A Linux User Using ‘Windows 10′ After More than 8 Years – See Comparison
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
Windows 10 is the newest member of windows NT family of which general availability was made on July 29, 2015. It is the successor of Windows 8.1. Windows 10 is supported on Intel Architecture 32 bit, AMD64 and ARMv7 processors.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Windows 10 and Linux Comparison
|
||||
|
||||
As a Linux-user for more than 8 continuous years, I thought to test Windows 10, as it is making a lots of news these days. This article is a breakthrough of my observation. I will be seeing everything from the perspective of a Linux user so you may find it a bit biased towards Linux but with absolutely no false information.
|
||||
|
||||
1. I searched Google with the text “download windows 10” and clicked the first link.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Search Windows 10
|
||||
|
||||
You may directly go to link : [https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10ISO][1]
|
||||
|
||||
2. I was supposed to select a edition from ‘windows 10‘, ‘windows 10 KN‘, ‘windows 10 N‘ and ‘windows 10 single language‘.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Select Windows 10 Edition
|
||||
|
||||
For those who want to know details of different editions of Windows 10, here is the brief details of editions.
|
||||
|
||||
- Windows 10 – Contains everything offered by Microsoft for this OS.
|
||||
- Windows 10N – This edition comes without Media-player.
|
||||
- Windows 10KN – This edition comes without media playing capabilities.
|
||||
- Windows 10 Single Language – Only one Language Pre-installed.
|
||||
|
||||
3. I selected the first option ‘Windows 10‘ and clicked ‘Confirm‘. Then I was supposed to select a product language. I choose ‘English‘.
|
||||
|
||||
I was provided with Two Download Links. One for 32-bit and other for 64-bit. I clicked 64-bit, as per my architecture.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Download Windows 10
|
||||
|
||||
With my download speed (15Mbps), it took me 3 long hours to download it. Unfortunately there were no torrent file to download the OS, which could otherwise have made the overall process smooth. The OS iso image size is 3.8 GB.
|
||||
|
||||
I could not find an image of smaller size but again the truth is there don’t exist net-installer image like things for Windows. Also there is no way to calculate hash value after the iso image has been downloaded.
|
||||
|
||||
Wonder why so ignorance from windows on such issues. To verify if the iso is downloaded correctly I need to write the image to a disk or to a USB flash drive and then boot my system and keep my finger crossed till the setup is finished.
|
||||
|
||||
Lets start. I made my USB flash drive bootable with the windows 10 iso using dd command, as:
|
||||
|
||||
# dd if=/home/avi/Downloads/Win10_English_x64.iso of=/dev/sdb1 bs=512M; sync
|
||||
|
||||
It took a few minutes to complete the process. I then rebooted the system and choose to boot from USB flash Drive in my UEFI (BIOS) settings.
|
||||
|
||||
#### System Requirements ####
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### Installation of Windows 10 ###
|
||||
|
||||
1. Windows 10 boots. Yet again they changed the logo. Also no information on whats going on.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Windows 10 Logo
|
||||
|
||||
2. Selected Language to install, Time & currency format and keyboard & Input methods before clicking Next.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Select Language and Time
|
||||
|
||||
3. And then ‘Install Now‘ Menu.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Install Windows 10
|
||||
|
||||
4. The next screen is asking for Product key. I clicked ‘skip’.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Windows 10 Product Key
|
||||
|
||||
5. Choose from a listed OS. I chose ‘windows 10 pro‘.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Select Install Operating System
|
||||
|
||||
6. oh yes the license agreement. Put a check mark against ‘I accept the license terms‘ and click next.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Accept License
|
||||
|
||||
7. Next was to upgrade (to windows 10 from previous versions of windows) and Install Windows. Don’t know why custom: Windows Install only is suggested as advanced by windows. Anyway I chose to Install windows only.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Select Installation Type
|
||||
|
||||
8. Selected the file-system and clicked ‘next’.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Select Install Drive
|
||||
|
||||
9. The installer started to copy files, getting files ready for installation, installing features, installing updates and finishing up. It would be better if the installer would have shown verbose output on the action is it taking.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Installing Windows
|
||||
|
||||
10. And then windows restarted. They said reboot was needed to continue.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Windows Installation Process
|
||||
|
||||
11. And then all I got was the below screen which reads “Getting Ready”. It took 5+ minutes at this point. No idea what was going on. No output.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Windows Getting Ready
|
||||
|
||||
12. yet again, it was time to “Enter Product Key”. I clicked “Do this later” and then used expressed settings.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Enter Product Key
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Select Express Settings
|
||||
|
||||
14. And then three more output screens, where I as a Linuxer expected that the Installer will tell me what it is doing but all in vain.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Loading Windows
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Getting Updates
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Still Loading Windows
|
||||
|
||||
15. And then the installer wanted to know who owns this machine “My organization” or I myself. Chose “I own it” and then next.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Select Organization
|
||||
|
||||
16. Installer prompted me to join “Azure Ad” or “Join a domain”, before I can click ‘continue’. I chooses the later option.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Connect Windows
|
||||
|
||||
17. The Installer wants me to create an account. So I entered user_name and clicked ‘Next‘, I was expecting an error message that I must enter a password.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Create Account
|
||||
|
||||
18. To my surprise Windows didn’t even showed warning/notification that I must create password. Such a negligence. Anyway I got my desktop.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Windows 10 Desktop
|
||||
|
||||
#### Experience of a Linux-user (Myself) till now ####
|
||||
|
||||
- No Net-installer Image
|
||||
- Image size too heavy
|
||||
- No way to check the integrity of iso downloaded (no hash check)
|
||||
- The booting and installation remains same as it was in XP, Windows 7 and 8 perhaps.
|
||||
- As usual no output on what windows Installer is doing – What file copying or what package installing.
|
||||
- Installation was straight forward and easy as compared to the installation of a Linux distribution.
|
||||
|
||||
### Windows 10 Testing ###
|
||||
|
||||
19. The default Desktop is clean. It has a recycle bin Icon on the default desktop. Search web directly from the desktop itself. Additionally icons for Task viewing, Internet browsing, folder browsing and Microsoft store is there. As usual notification bar is present on the bottom right to sum up desktop.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Deskop Shortcut Icons
|
||||
|
||||
20. Internet Explorer replaced with Microsoft Edge. Windows 10 has replace the legacy web browser Internet Explorer also known as IE with Edge aka project spartan.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Microsoft Edge Browser
|
||||
|
||||
It is fast at least as compared to IE (as it seems it testing). Familiar user Interface. The home screen contains news feed updates. There is also a search bar title that reads ‘Where to next?‘. The browser loads time is considerably low which result in improving overall speed and performance. The memory usages of Edge seems normal.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Windows Performance
|
||||
|
||||
Edge has got cortana – Intelligent Personal Assistant, Support for chrome-extension, web Note – Take notes while Browsing, Share – Right from the tab without opening any other TAB.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Experience of a Linux-user (Myself) on this point ####
|
||||
|
||||
21. Microsoft has really improved web browsing. Lets see how stable and fine it remains. It don’t lag as of now.
|
||||
|
||||
22. Though RAM usages by Edge was fine for me, a lots of users are complaining that Edge is notorious for Excessive RAM Usages.
|
||||
|
||||
23. Difficult to say at this point if Edge is ready to compete with Chrome and/or Firefox at this point of time. Lets see what future unfolds.
|
||||
|
||||
#### A few more Virtual Tour ####
|
||||
|
||||
24. Start Menu redesigned – Seems clear and effective. Metro icons make it live. Populated with most commonly applications viz., Calendar, Mail, Edge, Photos, Contact, Temperature, Companion suite, OneNote, Store, Xbox, Music, Movies & TV, Money, News, Store, etc.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Windows Look and Feel
|
||||
|
||||
In Linux on Gnome Desktop Environment, I use to search required applications simply by pressing windows key and then type the name of the application.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Search Within Desktop
|
||||
|
||||
25. File Explorer – seems clear Designing. Edges are sharp. In the left pane there is link to quick access folders.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Windows File Explorer
|
||||
|
||||
Equally clear and effective file explorer on Gnome Desktop Environment on Linux. Removed UN-necessary graphics and images from icons is a plus point.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
File Browser on Gnome
|
||||
|
||||
26. Settings – Though the settings are a bit refined on Windows 10, you may compare it with the settings on a Linux Box.
|
||||
|
||||
**Settings on Windows**
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||

||||
|
||||
**Setting on Linux Gnome**
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Gnome Settings
|
||||
|
||||
27. List of Applications – List of Application on Linux is better than what they use to provide (based upon my memory, when I was a regular windows user) but still it stands low as compared to how Gnome3 list application.
|
||||
|
||||
**Application Listed by Windows**

||||

||||

||||

||||

|
||||
|
||||
28. Virtual Desktop – Virtual Desktop feature of Windows 10 is one of those topic which are very much talked about these days.
|
||||
|
||||
Here is the virtual Desktop in Windows 10.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
and the virtual Desktop on Linux we are using for more than 2 decades.
|
||||

||||
|
||||
|
||||
Virtual Desktop on Linux
|
||||
|
||||
#### A few other features of Windows 10 ####
|
||||
|
||||
29. Windows 10 comes with wi-fi sense. It shares your password with others. Anyone who is in the range of your wi-fi and connected to you over Skype, Outlook, Hotmail or Facebook can be granted access to your wifi network. And mind it this feature has been added as a feature by microsoft to save time and hassle-free connection.
|
||||
|
||||
In a reply to question raised by Tecmint, Microsoft said – The user has to agree to enable wifi sense, everytime on a new network. oh! What a pathetic taste as far as security is concerned. I am not convinced.
|
||||
|
||||
30. Up-gradation from Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 is free though the retail cost of Home and pro editions are approximately $119 and $199 respectively.
|
||||
|
||||
31. Microsoft released first cumulative update for windows 10, which is said to put system into endless crash loop for a few people. Windows perhaps don’t understand such problem or don’t want to work on that part don’t know why.
|
||||
|
||||
32. Microsoft’s inbuilt utility to block/hide unwanted updates don’t work in my case. This means If a update is there, there is no way to block/hide it. Sorry windows users!
|
||||
|
||||
#### A few features native to Linux that windows 10 have ####
|
||||
|
||||
Windows 10 has a lots of features that were taken directly from Linux. If Linux were not released under GNU License perhaps Microsoft would never had the below features.
|
||||
|
||||
33. Command-line package management – Yup! You heard it right. Windows 10 has a built-in package management. It works only in Windows Power Shell. OneGet is the official package manager for windows. Windows package manager in action.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Windows 10 Package Manager
|
||||
|
||||
- Border-less windows
|
||||
- Flat Icons
|
||||
- Virtual Desktop
|
||||
- One search for Online+offline search
|
||||
- Convergence of mobile and desktop OS
|
||||
|
||||
### Overall Conclusion ###
|
||||
|
||||
- Improved responsiveness
|
||||
- Well implemented Animation
|
||||
- low on resource
|
||||
- Improved battery life
|
||||
- Microsoft Edge web-browser is rock solid
|
||||
- Supported on Raspberry pi 2.
|
||||
- It is good because windows 8/8.1 was not upto mark and really bad.
|
||||
- It is a the same old wine in new bottle. Almost the same things with brushed up icons.
|
||||
|
||||
What my testing suggest is Windows 10 has improved on a few things like look and feel (as windows always did), +1 for Project spartan, Virtual Desktop, Command-line package management, one search for online and offline search. It is overall an improved product but those who thinks that Windows 10 will prove to be the last nail in the coffin of Linux are mistaken.
|
||||
|
||||
Linux is years ahead of Windows. Their approach is different. In near future windows won’t stand anywhere around Linux and there is nothing for which a Linux user need to go to Windows 10.
|
||||
|
||||
That’s all for now. Hope you liked the post. I will be here again with another interesting post you people will love to read. Provide us with your valuable feedback in the comments below.

Debian GNU/Linux Birthday : A 22 Years of Journey and Still Counting…
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
On 16th August 2015, the Debian project has celebrated its 22nd anniversary, making it one of the oldest popular distribution in open source world. Debian project was conceived and founded in the year 1993 by Ian Murdock. By that time Slackware had already made a remarkable presence as one of the earliest Linux Distribution.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Happy 22nd Birthday to Debian Linux
|
||||
|
||||
Ian Ashley Murdock, an American Software Engineer by profession, conceived the idea of Debian project, when he was a student of Purdue University. He named the project Debian after the name of his then-girlfriend Debra Lynn (Deb) and his name. He later married her and then got divorced in January 2008.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Debian Creator: Ian Murdock
|
||||
|
||||
Ian is currently serving as Vice President of Platform and Development Community at ExactTarget.
|
||||
|
||||
Debian (as Slackware) was the result of unavailability of up-to mark Linux Distribution, that time. Ian in an interview said – “Providing the first class Product without profit would be the sole aim of Debian Project. Even Linux was not reliable and up-to mark that time. I Remember…. Moving files between file-system and dealing with voluminous file would often result in Kernel Panic. However the project Linux was promising. The availability of Source Code freely and the potential it seemed was qualitative.”
|
||||
|
||||
I remember … like everyone else I wanted to solve problem, run something like UNIX at home, but it was not possible…neither financially nor legally, in the other sense . Then I come to know about GNU kernel Development and its non-association with any kind of legal issues, he added. He was sponsored by Free Software Foundation (FSF) in the early days when he was working on Debian, it also helped Debian to take a giant step though Ian needed to finish his degree and hence quited FSF roughly after one year of sponsorship.

|
||||
|
||||
### Debian Facts ###
|
||||
|
||||
Year 1994 was spent on organizing and managing Debian project so that it would be easy for others to contribute. Hence no release for users were made this year however there were certain internal release.
|
||||
|
||||
Debian 1.0 was never released. A CDROM manufacturer company by mistakenly labelled an unreleased version as Debian 1.0. Hence to avoid confusion Debian 1.0 was released as Debian 1.1 and since then only the concept of official CDROM images came into existence.
|
||||
|
||||
Each release of Debian is a character of Toy Story.
|
||||
|
||||
Debian remains available in old stable, stable, testing and experimental, all the time.
|
||||
|
||||
The Debian Project continues to work on the unstable distribution (codenamed sid, after the evil kid from the Toy Story). Sid is the permanent name for the unstable distribution and is remains ‘Still In Development’. The testing release is intended to become the next stable release and is currently codenamed jessie.
|
||||
|
||||
Debian official distribution includes only Free and OpenSource Software and nothing else. However the availability of contrib and Non-free Packages makes it possible to install those packages which are free but their dependencies are not licensed free (contrib) and Packages licensed under non-free softwares.
|
||||
|
||||
Debian is the mother of a lot of Linux distribution. Some of these Includes:
|
||||
|
||||
- Damn Small Linux
|
||||
- KNOPPIX
|
||||
- Linux Advanced
|
||||
- MEPIS
|
||||
- Ubuntu
|
||||
- 64studio (No more active)
|
||||
- LMDE
|
||||

International Space station dropped Windows & Red Hat for adopting Debian – These astronauts are using one release back – now “squeeze” for stability and strength from community.

Thank God! Who would have heard the scream from space on Windows Metro Screen :P

#### The Black Wednesday ####
|
||||
|
||||
On November 20th, 2002 the University of Twente Network Operation Center (NOC) caught fire. The fire department gave up protecting the server area. NOC hosted satie.debian.org which included Security, non-US archive, New Maintainer, quality assurance, databases – Everything was turned to ashes. Later these services were re-built by debian.
|
||||
|
||||
#### The Future Distro ####
|
||||
|
||||
Next in the list is Debian 9, code name – Stretch, what it will have is yet to be revealed. The best is yet to come, Just Wait for it!
|
||||
|
||||
A lot of distribution made an appearance in Linux Distro genre and then disappeared. In most cases managing as it gets bigger was a concern. But certainly this is not the case with Debian. It has hundreds of thousands of developer and maintainer all across the globe. It is a one Distro which was there from the initial days of Linux.
|
||||
|
||||
The contribution of Debian in Linux ecosystem can’t be measured in words. If there had been no Debian, Linux would not have been so rich and user-friendly. Debian is among one of the disto which is considered highly reliable, secure and stable and a perfect choice for Web Servers.
|
||||
|
||||
That’s the beginning of Debian. It came a long way and still going. The Future is Here! The world is here! If you have not used Debian till now, What are you Waiting for. Just Download Your Image and get started, we will be here if you get into trouble.

How to monitor stock quotes from the command line on Linux
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
If you are one of those stock investors or traders, monitoring the stock market will be one of your daily routines. Most likely you will be using an online trading platform which comes with some fancy real-time charts and all sort of advanced stock analysis and tracking tools. While such sophisticated market research tools are a must for any serious stock investors to read the market, monitoring the latest stock quotes still goes a long way to build a profitable portfolio.
|
||||
|
||||
If you are a full-time system admin constantly sitting in front of terminals while trading stocks as a hobby during the day, a simple command-line tool that shows real-time stock quotes will be a blessing for you.
|
||||
|
||||
In this tutorial, let me introduce a neat command-line tool that allows you to monitor stock quotes from the command line on Linux.
|
||||
|
||||
This tool is called [Mop][1]. Written in Go, this lightweight command-line tool is extremely handy for tracking the latest stock quotes from the U.S. markets. You can easily customize the list of stocks to monitor, and it shows the latest stock quotes in ncurses-based, easy-to-read interface.
|
||||
|
||||
**Note**: Mop obtains the latest stock quotes via Yahoo! Finance API. Be aware that their stock quotes are known to be delayed by 15 minutes. So if you are looking for "real-time" stock quotes with zero delay, Mop is not a tool for you. Such "live" stock quote feeds are usually available for a fee via some proprietary closed-door interface. With that being said, let's see how you can use Mop under Linux environment.
|
||||
|
||||
### Install Mop on Linux ###
|
||||
|
||||
Since Mop is implemented in Go, you will need to install Go language first. If you don't have Go installed, follow [this guide][2] to install Go on your Linux platform. Make sure to set GOPATH environment variable as described in the guide.
|
||||
|
||||
Once Go is installed, proceed to install Mop as follows.
|
||||
|
||||
**Debian, Ubuntu or Linux Mint**
|
||||
|
||||
$ sudo apt-get install git
|
||||
$ go get github.com/michaeldv/mop
|
||||
$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/michaeldv/mop
|
||||
$ make install
|
||||
|
||||
Fedora, CentOS, RHEL
|
||||
|
||||
$ sudo yum install git
|
||||
$ go get github.com/michaeldv/mop
|
||||
$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/michaeldv/mop
|
||||
$ make install
|
||||
|
||||
The above commands will install Mop under $GOPATH/bin.
|
||||
|
||||
Now edit your .bashrc to include $GOPATH/bin in your PATH variable.
|
||||
|
||||
export PATH="$PATH:$GOPATH/bin"
|
||||
|
||||
----------
|
||||
|
||||
$ source ~/.bashrc
|
||||
|
||||
### Monitor Stock Quotes from the Command Line with Mop ###
|
||||
|
||||
To launch Mod, simply run the command called cmd.
|
||||
|
||||
$ cmd
|
||||
|
||||
At the first launch, you will see a few stock tickers which Mop comes pre-configured with.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The quotes show information like the latest price, %change, daily low/high, 52-week low/high, dividend, and annual yield. Mop obtains market overview information from [CNN][3], and individual stock quotes from [Yahoo Finance][4]. The stock quote information updates itself within the terminal periodically.
|
||||
|
||||
### Customize Stock Quotes in Mop ###
|
||||
|
||||
Let's try customizing the stock list. Mop provides easy-to-remember shortcuts for this: '+' to add a new stock, and '-' to remove a stock.
|
||||
|
||||
To add a new stock, press '+', and type a stock ticker symbol to add (e.g., MSFT). You can add more than one stock at once by typing a comma-separated list of tickers (e.g., "MSFT, AMZN, TSLA").
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Removing stocks from the list can be done similarly by pressing '-'.
|
||||
|
||||
### Sort Stock Quotes in Mop ###
|
||||
|
||||
You can sort the stock quote list based on any column. To sort, press 'o', and use left/right key to choose the column to sort by. When a particular column is chosen, you can sort the list either in increasing order or in decreasing order by pressing ENTER.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
By pressing 'g', you can group your stocks based on whether they are advancing or declining for the day. Advancing issues are represented in green color, while declining issues are colored in white.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to access help page, simply press '?'.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Conclusion ###
|
||||
|
||||
As you can see, Mop is a lightweight, yet extremely handy stock monitoring tool. Of course you can easily access stock quotes information elsewhere, from online websites, your smartphone, etc. However, if you spend a great deal of your time in a terminal environment, Mop can easily fit in to your workspace, hopefully without distracting must of your workflow. Just let it run and continuously update market date in one of your terminals, and be done with it.
|
||||
|
||||
Happy trading!
