to test a Linux distro before you finalize one for you. Booting via live-mode does not install the OS on a hard disk. Just go and give a try, you will fall in love.
|
||||
|
||||
### 8. Annoying crashes and reboots
|
||||
|
||||
There are times when Windows suddenly shows an annoying message saying that the machine needs to be restarted. Apart from showing “Applying update of 5 of 361.” kind messages, Windows will confuse you with several types of updates critical, security, definition, update rollup, service pack, tool, feature pack. I did not remember how many times the Windows rebooted last time to apply an update.
|
||||
|
||||
When undergoing a software update or installing/uninstalling software on Linux systems, generally it does not need a machine reboot. Most of the system configuration changes can be done while the system is up.
|
||||
|
||||
### 9. Server segment
|
||||
|
||||
[][11]
|
||||
|
||||
Linux is installed on the majority of servers demonstrating that it is the best choice with the minimal resource footprint. Even rivals are using Linux on their offerings. As software applications are moving to cloud platforms, windows servers are getting phased out to make room for Linux servers. Majority of the supercomputers to run on Linux.
|
||||
|
||||
Though the battle between Linux and Windows continue in desktop-segment when comes to server-segment Linux evolves as a clear winner. Organizations rely on servers because they want their applications to run 24x7x365 with no or limited downtime. Linux already became favorite of most of the datacenters.
|
||||
|
||||
### 10. Linux is everywhere
|
||||
|
||||
[][12]
|
||||
|
||||
Yes, Linux is everywhere. From smallest device to largest supercomputers, Linux is everywhere. It can be a car, router, phone, medical devices, plane, TV, satellite, watch or school tablet, Linux will be there.
|
||||
|
||||
The inventor Linus Torvalds himself would not have imagined about this kind of success when he was writing the Linux kernel first time. Kudos to Linus and Stallman for their contribution.
|
||||
|
||||
## Conclusion
|
||||
|
||||
There is a saying - variety is the spice of life. It is true with respect to Linux distros. There are more than 600 active different distros to choose. Each is different on its own and meant for the specific purpose. Linux distros are highly customizable when compared to Windows. The above reasons mentioned are is just the tip of the iceberg. There is so much more than you could with Linux. Linux is powerful, flexible, secure, reliable, stable, fun… than Windows. One should always keep in mind that - free is not the best just like expensive is not the best. Linux will undoubtedly emerge as the winner when all aspects are considered. There is no reason why you would not choose Linux instead of Windows. Let us know your thoughts how you feel about Linux.

VLC is one of the most famous open source media players out there. The player has options to stream your music from, it is easy to use and even plays any time of media. It has tons of features for you to discover such as recording music streams, updating cover art for your tracks and even has an equaliser you can tweak around with so that your music comes out the way you want it to. You can add your own skins, or download and apply them, mess with the UI of the app to your preferences. To install, type the following commands into the terminal:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install vlc
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Harmony
|
||||
|
||||
[][10]
|
||||
|
||||
Harmony is an almost free online music streaming application. It’s almost free because you have an untimed free version that you can upgrade to a one time paid version. The free version has that annoying dialog reminding you to upgrade your installation. It has a great user interface and easy to use. It also has the capability of playing local files. You can install any compatible plugin of your choice thus getting more from your music player. It has multiple streaming sources options so that you can enjoy the most out of the Internet. All you have to do is enable the source you wish to stream media from and you are good to go.
|
||||
|
||||
In order to get the application on your machine, you will need to install using the official .deb file. To get the application, you will have to get it from the official site
|
||||
|
||||
[here][11]
|
||||
|
||||
. I would have wished if the creators of this app made an official PPA that one could use to install via the terminal.
|
||||
|
||||
### Mellow Player
|
||||
|
||||
[][12]
|
||||
|
||||
The Mellow player is an across-platform open source and free music player that allows you to play online music. Mellow player has over 16 supported online music services that you can choose to stream from. There are options to install plugins that lets you install the service you want. If you want to install it, you will have to get it from the official site
|
||||
|
||||
[here][13]
|
||||
|
||||
. It comes in form of an app image that is easy to install since it doesn’t mess with other files since all required files come sandboxed as an app image. When you download the file, you will need to change the file properties by typing the following commands in the terminal:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
chmod +x MellowPlayer-x86_64.AppImage
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Then running it as follows:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
sudo ./MellowPlayer-x86_64.AppImage
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Conclusion
|
||||
|
||||
There are plenty of Linux music players out there but those are the best you would want to try out. All in all, the music players have their pros and cons, but the most important part is to sit down, open the app, start streaming your music and relax. The music players may or may not meet your expectations, but don’t forget to enjoy the next app incase the first isn’t for you. Enjoy!

PlayOnLinux For Easier Use Of Wine
|
||||
======
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
[PlayOnLinux][1] is a free program that helps to install, run, and manage Windows software on Linux. It can also manage virtual C: drives (known as Wine prefixes), and download and install certain Windows libraries for getting some software to run on Wine properly. Creating different drives using different Wine versions is also possible. It is very handy because what runs well in one version may not run as well (if at all) on a newer version. There is [PlayOnMac][2] for macOS and PlayOnBSD for FreeBSD.
|
||||
|
||||
[Wine][3] is the compatibility layer that allows many programs developed for Windows to run under operating systems such as Linux, FreeBSD, macOS and other UNIX systems. The app database ([AppDB][4]) gives users an overview of a multitude of programs that will function on Wine, however successfully.
|
||||
|
||||
Both programs can be obtained using your distribution’s software center or package manager for convenience.
|
||||
|
||||
### Installing Programs Using PlayOnLinux
|
||||
|
||||
Installing software is easy. PlayOnLinux has hundreds of scripts to aid in installing different software with which to run the setup. In the sidebar, select “Install Software”. You will find several categories to choose from.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Hundreds of games can be installed this way.
|
||||
|
||||
[][5]
|
||||
|
||||
Office software can be installed as well, including Microsoft Office as shown here.
|
||||
|
||||
[][6]
|
||||
|
||||
Let’s install Notepad++ using the script. You can select the script to read the compatibility rating according to PlayOnLinux, and an overview of the program. To get a better idea of compatibility, refer to the WineHQ App Database and find “Browse Apps” to find a program like Notepad++.
|
||||
|
||||
[][7]
|
||||
|
||||
Once you press “Install”, if you are using PlayOnLinux for the first time, you will encounter two popups: one to give you tips when installing programs with a script, and the other to not submit bug reports to WineHQ because PlayOnLinux has nothing to do with them.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
During the installation, I was given the choice to either download the setup executable, or select one on the computer. I downloaded the file but received a File Mismatch error; however, I continued and it was successful. It’s not perfect, but it is functional. (It is possible to submit bug reports to PlayOnLinux if the option is given.)
|
||||
|
||||
[][8]
|
||||
|
||||
Nevertheless, I was able to install Notepad++ successfully, run it, and update it to the latest version (at the time of writing 7.5.3) from version 7.4.2.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Also during installation, it created a virtual C: drive specifically for Notepad++. As there are no other Wine versions available for PlayOnLinux to use, it defaults to using the version installed on the system. In this case, it is more than adequate for Notepad++ to run smoothly.
|
||||
|
||||
### Installing Non-Listed Programs
|
||||
|
||||
You can also install a program that is not on the list by pressing “Install Non-Listed Program” on the bottom-left corner of the install menu. Bear in mind that there is no script to install certain libraries to make things work properly. You will need to do this yourself. Look at the Wine AppDB for information for your program. Also, if the app isn’t listed, it doesn’t mean that it won’t work with Wine. It just means no one has given any information about it.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
I’ve installed Graphmatica, a graph plotting program, using this method. First I selected the option to install it on a new virtual drive.
|
||||
|
||||
[][9]
|
||||
|
||||
Then I selected the option to install additional libraries after creating the drive and select a Wine version to use in doing so.
|
||||
|
||||
[][10]
|
||||
|
||||
I then proceeded to select Gecko (which encountered an error for some reason), and Mono 2.10 to install.
|
||||
|
||||
[][11]
|
||||
|
||||
Finally, I installed Graphmatica. It’s as simple as that.
|
||||
|
||||
[][12]
|
||||
|
||||
A launcher can be created after installation. A list of executables found in the drive will appear. Search for the app executable (may not always be obvious) which may have its icon, select it and give it a display name. The icon will appear on the desktop.
|
||||
|
||||
[][13]
|
||||
[][14]
|
||||
|
||||
### Multiple “C:” Drives
|
||||
|
||||
Now that we have easily installed a program, let’s have a look at the drive configuration. In the main window, press “Configure” in the toolbar and this window will show.
|
||||
|
||||
[][15]
|
||||
|
||||
On the left are the drives that are found within PlayOnLinux. To the right, the “General” tab allows you to create shortcuts of programs installed on that virtual drive.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The “Wine” tab has 8 buttons, including those to launch the Wine configuration program (winecfg), control panel, registry editor, command prompt, etc.
|
||||
|
||||
[][16]
|
||||
|
||||
“Install Components” allows you to select different Windows libraries like DirectX 9, .NET Framework versions 2 – 4.5, Visual C++ runtime, etc., like [winetricks][17].
|
||||
|
||||
[][18]
|
||||
|
||||
“Display” allows the user to control advanced graphics settings like GLSL support, video memory size, and more. And “Miscellaneous” is for other actions like running an executable found anywhere on the computer to be run under the selected virtual drive.
|
||||
|
||||
### Creating Virtual Drives Without Installing Programs
|
||||
|
||||
To create a drive without installing software, simply press “New” below the list of drives to launch the virtual drive creator. Drives are created using the same method used in installing programs not found in the install menu. Follow the prompts, select either a 32-bit or 64-bit installation (in this case we only have 32-bit versions so select 32-bit), choose the Wine version, and give the drive a name. Once completed, it will appear in the drive list.
|
||||
|
||||
[][19]
|
||||
|
||||
### Managing Wine Versions
|
||||
|
||||
Entire Wine versions can be downloaded using the manager. To access this through the menu bar, press “Tools” and select “Manage Wine versions”. Sometimes different software can behave differently between Wine versions. A Wine update can break something that made your application work in the previous version; thus rendering the application broken or completely unusable. Therefore, this feature is one of the highlights of PlayOnLinux.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
If you’re still on the configuration window, in the “General” tab, you can also access the version manager by pressing the “+” button next to the Wine version field.
|
||||
|
||||
[][20]
|
||||
|
||||
To install a version of Wine (32-bit or 64-bit), simply select the version, and press the “>” button to download and install it. After installation, if setup executables for Mono, and/or the Gecko HTML engine have not yet been downloaded by PlayOnLinux, they will be downloaded.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
I went ahead and installed the 2.21-staging version of Wine afterward.
|
||||
|
||||
[][21]
|
||||
|
||||
To remove a version, press the “<” button.
|
||||
|
||||
### Conclusion
|
||||
|
||||
This article demonstrated how to use PlayOnLinux to easily install Windows software into separate virtual C: drives, create and manage virtual drives, and manage several Wine versions. The software isn’t perfect, but it is still functional and useful. Managing different drives with different Wine versions is one of the key features of PlayOnLinux. It is a lot easier to use a front-end for Wine such as PlayOnLinux than pure Wine.
