Portmaster 1.0 Release Marks it as a Solid Open-Source Application Firewall for Privacy-Focused Users
======
Portmaster is an all-in-one open-source privacy tool that you probably need. Give it a try!
![Portmaster 1.0 Release Marks it as a Solid Open-Source Application Firewall for Privacy-Focused Users][1]
Portmaster by [Safing][2] is a free and open-source application firewall that aims to automate the process of protecting the privacy of its users.
**It allows you to monitor network activity, add custom connection rules for applications, and more.**
We tested it during the alpha stage, and came to the conclusion that it had good potential to act as a viable alternative to [GlassWire][3]. Of course, it may not be a replacement, but it can be one in the near future:
With the release of Portmaster 1.0, we can recommend everyone to give it a try.
> 💡Portmaster 1.0 is a stable release suitable for every user.
### 🆕 Portmaster 1.0: What's New?
![portmaster 1.0][4]
Considering this is Portmaster's first stable release, there could be room for improvement.
However, some of the features that it brings with it include:
- **Easy navigation to monitor app network connections**
- **Secure DNS by default**
- **Automatic blocking of trackers & malware**
#### Automatic Blocking Of Trackers & Malware
![portmaster 1.0 filter lists][5]
Portmaster lets you automatically block various trackers and malware by using well-known filter lists from the likes of [AdAway][6], [abuse.ch][7], [AdGuard][8], and a few of their curated lists.
#### Side-Dash Menu
![portmaster 1.0 side dash menu][9]
The presence of sidebar menu in Portmaster makes things easy, meaning it acts as a quick switcher between apps and settings.
![portmaster side-dash][10]
It also shows key information regarding apps that are using the network.
Additionally, suppose you are using their [paid SPN service][11] (or Portmaster Unlimited). In that case, you can use the Side-Dash to see which countries each app connects to, alongside the number of identities in use.
![portmaster 1.0 country identity details][12]
#### Other Features
![allow or block connections][13]
In addition to the key highlights, it also gives you some powerful abilities that include:
- **Choose your favorite DNS-over-TLS provider, like Cloudflare, Quad9, AdGuard, etc., to encrypt DNS requests.**
- **Allow/Block specific websites or applications.**
- **Specify if you do not want your apps to connect to specific countries.**
- **Block all p2p connections.**
### 📥 Download Portmaster 1.0
Portmaster is currently only available for Windows and Linux, with no news on the release of a macOS version.
They plan to support mobile platforms in the future as well.
You can visit its official [downloads page][14] to get started for Linux (.deb/.rpm packages) and Windows.
Explore more about the project on its [GitHub page][15].
[Portmaster 1.0][14]
### 💭 My Thoughts
Portmaster aims to succeed in a space where GlassWire is a very well-known name. It is easy to use and offers an intuitive experience.
**But, GlassWire is not open-source and does not have a client for Linux.**
With further refinements, I think it would be an impressive addition to every privacy-conscious computer user.
Of course, a free and open-source alternative to any proprietary tool is a good thing, as it enables more users to try it out.
And, Portmaster is something that helps you monitor your network connections and automate your privacy protections, I think you should take it for a spin! 😊
💬 Is Portmaster a good application firewall for your use-case? What do you think about it?

OpenSSL 3.0.7 Fixes Two High-CVEs with Buffer Overflow
======
![][1]
**OpenSSL 3.0.7, released today, fixes two critical security issues that have caused panic since last week.**
### OpenSSL 3.0.7 release
The highly anticipated OpenSSL 3.0.7 is now released, fixing two high-severity CVEs. All the major Linux distributions across desktops and, most importantly, server admins have been waiting for this fix since it was reported last week by the OpenSSL team. Due to the criticality of this package, some distro releases got delayed (such as [Fedora 37][2]), and probably some patching activities across the industry.
Both the high severity fixes are due to buffer overrun, which impacts the entire OpenSSL 3.0.0 series (i.e. from 3.0.0 to 3.0.6). Alarming, it may sound, but these two vulnerabilities have been out in the wild for almost a year since the 3.0.0 release in 2021.
The first [CVE-2022-3786][3] triggers when a malicious email address with arbitrary payload with character “.” (decimal 46). The second vulnerability, CVE-2022-3602, also deals with another payload with the same email address in name constraints, checking for X.509 certificates.
### Distro Patching
As of publishing this, major distros (Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, RedHat) are yet to update their OpenSSL package with version 3.0.7.
So, as soon as it arrives, make sure you update your desktops and servers immediately. This is critical for those who deal with TLS-based authentication over remote connections to various servers.
Keep a watch on the below pages for updated packages for major Linux distributions.
- [Ubuntu][4] (Jammy)
- [Fedora][5]
- [Debian][6] (Bookworm, testing)
Arch Linux folks are superfast, it seems. It’s already in the[staging repo][7]within two hours of the release!

Grafana Phlare is a New Scalable Open-Source Database to Enhance Observability
======
Grafana Phlare aims to be a scalable, durable, cheap, and open-source database for continuous profiling data.
![Grafana Phlare is a New Scalable Open-Source Database to Enhance Observability][1]
[Grafana][2] is a popular open-source data visualization tool that supports various object storage and cloud services.
To improve on what they offer, Grafana has announced a **new open-source database for continuous profiling data** that helps enhance the monitoring of servers (or your application), making life easier for performance engineers and enterprises.
### Open Source Database for Continuous Profiling
![Introducing Grafana Phlare][3]
Credits: Grafana Labs
> 💡Continuous Profiling is a dynamic method of analyzing key performance metrics of a server, such as CPU utilization, memory usage, and more, at any period of time.
Grafana Phlare is a highly scalable database that aims to provide users with a long-term storage solution for continuous profiling data.
The core features involve:
- **Easy to install**
- **Horizontal scalability**
- **High availability**
- **Cheap, durable profile storage**
- **Natively multi-tenant (enabling independent teams to share the same database)**
You would say that: there are already a few similar open-source projects. And you wouldn't be wrong.
But, the team behind Phlare mentioned that those tools were not reliable or scalable enough to meet Grafana Labs' continuous profiling needs.
> So we decided to get to work creating a database for continuous profiling telemetry, based on the design principles that have made our other open source observability backends, Loki, Tempo, and Mimir, so successful: horizontally scalable architecture and use of object storage.- Cyril Tovena, Software Engineer at Grafana
As for the technical tidbits of Phlare, it uses object storage to store profiling data and supports various object storage services such as[Amazon S3][4], [Google Cloud Storage][5], [OpenStack Swift][6], and more.
Also, Cyril mentions that Grafana Phlare is incredibly easy to install:
> It’s easy to install with just one binary and no additional dependencies, just like [Prometheus][7].
![grafana phlare][8]
Credits: Grafana Labs
**Furthermore**, it can natively integrate with Grafana to show users a detailed view of the whole stack and includes various observability signals such as metrics, logs, and traces.
To complement Phlare, the team also added a new Flame graph panel to better visualize system resources data via various data sources.
![grafana phlare flame graph panel][9]

**As a bonus**, Grafana also announced a data source plugin for another open-source continuous profiler called '[Parca][10]'.
### 👨‍💻 Try Grafana Phlare
Grafana Phlare is made available as a single binary and can be procured from the official [GitHub repository][11].
You may want to review its [official documentation][12] to learn more about it.

Gitpod, An Open Source Developer Platform, Obtains $25M
======
![open srs2][1]
The new category created by the corporation is intended to increase productivity among the most expensive and in-demand workers for businesses: developers.
Gitpod GmbH, a start-up open source developer platform, revealed today that it has raised $25 million in fresh funding to establish a new category it calls cloud development environments.
The Series A investment was led by Tom Preston-Werner, the creator and former CEO of GitHub. Other notable individual investors included General Catalyst, Crane Venture Partners, Vertex Ventures US, Speedinvest, Pebblebed, GTMfund, and MongoDB Ventures. According to information from Crunchbase, Gitpod has now raised $14 million in total, including the fresh capital.
Gitpod, a 2019 startup, provides an online integrated development environment that can be opened from any GitHub page in a web browser. The business claims that Gitpod offers a fully functional programming environment with support for desktop or browser-based VS Code or any JetBrains integrated development environment, enabling developers to get started coding in only a few seconds. The exact project that is being updated is automatically configured in a separate cloud-based Linux container.
To reduce the hassle of manually setting up and maintaining a development environment, there is a service called Gitpod. According to the business, developers can work more rapidly using Gitpod since it gives them access to all the tools they need to upgrade or build new apps more quickly.
Gitpod’s platform was being used by more than 350,000 developers as of its most recent investment round in April 2021. Eighteen months later, there are now 750,000 people. Gitpod is used by developer teams at notable organisations like Google LLC, GitLab Inc., DataStax Inc., and Amazon Web Services Inc.
According to Gitpod, clients report losing up to five hours of work time per week due to unreliable development environments; CDEs are designed to fix this issue.
The organisation guarantees that they will be instantaneously accessible and offer limitless secure development settings. A workspace plugin system, application programming interfaces, and enhanced extensibility are on the development agenda. With preview environments and new collaborative procedures, CDEs are also believed to open up completely new options for team members to collaborate more closely.

Fedora 37: Top New Features and Release Wiki
======
**An article about Fedora 37 and its new features, release details and everything you need to know.**
Fedora 37 development is wrapped up, and the BETA is [now out][1]. Hence the features and packages are final at this stage.
In this usual feature guide page, I have summarised the essential features you should know about Fedora 37 and get an idea of what to expect. But before that, here’s a tentative schedule.
- The beta was out on September 13, 2022.
- **Final Fedora 37 is planned for release on October 25, 2022.**
![Fedora 37 Workstation with GNOME 43][2]
### Fedora 37: Top New Features
#### Kernel
**First** up are the critical items that make the core. Fedora 37 is powered by **Linux Kernel 5.19,** the latest mainline Kernel available now. Linux Kernel 5.19 brings essential features such as a fix for Ratbleed vulnerability, ARM support, Apple M1 NVMe SSD controller support and many such features, which you can read in our [Kernel feature guide][3].
The advantage of using the latest Kernel is that you can be assured that you are using the latest and greatest hardware support available at this moment in time.
**Next** up, the desktop environments are updated in this release.
#### Desktop Environment
Fedora 37 is the first distribution which brings the stunning **GNOME 43** desktop, which brings some excellent features such as:
- [Revamped quick settings][4] with pill-buttons
- Files (nautilus) 43 with GTK4 and libadwaita port
- Files with rubberband, emblems, responsive sidebar-like features
- [Updated GNOME Web with WebExtension API support][5]
And many features you have been waiting for for years. Do check out my [GNOME 43 feature guide][6] to learn more.
Fedora 37 brings **KDE Plasma 5.26** desktop environment with tons of new features, performance improvements and bug fixes. The most noteworthy features of the KDE Plasma desktop include:
- An updated overview screen.
- Dynamic wallpaper for dark and light themes.
- Animated wallpaper support
- Multi-button mouse support
- Updated KDE Framework and applications.
…and much more which you can read in detail in my [KDE Plasma 5.26 feature guide][7].
Since the lightweight desktop LXQt gets a stable update, 1.1.0, it arrives in Fedora 37. **LXQt 1.1.0** brings a default colour palette for dark themes for a uniform look, two variants (simple and compact) of the application menu and re-arranged GTK settings. Furthermore, LXQt 1.1.0 also starts the initial work for the Qt 6.0 porting of desktop components. All these bug fixes and enhancements arrive in the Fedora LXQt edition.
In addition, other primary desktop flavours remain at their current releases since no significant new updates arrive, i.e. **Xfce 4.16 and MATE 1.26**for the respective Fedora flavours.
Let’s see what the system-wide changes in this release that impacts all the Fedora flavours are.
#### System wide changes
The most significant change is the official support for **Raspberry Pi 4** boards. Thanks to the works over the years, you can now enjoy Fedora 37 on your favourite Pi boards with out-of-the-box supports.
Fedora Linux is always a pioneer in advancing technology and adopting the latest features before any other distro. With that in mind, the **SDDM display manager now comes with default Wayland** in KDE Plasma (and Kinoite) and different flavours. This completes the Wayland transition from the Fedora distro aspect for this flavour. 
As I [reported earlier][8], Fedora Linux 37 plans to provide us with a preview image of a **Web-based installer** for Anaconda. It might not be available immediately following the release. But it should be within a few days post-release.
Other noteworthy features include changing the **default hostname from “fedora” to “localhost”** to mitigate some third-party system configuration detection. 
Other than that, the **Fedora Core OS** is made to be an official Fedora edition and now stands together with Server, IoT and cloud editions for better discovery and adoption. Fedora Core OS minimal footprint OS is primarily used for container workloads and brings auto updates and additional features.
Following the tradition, this release also features a [brand new wallpaper][9] with both night and day versions. I must say it looks awesome (see the above desktop image).
Finally, also in this release, Fedora **drops 32-bit Java** packages, including JDK 8, 11, and 17, since usage is low. In addition, the openssl1.1 package is also deprecated.
The toolchain, apps and programming stack are updated as follows:
- Glibc 2.36 and Binutils 2.38
- Node.js 18.x
- Perl 5.36
- Python 3.11
### Summary of features in Fedora 37
So, that’s about it with the features of this release. Here’s a summary of the Fedora 37 features:
- Linux Kernel 5.19
- GNOME 43
- KDE Plasma 5.26
- Xfce 4.16
- MATE 1.24
- LXQt 1.1.0
- A preview image of the new web-based installer
- The SDDM display manager defaults to Wayland (in KDE Plasma and others)
- Official Raspberry Pi 4 support
- Fedora Core OS becomes the official flavour
- Key packages dropping 32-bit support
- And associated toolchain and programming language updates.
If you have spare time, you can[give it a spin][10] or test drive. Just be cautious that it is still BETA.
Also, If you are daring enough, you can upgrade to this release with **caution** because, y’know it’s BETA. The commands below will help you to do that.
```
sudo dnf install dnf-plugin-system-upgrade
sudo dnf system-upgrade download --ref --releasever=37
```
For Kinoite, Silverblue and other immutable versions, use:
```
rpm-ostree rebase fedora:fedora/37/x86_64/silverblue
```
**So, what’s your favourite feature of this release? Let me know in the comment section.**

Endless OS – Desktop Linux Done Right for the Masses
======
**We review the popular Endless OS as Linux Desktop with the new features and updates of the latest version 4.0.**
![Endless OS Desktop version 4.0][1]
Endless OS is a [OSTree based][2] free and open-source[Linux Distribution][3]. This Linux distribution is packaged from Debian/Ubuntu, but not directly based on it. OSTree is an atomic upgrade system for Linux-based OSes. This is a unique way to provide package updates to Linux-distribution, where OSTree packages everything in a server and then replicates to the client.
The main advantage is that your underlying Linux operating system always remain intact, and it is read-only. OSTree only operates in user space.
In that sense, Endless OS never breaks, and it remains fresh as you install for the first time. Today, only very few Linux Distribution are based on OSTree technology – such as Fedora SIlverblue and Fedora Kinoite.
That said, let take a deep dive on the Endless OS as a whole and check out the updates to the new version.
### Endless OS Review
#### Version 4.0 Updates
As of writing this post, Endless OS latest version is 4.0 which has been released on Nov 22, 2021. This release brings better app grid switching with indicators, switch user option and a Long term support model. With this new support model, this version 4.0 will continue to receive update even after Endless OS 5.0 released. You can learn more about the updates in this [post][4].
#### Downloading Endless OS
Before I go into the installer, I would like to spend a few words on the installer/.ISO of this distribution. Endless OS brings two separate installers. An .ISO file specifically designed for Windows system to install as dual-boot. This installer is an EXE file which you can download in Windows machine and start the installation! This something unique I found.
With all the Windows hate aside, this actually helps to adopt this Linux distribution far more easily for the average user. An average user may not even know what a partition or a GRUB is. So, in those situations, it downloads, does the partition and installs it without any complex user input. This is really impressive. You can learn more about the Windows installation [here][5].
Other .ISO images are dedicated to –
- Basic desktop installer with language selection
- A specially designed .ISO for virtual machine
- .ISO images for ARM hardware such as Raspberry Pi, Pinebook Pro etc.
Go ahead and open the below link and get your .ISO copy. Remember, the full installer ISO files are much larger > 10 GB. So, if you are planning to test, use the basic installer.
![Download options of Endless OS][6]
[download Endless OS][7]
#### Unique Installation of Endless OS
Apart from the Windows installation as described above, you need to know a couple of things. The Endless OS can not be installed at the moment as dual boot with other Linux distributions. What? Yes.
As per the information I found, the .ISO is not designed to handle other Linux distribution as dual boot. However, you can try it in virtual machine with any Linux host OS.
The basic installer gives you two options. Try in LIVE media or reformat the entire disk and install. Yes, entire disk. So be very careful if you’re trying to install in actual hardware.
During my test, I had to install it in a virtual machine ([virt-manager][8]) because I don’t want to reformat my entire SSD.
The installation went smooth. No error whatsoever. However, it took a little longer (probably 10 to 15 minutes extra) than other Linux distribution installation in same hardware.
![Two options to Install and Try Endless OS][9]
![This OS requires entire disk][10]
#### First Login and Setup
After the successful installation, you get to choose Language, user account, privacy options. These are standard GNOME options which we see in Fedora Workstation GNOME Edition. One of the important item is the terms of use. As this Linux is targeted for mass deployment for schools, non-profits or labs – you might want to go through the terms.
User creation dialog have an option to set up parental control for the user being created, which is neat.
#### How the Endless OS with GNOME desktop looks
When you first boot up, you see a desktop with icons and a search bar.
This is the application list menu, which is the default desktop screen. You can search any items in your desktop and launch them via the search bar. The search bar also gives you the option to directly search Google via Chromium, which is the default browser.
This default desktop screen contains preloaded applications and well organized app folders for native GNOME apps.
The bottom panel is awesome, really. It is well optimized in terms of looks and width. Not too narrow or wide. In the far left, you have Endless OS icon, which is a toggle for show applications and show desktop options.
Then, you have the favorites as icons. The favorites icons have the app indicator notifying that it is open. If some app is not marked as favorites, they also show up in the bottom panel when opened with app indicator. This is super neat.
To the right, the system tray is classified intro three sections. First one gives you the volume controls, network and Wi-Fi settings. In the middle you have date, time and calendar on mouse-hover. And at the extreme right you have the options to log out, switch user, power off and other information. All these menu comes up when you mouse-hover into it. You do not need to click them.
#### Hot Corner and Workspace
Endless OS is based on GNOME 3.38 version. Not GNOME. Hence, the workspace design is kind of unique. To the extreme right bottom – there is a hot corner. When you click on that, it brings up the current workspace with a list of running applications. When you mouse hover, you can close them or select them without leaving the view.
#### Things that I feel Endless OS done right with GNOME
If you have used GNOME in Ubuntu or Fedora, and then experienced it in Endless OS, you might find some UI tweaks works out of the box. You do not need to set up Extensions or change settings. Here are a couple of them I found that I wish GNOME with Fedora or Ubuntu would feature by default.
- Clicking on desktop empty section shows the desktop by minimizing all open applications. And pressing ALT+TAB brings up the open app windows again. You can’t imagine how comfortable this behavior is.
- The show desktop and app toggle at the bottom right of the panel and its default mapping with Super key. This just works.
- All windows have Minimize, Maximize, and Close icons at the top right by default. You do not need additional tweaks to get it working.
- Hot corner implementation at the far right.
- Panel design in terms of width, app icons with app indicators. They are all default implementations.
- System tray menu popup in mouse over by default. You do not need an extra click to open it up. This is such a breathing while using the mouse.
Here’s a quick video showing all the above features.
#### Unique Features that make it perfect for non-technical users
Perhaps the unique selling point of this Linux desktop is minimal user intervention during installation + post-install tweaks. And you can start using this desktop without internet connection right away. A perfect desktop for those places where internet is not always available.
Think about a school at a remove place where Internet connectivity is costly or not available. But you need to have a stable, free and easy-to-use Linux Desktop for kids to learn the computing. You can burn a CD/DVD or create USB with language specific .ISO and deploy it offline.
And post-installation does not require any additional settings at all. All the options are well defaulted and just works.
#### Software and Applications
One point to note that, Endless OS use Flatpak to deploy applications. There is no way to install other than Flatpak. For example, you can not use apt or apt-get at all because the file system is read only.
That’s why, the .ISO itself is larger and contains all required applications, language packs preloaded. Ideal for schools, labs and other forms of deployments.
However, if you need additional applications, you can install it using the customized App Center for GNOME with internet connection.
The App Center have curated categories at the left which shows the Flatpak applications. The App center is configured to fetch application metadata directly from Flathub.
![App Center in Endless OS][11]
Oh, this OS supports NVIDIA cards out-of-the-box with either the proprietary driver for supported cards or nouveau for older ones.
#### Help Center
Think about a situation, where a student is learning computer for the first time using Endless OS. If the person want to change the login screen photo, how does he/she do?
Here comes the great built-in help center of this OS which I feel one of the important feature. All the person need to do is type something in the desktop search bar and pull up help.
This is so helpful, isn’t it?
![Trying Help in Endless OS-1][12]
![Trying Help in Endless OS-2][13]
#### How about the performance?
I have only managed to install it in a virtual machine. So, it has comfortable response time while using the desktop. The animations and other gestures are instant. I kept it running for more than 15 hours in a virtual machine.
After 15 hours, it was consuming around 1 to 2% CPU and 1 GB of memory. Most of the CPU is consumed by gnome-shell, followed by Xorg. I am not sure why gnome-shell was consuming so much, might be memory leak bug. Not sure though.
![Performance of Endless OS][14]
#### What about disk space?
As this Linux distribution plans to be a self-sufficient distro without internet, the installation size is a little larger compared to other distributions such as Ubuntu or Fedora. A default virtual machine installation takes around ~11 GB of disk space.
#### Is it a perfect Linux Distribution? Well, not really.
I try many Linux distributions and desktops for this blog and my work. Very few are perfect and ready to use just after installation. I mean, you don’t need to go over “10 things to do after installing **” with this Linux distribution.
But, some minor improvements are welcome from the team in the future. First item I feel, an .ISO which is dedicated to be installed side-by-side with Ubuntu, fedora and other Linux. This is really needed.
Probably some support for Snap packages in the future.
And the final drawback might be the availability of applications only as Flatpak. Not every app have an official flatpak version today. That limits its capability to some extent, but not more.
#### If things go wrong – how to get help and Support?
There’s a great online active community of Endless OS where you get support from its creators. And the documentation is also very impressive which contains all necessary details ranging from installation to usage. You can visit the community and documentation using the below links.
- [https://support.endlessos.org/en/home][15]
- [https://community.endlessos.com/][16]
### Closing Notes
Endless OS is one of those few Linux distributions which I felt really well thought of and designed. It is perfect for schools, labs, and remote/offline situations. And perfectly designed to be used by anyone without prior knowledge of much computing, even experience of Windows. Even the Windows users would feel comfortable using this modified GNOME desktop. That said, I am hoping that the team should bring up options to install it alongside other Linux distributions. Then it might be a daily driver distribution for many Linux users and get more attention it deserves.
If you want only one Linux operating system in your machine which is super stable and run for years, then go ahead and try this distribution. You will be amazed by how much time you save without worrying about terminal, commands, updates/upgrades and sudden package dependency surprises.
To wrap up this Endless OS review, what you think about Endless OS? Is it a perfect distro? Let me know in the comment box below.

Fedora 37: Top New Features and Release Wiki
======
**An article about Fedora 37 and its new features, release details and everything you need to know.**
Fedora 37 development is wrapped up, and the BETA is [now out][1]. Hence the features and packages are final at this stage.
In this usual feature guide page, I have summarised the essential features you should know about Fedora 37 and get an idea of what to expect. But before that, here’s a tentative schedule.
- The beta was out on September 13, 2022.
- **Final Fedora 37 is planned for release on November 15, 2022.**
![Fedora 37 Workstation with GNOME 43][2]
Fedora 37 Workstation with GNOME 43
### Fedora 37: Top New Features
#### Kernel
**First** up are the critical items that make the core. Fedora 37 is powered by **Linux Kernel 5.19,** the latest mainline Kernel available now. Linux Kernel 5.19 brings essential features such as a fix for Ratbleed vulnerability, ARM support, Apple M1 NVMe SSD controller support and many such features, which you can read in our [Kernel feature guide][3].
The advantage of using the latest Kernel is that you can be assured that you are using the latest and greatest hardware support available at this moment in time.
**Next** up, the desktop environments are updated in this release.
#### Desktop Environment
Fedora 37 is the first distribution which brings the stunning **GNOME 43** desktop, which brings some excellent features such as:
- [Revamped quick settings][4] with pill-buttons
- Files (nautilus) 43 with GTK4 and libadwaita port
- Files with rubberband, emblems, responsive sidebar-like features
- [Updated GNOME Web with WebExtension API support][5]
And many features you have been waiting for for years. Do check out my [GNOME 43 feature guide][6] to learn more.
Fedora 37 brings **KDE Plasma 5.26** desktop environment with tons of new features, performance improvements and bug fixes. The most noteworthy features of the KDE Plasma desktop include:
- An updated overview screen.
- Dynamic wallpaper for dark and light themes.
- Animated wallpaper support
- Multi-button mouse support
- Updated KDE Framework and applications.
…and much more which you can read in detail in my [KDE Plasma 5.26 feature guide][7].
Since the lightweight desktop LXQt gets a stable update, 1.1.0, it arrives in Fedora 37. **LXQt 1.1.0** brings a default colour palette for dark themes for a uniform look, two variants (simple and compact) of the application menu and re-arranged GTK settings. Furthermore, LXQt 1.1.0 also starts the initial work for the Qt 6.0 porting of desktop components. All these bug fixes and enhancements arrive in the Fedora LXQt edition.
In addition, other primary desktop flavours remain at their current releases since no significant new updates arrive, i.e. **Xfce 4.16 and MATE 1.26**for the respective Fedora flavours.
Let’s see what the system-wide changes in this release that impacts all the Fedora flavours are.
#### System wide changes
The most significant change is the official support for **Raspberry Pi 4** boards. Thanks to the works over the years, you can now enjoy Fedora 37 on your favourite Pi boards with out-of-the-box supports.
Fedora Linux is always a pioneer in advancing technology and adopting the latest features before any other distro. With that in mind, the **SDDM display manager now comes with default Wayland** in KDE Plasma (and Kinoite) and different flavours. This completes the Wayland transition from the Fedora distro aspect for this flavour. 
As I [reported earlier][8], Fedora Linux 37 plans to provide us with a preview image of a **Web-based installer** for Anaconda. It might not be available immediately following the release. But it should be within a few days post-release.
Other noteworthy features include changing the **default hostname from “fedora” to “localhost”** to mitigate some third-party system configuration detection. 
Other than that, the **Fedora Core OS** is made to be an official Fedora edition and now stands together with Server, IoT and cloud editions for better discovery and adoption. Fedora Core OS minimal footprint OS is primarily used for container workloads and brings auto updates and additional features.
Following the tradition, this release also features a [brand new wallpaper][9] with both night and day versions. I must say it looks awesome (see the above desktop image).
Finally, also in this release, Fedora **drops 32-bit Java** packages, including JDK 8, 11, and 17, since usage is low. In addition, the openssl1.1 package is also deprecated.
The toolchain, apps and programming stack are updated as follows:
- Glibc 2.36 and Binutils 2.38
- Node.js 18.x
- Perl 5.36
- Python 3.11
### Summary of features in Fedora 37
So, that’s about it with the features of this release. Here’s a summary of the Fedora 37 features:
- Linux Kernel 5.19
- GNOME 43
- KDE Plasma 5.26
- Xfce 4.16
- MATE 1.24
- LXQt 1.1.0
- A preview image of the new web-based installer
- The SDDM display manager defaults to Wayland (in KDE Plasma and others)
- Official Raspberry Pi 4 support
- Fedora Core OS becomes the official flavour
- Key packages dropping 32-bit support
- And associated toolchain and programming language updates.
If you have spare time, you can[give it a spin][10] or test drive. Just be cautious that it is still BETA.
Also, If you are daring enough, you can upgrade to this release with **caution** because, y’know it’s BETA. The commands below will help you to do that.
```
sudo dnf install dnf-plugin-system-upgrade
sudo dnf system-upgrade download --ref --releasever=37
```
For Kinoite, Silverblue and other immutable versions, use:
```
rpm-ostree rebase fedora:fedora/37/x86_64/silverblue
```
**So, what’s your favourite feature of this release? Let me know in the comment section.**

Customize GNOME 40 Desktop to Look Like macOS [Guide]
======
**A quick guide for you to help you customizing the GNOME 40 desktop to look like macOS.**
Ever since the GNOME 40 desktop was released, I was wondering whether it is even possible to make this desktop look like macOS. It seems we can do it as close as possible to look like macOS. Here’s how.
There’s always debate that why people are so fascinated to make Linux Desktop look like macOS? If you want MacOS, then get a Mac. Well, keeping that debate aside, I ran some experiments to see whether the GNOME 40 and associated extension ecosystem evolved enough to make it look like macOS.
The power of any Linux desktop is customization. And among the popular desktops such as KDE, GNOME, Deepin, Budgie – only KDE Plasma comes with built-in tools to customize it to anything you want. On the other hand, GNOME’s vanilla install doesn’t give you those options out-of-the-box. Hence to get the desired result, you need to depend on many extensions and tweaks.
As GNOME 40 fundamentally changes the behavior of the desktop, the developers already ported their extensions to work on GNOME 40. And the majority of them working very well as of today.
So, in this guide, we are going to use a bunch of extensions for GNOME 40 and the final desktop should look like this.
![GNOME 40 Desktop Configuration - MacOS][1]
GNOME 40 Desktop Configuration – MacOS
![GNOME 40 Customization - MacOS - Workspace View][2]
GNOME 40 Customization – MacOS – Workspace View
### Steps to Customize GNOME 40 Desktop to Look Like macOS
#### Setup Extensions and Tools
As this guide requires the installation of GNOME extensions, you need to set up your system as per the Linux distribution. You can read our guide here on installing and using GNOME Extensions; Or, follow the quick guide below.
Open a terminal and install the following.
**Ubuntu**
```
sudo apt install chrome-gnome-shell
```
**Fedora**
```
sudo dnf install chrome-gnome-shell
```
You have to install an add-on based on your preferred browser. Install them using the below links:
- [Chrome, Chromium, Google Chrome, Vivaldi][3]
- [Firefox][4]
- [Opera][5]
Install the GNOME Tweak tool using the below command.
**Ubuntu**
```
sudo apt install gnome-tweak-tool
```
**Fedora**
```
sudo dnf install gnome-tweak-tool
```
Install the [new Extensions Flatpak app][6] to manage extensions in GNOME 40 desktop. Go to Software and search for Extensions to install.
#### Theme, Icon, and Cursor
##### Download
I have used the WhiteSur Shell Theme, BigSur Icon Theme, McMojave Cursors, and macOS BS Theme for Cairo Dock for this guide.
Download the following packages and extract them. Open each of the below links and go to the Files section. Then download the light versions of the packages. If you want the dark theme, you can download the dark version as well. I have used the light theme for this guide.
- [WhiteSur Shell Theme][7]
- [BigSur Icon Theme][8]
- [McMojave Cursors][9]
- [macOS BS Theme for Cairo Dock][10]
After you download, extract them. Then create two directories named .icons and .themes under your home directory. Then copy the corresponding folders to .icons and .themes directories. The cursor theme goes to the .icons directory. Do not extract or copy the theme for the Cairo dock.
#### Install Extensions and configuration
##### Changes in Tweak Tool
Open the GNOME Tweak Tool and make the following changes to apply the themes that you downloaded above.
- On the Window Titlebars tab, turn on Maximize and Minimize and make the placement as Left.
- If you want to change the Font, you can. I kept the default Cantarell Regular font.
- On the Appearance tab change the Themes as below.
![tweak settings for theme][11]
tweak settings for theme
##### Download and configure extensions
We need a bunch of extensions for the desired looks. Here’s a list of the extensions compatible at the moment with GNOME 40. Install all of them using the below links. After installation, do the following configuration using the Extensions app.
[Better OSD – GNOME 40][12] : Changes the OSD location in the desktop.
- Change the horizontal and vertical position of the OSD as per your need so that it becomes like this on the right-top of the desktop. This depends on the resolution of your screen.
![GNOME 40 OSD][13]
GNOME 40 OSD
[Notification Banner Position][14]: Move the default notifications from the center to any section you want. Only enable this extension, no change in settings is required.
![Notification][15]
Notification
[Dynamic Panel Transparency][16]: Make your top panel transparent in GNOME 40 desktop.
- Change the maximized opacity to 27% and unmaximized to 19% in the settings of this extension.
[Frippery Move Clock][17]: Move the center clock to the right side of the panel. Only enable this extenstion. No setting change is required.
[User Themes][18]: Ability to apply GNOME Shell theme.
- Apply the WhiteSur-light Shell theme.
![apply WhiteSur-light user theme][19]
apply WhiteSur-light user theme
[Blur My Shell][20]: Blurs the workspace and activtiy view and login screen.
- On the settings, only turn on the blue for Dash and Overview and disable for Panel and others. Because this may conflict with the Transparent panel extension above.
#### Dock Configuration
There are many Docks available that are compatible with the GNOME desktop. For this guide, I have used the [Cairo Dock][21]with many customization options. Install it using the following command.
**Ubuntu**
```
sudo apt install cairo-dock
```
**Fedora**
```
sudo dnf install cairo-dock
```
Download the Cairo dock theme for MacOS from the below link.
[Cairo Dock theme for macOS look-a-like][10]
After installation of the Cairo Dock, open the GNOME Tweak Tool and add Cairo dock as a startup application.
From the application menu, launch Cairo Dock. And do the following settings.
- Import the above theme from **Themes** Tab and **Apply** it. Browse to the downloaded tar file and apply.
- On the Configuration > Appearance Tab Choose **Icons as BigSur** and **Size=Big**.
- On the Configuration > Behaviour Tab change the settings as per the below image.
![Cairo Dock Config - Behaviour][22]
Cairo Dock Config – Behaviour
- Change the **Addon Tab** applets which appear on the Dock as per your need.
- On the **Current Items** Tab, under the Bottom Dock, rearrange and remove anything you want. You can right-click on the items and remove them.
- Add a **custom Launcher** to launch the Application list of GNOME from Right Click on Dock > Add > Custom Launcher.
- On the Current Items Tab, under the Bottom Dock, modify the custom launcher and give a name. For example, for this guide – I have given the name “Finder” and Command as below which would bring up the GNOME Application list.
![Cairo Dock custom launcher][23]
Cairo Dock custom launcher
```
dbus-send --session --type=method_call --dest=org.gnome.Shell /org/gnome/Shell org.gnome.Shell.Eval string:'Main.shellDBusService.ShowApplications();'
```
After these configuration, your dock should look like below.
![Cairo Dock Animation][24]

#### Additional Configuration
Time for a nice wallpaper. There are a bunch of wallpapers available for Mac in the below link. Grab one and apply.
[download cool wallpapers][25]
If you fancy some more customization, then you can opt for below.
- For Wobbly windows animation when you drag, download, and apply [Compiz alike windows effect.][26]
- Install [Albert Launcher][27] for your desktop which is like KDE KRunner.
### Closing Notes
I hope this guide gives you a starting point for your GNOME 40 desktop customization. There are hundreds of themes, icons, and extensions available compatible with the new desktop workflow. You can create your own desktop look as you wish.
Do let me know in the comments below, whether it helped you; Also let us know about some cool extensions, themes for everyone.

Customize GNOME 42 with A Polished Look
======
**A tutorial on how you can give your favourite GNOME desktop a polished look, in 5 minutes.**
There are many ways you can customize your favourite GNOME desktop with icons, themes, cursors and wallpapers. This article shows you how to give the GNOME 42 desktop a more polished look. The GNOME 42 desktop environment is available with the recently released Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and Fedora 36.
Before you read further, here’s how it looks with a side by side comparison (before and after).
![GNOME before customisation][1]
![GNOME after customisation][2]
I am going to divide this tutorial into two sections.
The first section deals with setting up and installing required packages. And second, how to apply various settings to get your desired look.
This tutorial was mainly tested on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. However, it should work in other variants of Ubuntu and Fedora.
### Customize GNOME 42 with a Polished Look
#### Setup
- First, enable your system for Flatpak because we need to install the Extension Manager to download some required GNOME Shell extensions for this tutorial.
- So, to do that, open up a terminal and run the following commands.
```
sudo apt install flatpak gnome-software-plugin-flatpakflatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
```
- Reboot the computer once done.
- Then run the following command from the terminal to install the Extensions Manager app to download GNOME Shell Extensions.
```
flatpak install flathub com.mattjakeman.ExtensionManager
```
- Open the Extension Manager application and install two extensions. The first one is **Floating Dock** which features a super cool dock which you can move around anywhere on your desktop. Second, install the **User themes** extensions to help you install the external GTK themes in your Ubuntu Linux.
![User Themes Extension][3]

- Secondly, install the [Materia Theme][5] using the below commands. You have to build it as it doesn’t have any executable. Run the following commands in sequence in Ubuntu to install.
```
git clone https://github.com/ckissane/materia-theme-transparent.gitcd materia-theme-transparentmeson _buildmeson install -C _build
```
- Additionally, download the [Kora Icon theme][6] from the below link. After downloading, extract the files and copy the below four folders to `/home/<user name>/.icons` path. Create the .icons folder if it is not present.

- In addition to the above, if you want a nice font which goes with the above themes, [download Robot font][10] from Google Fonts and copy them to `/home/<user name>/.fonts` folder.
- Finally, restart your system once again.
#### Configuration
- Open the Extension Manager, enable the Floating Dock and User Themes, and disable the Ubuntu Dock.
![Changes to Extensions][11]
Changes to Extensions
- In addition, open the Floating dock settings and make the following changes.
![Floating Dock Settings][12]

- Cursor: Bibata-Original-Ice
- Shell Theme: Materia
- Icon: Kora
- Furthermore, open the [GNOME Tweak Tool][13], and go to the Appearance tab. Set the followings.
- Other than that, you may also want to change the font. To do that, go to the Fonts tab and change the document and interface to Robot 10pt.
- Alternatively, you can also change the accent colour and style from Settings which comes by default with Ubuntu 22.04.
- Finally, download a nice wallpaper as per your preference. For this tutorial, I have downloaded a sample wallpaper from [here][14].
- If all goes well, you should have a nice desktop, as shown below.

How to Install PostgreSQL 15 on Ubuntu 22.04 Step-by-Step
======
In this article, we will explain how to install PostgreSQL 15 database server on Ubuntu 22.04 (Jammy Jellyfish).
PostgreSQL is a powerful, open-source object-relational Database Management System (DBMS). It’s been battle-tested for over 35 years which has earned it a strong reputation for reliability and performance. This feature-rich database is used by many tech giants, such as Apple, IMDB, Instagram, and so on.
PostgreSQL supports large number of the SQL standard and is constructed to be extensible by users in many aspects. Some of the salient features include ACID transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types, functions, etc.
##### Prerequisites
Before installing the PostgreSQL server, we must ensure that the system meets the following installation requirements:
- Pre-Installed Ubuntu 22.04
- A regular user with sudo rights
- An active internet connection
- At least 2 GB of RAM with an additional 512 MB of disk space. Please note that this is a minimal requirement for the demo environment. The actual hardware configuration will vary with data volume.
Without any further delay, let’s deep dive into PostgreSQL 15 installation steps,
### 1) Enable PostgreSQL Package Repository
PostgreSQL 15 package is not available in the default package repository, so enable its official package repository using following commands.
```
$ sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt $(lsb_release -cs)-pgdg main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pgdg.list'
$ wget -qO- https://www.postgresql.org/media/keys/ACCC4CF8.asc | sudo tee /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/pgdg.asc &>/dev/null
```
To begin, let’s fetch the latest versions of the packages. We can achieve this using the apt update command as shown below:
```
$ sudo apt update
```
The above command will take a few seconds to complete.
### 2) Install PostgreSQL 15 Database Server and Client
The postgresql package installs the default version of the PostgreSQL database server whereas the postgresql-client package installs the client utility.
Let’s install the PostgreSQL client and server using the below apt command:
```
$ sudo apt install postgresql postgresql-client -y
```
Next, let’s verify that the PostgreSQL service is up and running:
```
$ sudo systemctl status postgresql
```
Finally, check the PostgreSQL version using the psql command line utility:
```
$ psql --version
```
Here, we can see that the version of PostgreSQL is 15.
### 3) Update PostgreSQL Admin User Password
By default, we can connect to the PostgreSQL server without using any password. Let’s see this in action using the psql utility:
```
$ sudo -u postgres psql
postgres=#
```
In the above output, the postgres=#  prompt indicated the active connection with the PostgreSQL server.
In this example, we have used the postgres user. This is an admin user of PostgreSQL and it gets created during the installation process.
Allowing administrative access to the database without any password isn’t a good idea. So, let’s set the password for the postgres user:
```
postgres=# ALTER USER postgres PASSWORD 'demoPassword';
```
The above SQL query sets the user password to demoPassword. Please note that, we have used a very simple password because this is a demo environment. However, the same is not recommended in the production environment.
Let’s verify that the password has been set successfully. So first, terminate the current session with the server using the \q command.
```
postgres=# \q
```
Output of above commands,
Now, let’s connect to the database server again:
```
$ psql -h localhost -U postgres
```
Let’s enter the demoPassword string as a password and now we are connected to the database.
### 4) Configure PostgreSQL to Allow Remote Connections
By default, PostgreSQL accepts connections from the localhost only. However, we can easily modify the configuration to allow connection from remote clients.
PostgreSQL reads its configuration from the postgresql.conf file which is located in the /etc/postgresql/<version>/main/ directory. Here, the version indicates the major version of PostgreSQL.
For example, in our case the full path of the file is /etc/postgresql/15/main/postgresql.conf.
Now, open the postgresql.conf file in a text editor, uncomment the line that starts with the listen_addresses, and replace ‘localhost’ with ‘*’.
This setting is located under the CONNECTIONS AND AUTHENTICATION section. After modification the file will look like this:
Save and close the file.
Next, edit the IPv4 local connections section of the pg_hba.conf file to allow IPv4 connections from all clients. Please note that this file is also located in /etc/postgresql/15/main/ directory.
```
$ sudo vi /etc/postgresql/15/main/pg_hba.conf
```
After modification the file will look like this:
In the above configuration indicates to allow connection from the network 192.168.1.0/24
In case, Ubuntu firewall is running on your system then allow PostgreSQL 5432 port using following command,
```
$ sudo ufw allow 5432/tcp
```
##### Verifying Remote Connection
Finally, restart the service and verify it’s up and running:
```
$ sudo systemctl restart postgresql
$ sudo systemctl status postgresql
```
Now, let’s try to access DB from remote client.
```
$ psql -h 192.168.1.192 -U postgres
```
In this example, 192.168.1.192 is the IP address of the PostgreSQL database server.
Here we can see that we are able to access DB from the remote client.
That’s all from this article.Please do post your queries and feedback in the below comments section.

Best 5 Alternatives to Microsoft Office [Compared]
======
**Here we give you the five best alternatives to Microsoft Office. We compare them based on features, are easy to use and provide you with a guide to choosing the one you need.**
We all agree that Microsoft Office is one of the best software developed by Mircosoft. It has a presence almost everywhere in the entire world in nearly every business. It is a fine piece of software that evolved over a few decades.
And obviously, it doesn’t have a Linux native installer and comes with a significant price. The current Microsoft Office 365 subscription pricing is a little higher if you are a business owner or a personal user. And not everyone can afford that price bucket for a longer time.
Then what are the alternatives? You can try other options that relatively get the job done for most users or businesses.
This article gives you the five best alternatives to Microsoft Office.
### Best Alternatives to Microsoft Office
### 1. LibreOffice
![LibreOffice][1]
The first alternative we highlight here is [LibreOffice][2]. The Document Foundation develops and manages the entire LibreOffice free and open-source office suite, available for Linux, macOS and Windows.
Firstly, it comes with a spreadsheet ([Calc][3]), word processor (Writer), presentation (Impress), drawing (Draw) and a database program (Base).
Secondly, this project is actively developed, and compatibility with Microsoft Office documents is improved in every release iteration. If appropriately used, LibreOffice can effectively do all the work that a Mircosoft office program does. In addition, a massive set of documentation and communities can help you adopt LibreOffice in no time.
You don’t need to pay for the software if you are a small or large corporation. But paid deployment and support are also available at minimal cost if you require them for your critical work.
However, LibreOffice does not come with an Outlook-like email program. This might be one of the minor drawbacks, but you can access emails from web browsers today for all email service providers.
**More details about LibreOffice**

- [For Business][4]
- [Download for general-purpose personal use][5]
- [Help and Documentation][6]
- [Official support forum][7]
### 2. Google Docs
![Google Docs - alternatives to Microsoft Office][8]
The search engine giant Google provides a complete web-based Office suite (aka [Google Docs][9]) with its Docs (document processor), Sheets (spreadsheet program) and Slides (presentation) for free users.
You can access and create documents in your Google Drive account by default and access them from anywhere. The office components provide well-designed web-based toolbars, advanced options, spell check, Voice to Text feature (only in Chrome), encryption and cloud access. Google also offers mobile apps for iOS and Android to access your documents and edit them on the go.
One of the best features of Google Docs is templates. With the power of pre-built templates, you can start professional-grade documents in time. The collaboration option gives you more control when sharing and deploying documents with a Google account-based authentication and authorization mechanism for a wider audience.
If you need more from Google Docs, you may opt for Google Workspace with a minimal price compared to costly Microsoft Office. The Google Workspace is a complete and integrated solution that gives you Google Forms to collect data and integrate it into your docs and Sheets, website builder Google Sites, Google Calendar and more storage options to keep your document.
**More details about Google Docs**
- [Home page][9]
- [Documentation][10]
### 3. OnlyOffice
![OnlyOffice - alternatives to Microsoft Office][11]
[OnlyOffice][12] is a free and open-source complete Office productivity suite with a text editor, spreadsheet program, and presentation tool for you and your office work. It supports advanced features such as real-time collaboration with proper tracking changes for your shared documents, fillable forms, and many other features.
This powerful office suite looks better with its Office 365-type ribbons, which helps to adopt this program quickly. In addition, this product has better Microsoft Office compatibility with .docx .xlsx and .pptx file formats which are easy for you and your organization to share documents.
It’s worth mentioning that it provides an Enterprise office suite, aka “ONLYOFFICE Workspace, ” a paid product with additional features and instant support. This enterprise suite is perfect for those with a tight budget on office products but needs near compatibility with Office 365.
Furthermore, the ONLYOFFICE Workspace comes with an Email client, CRM product, Project Management tool and an integrated calendar. Although everything works well, you face issues with spell checking, print preview, page size and some bugs. But you should not worry as the team is receptive, and you can report issues on GitHub and get help.

### 4. Softmaker Free Office
![FreeOffice - alternatives to Microsoft Office][15]
The [FreeOffice][16] is another option if you are looking for Microsoft Office alternatives. SoftMaker developed this office suite, and it is arguably one of the choices you may have. Let’s talk a little about its features.
Firstly, the FreeOffice brings TextMaker (like Word), PlanMaker (like Excel), Presentations and a comparison utility. Secondly, the user interfaces as two options. The modern Ribbon option makes it a desirable product due to its popularity. Moreover, it has a traditional Legacy user interface with a menu and toolbar with a considerable fanbase.
Besides these, the SoftMaker FreeOffice provides a specific user interface and features for touch-based devices. The Microsoft Office document format compatibility is well established to get the most done.
However, you may have little trouble working with Open Document Format files, whose support is limited.
This is a closed-source product.

### 5. WPS Office
![WPS Office][19]
Remember Kingston Office? Well, it’s now renamed and repackaged as WPS Office, the acronym for Word, Presentation and Spreadsheets. Today, the WPS Office is one of the oldest office suites, with more than three decades of development and release. It is a fully-featured office suite available for all platforms and mobile devices.
Some of the noteworthy features of WPS Office are its real-time collaboration in its core programs which helps you work in a team on a shared document. The office suite comes with 100,000+ templates which allows you to create professional-grade documents and presentations.
The WPS Office comes with the standard edition, free to download and use but limited in features.
Moreover, if you need additional features such as PDF editing, Cloud support, collaborations and enterprise support, then you can opt for the WPS Premium of WPS Business option with a price.
It’s important to mention that this is a closed-source program and may contain Ads. Also, it was developed by a Chinese company.

### Comparison
Here’s a quick comparison of the free Microsoft Office alternatives based on noteworthy features and other details.
| Product | Price | Source Type | Pros | Cons |
| :- | :- | :- | :- | :- |
| LibreOffice | Free | Open source | Free and cross-platformMulti-language supportComplete support of ODF filesBest compatibility support of Microsoft OfficeVery active development | No email and project management suiteThe database program depends on Java |
| Google Docs | Free | Close source | Free and cross-platformWell documented supportAccess documents via cloud anywhereComplete Mobile device support | Requires internet connectionLittle slow due to the web-based toolNo native desktop executable available |
| OnlyOffice | Free (basic product) | Open source | The user interface is almost similar to Microsoft OfficeBetter support and compatibility with Microsoft Office filesCloud integration and plugin supportCross-platform | It may face problems with some basic features.Cloud integrations are not compatible with the EU due to GDPRThe web app version is slow |
| FreeOffice | Free (basic product) | Close source | Free and lightweight compared to LibreOffice.Touchscreen supportGood Microsoft Office compatibilityCross-platform | The free version only has documents, spreadsheets and presentations.Additional products need purchaseOpen Document Format support is limitedNot open source product |
| WPS Office | Free | Close source | Good Microsoft office compatibilityCross-platform productTabbed interfaceMulti-language support | Not open source productDeveloped by a Chinese companyMay contain ads |
### Our Recommendation
Besides all the pros and cons, if you cannot choose which Office suite is best for you, I recommend going ahead with LibreOffice. Because LibreOffice and TDF have a good vision, active development and worldwide community support. LibreOffice has a considerable knowledge base about tips and tutorials on the helpful web. And you can easily automate tasks with Basic or Python Macro.
### Closing Notes
I hope this guide helps you choose the best alternatives for Microsoft Office for your personal or business usage. Genuinely speaking, none of the above office products come close in comparison to Microsoft Office in the true sense. Not everyone or every company can pay a hefty monthly subscription fee for Microsoft Office. For those, I believe some of these options can be a good starting point.

Top 10 Features of Linux Mint 21 “Vanessa”
======
**We round up Linux Mint 21 “Vanessa” top features. Find out what’s in store for you.**
![Linux Mint 21 Cinnamon Desktop][1]
Linux Mint 21 “Vanessa” is the 36th release of [Linux Mint][2], which carries a good list of features along with several usability improvements across the desktop. The features are scattered across the Cinnamon desktop, core changes, Xapps updates and more.
I have summarized all of them in this list of top features of Linux Mint 21.
### Top Features of Linux Mint 21 “Vanessa”
#### 1. Ubuntu 22.04 and associated updates
Perhaps the most crucial change is the base of Linux Mint 21, which is now based upon [Ubuntu 22.04 “Jammy Jellyfish”][3]. The last major release, i.e. Linux Mint 20 “Ulyana”, was based on Ubuntu 20.04 “Focal Fossa”, when released four years back. The state of the world in 2020 was utterly different, considering everything going on.
Hence, a lot of packages, version upgrades, and new performance improvements – all these under-the-hood updates come to Linux Mint 21. That includes the latest LTS [Linux Kernel 5.15][4], which brings further hardware lineup support, and toolchain updates for programming, development and networking.
#### 2. Major changes in the Timeshift backup tool
A few months back, the Mint team [announced][5] that they are taking over developing the popular backup tool Timeshift and continuing its development as a “XApps”. So, this is a significant change. Why, may you ask?
Well, the developer of the Timeshift tool, Tony George, is busy with other projects. You may have heard about “[TeeJeeTech][6]” apps for Linux. It was created by Tony and had some cool apps. However, he doesn’t have the time to concentrate on Timeshift development and enhancement.
![Timeshift creating snapshot][7]
With that said, since Linux Mint now maintains it, some new features land in this release, such as Timeshift now determining how much disk space you need for the next backup in rsync mode (not in btrfs mode). In addition, it stops the backup process if it seems the disk space is less than 1 GB after the backup.
#### 3. WebP Support
WebP image is a reasonably new image format created by Google for the web. It brings better compression and reduced size while maintaining good quality to traditional JPEG or PNG images.
WebP support (view images, thumbnail or edit) in Linux Desktop requires some [additional installation][8] of packages. Looking at the popularity Linux Mint team brings out-of-the-box WebP support across the desktop apps and flavours.
That means Nemo file manager can show thumbnails of WebP images and view them in xviewer. The mint team always thinks about the end-user first because other distros are still behind on supporting WebP by default, such as Ubuntu. Not only that, the new app [xapp-thumbnailers][9] now helps Nemo file manager to preview additional file types as well:
- ePub
- MP3 with Album Arts
- RAW Images
- AppImage
#### 4. Process Monitor
A small but handy process monitor tool will give you a heads-up on what’s happening in your system. This little icon at the system tray shows up when your system is undergoing automatic updates or backup by TImeshift. Your system may become slow in those situations, and this nifty icon can show you why.
#### 5. Improved printing support
Linux Mint is well equipped for devices, and the printer supports it by default. This edition of Mint brings [Internet Printing Protocol (IPP)][10] for driverless printing and scanning.
In addition, HP’s driver, HPLIP’s latest edition (3.21.12), is also installed by default.
All these changes streamline printer and scanner usage. And users like you can enjoy effortless printing and scanning. It is such an essential aspect of a Linux distro, but it doesn’t work all the time. While [reviewing many distros][11], I found many fails to detect the printers or even print.
It’s good to see that the mint team contributed to this critical functionality.
#### 6. Window Animation updates
There are some considerable changes come in the Window and desktop animation effects. Firstly, the Effects settings for Windows and desktop are merged now. Earlier, separate sections gave more granular control of the animations.
Here’s a side-by-side view.
![][12]
![][13]
Secondly, the mapping windows and desktop effects options are removed.
Third, a new control changes the animation speed from slower to faster.
Finally, a global switch to disable or enable all the animation on the entire desktop gives you the option for more control.
I believe this is a well-designed dialog and advanced options for better clarity.
#### 7. Mutter rebase
Let’s talk about [Cinnamon desktop version 5.4][14], which comes with Linux Mint 21. It’s the latest Cinnamon release, and Mint is the first distro to bring it to the user (other than traditional Arch Linux folks, who got it [a little early][15]).
Finally, the team completed the rebase of Mutter into its window manager, Muffin in Cinnamon 5.4. Since Muffin was initially forked from Mutter, it was always lagging behind the upstream Mutter features, despite the backporting of changes. A significant amount of effort went to feature inclusion, bug fixes & clean up to make Muffin as close to the Mutter code base.
Hence, in the future, it is now easier to port back changes from Mutter upstream and clean things in Muffin as needed.
#### 8. Window manager and GTK Themes
With the changes in Muffin, the team also moved some of the display settings from gnome-control-center to cinnamon-control-center. In addition, the display configs from csd-xrandr moved into the Muffin window manager in Cinnamon 5.4. Apparently, you may not see any difference in the Display settings window. However, you may see some performance boost and fewer bugs or issues while scaling displays or in high-res windows.
Another critical change that the Mint team introduced via CInnamon 5.4 is the uniform render of GTK dialogs in apps. Earlier, if a GTK app used a header bar, then the dialog was a mix of CSD (client side decoration) and GTK themes.
Now with Cinnamon 5.4, all the windows are rendered using the GTK theme irrespective of their design. And with that, the legacy Metacity themes also dropped.
On a side note, I loved the Metacity, and its “legacy look” when [they were a thing][16] in the early days of GNOME.
#### 9. Package Management updates
Following the trends of Debian, KDE Plasma desktop, Linux Mint also protects your system from uninstalling critical dependent packages.
When you try to uninstall, Mint now checks the dependencies and whether critical desktop packages will be removed.
If found, you get an error message that stops you from going further.
On the other hand, when you successfully uninstall a package, it cleans up all the dependencies with it installed.
#### 10. Disable the Systemd OOMD (out-of-memory daemon) service
The “systemd-oomd” had some bad feedback recently since the Ubuntu 22.04 LTS release. Users across the web [reported][17] the sudden closing of applications (such as Firefox) without any warning or user intervention. Further investigation pointed to the “not so well” implementation of the systemd-oomd service.
In theory, the [systemd-oomd.service][18] monitors your system for out-of-memory situations, and it has the authority to kill any processes which consume more system resources. Ubuntu team did not communicate this with importance, which eventually led to an unpleasant user experience.
With that knowledge, Linux Mint 21 decides [not to feature][19] this service and disables it. Because the user base of Linux Mint is general users, students, etc., it would be a bad experience for users if apps closed unexpectedly.
![Systemd OOMD service is not enabled][20]
#### 11. Other Changes
Finally, let’s round up some tiny yet impactful changes to wrap up the Linux Mint 21 features.
- The default document reader app Xreader is now capable of minor annotation. This is a handy feature.
- The WebApp manager now brings custom browser parameters.
- Warpinator file transfer utility now shows you other sources on Windows, Android and iOS devices.
- Mint packages Firefox web browser as deb and not the Snap version, which defaults in Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. Thanks to the Mint team, users need not worry about the [complex set of commands][21] to remove the Firefox Snap from Jammy.
![Firefox 102 in Linux Mint 21 - Exclusively packaged as deb executable][22]
- The bulk renamer app Thingy gets some UI improvements.
- The os-prober of GRUB2 is now available to detect all the operating systems in your hardware (handy for dual boot or more systems).
- The Bluetooth manager Blueman replaces Blueberry, bringing additional features for connecting and managing your Bluetooth devices.
- Finally, new wallpapers for your new desktop arrive in this release.

### Things that are NOT changing
From a very high level, you might feel that most of the Linux Mint 21 remain the same as its predecessors. The default desktop looks and default wallpaper remains the same. Xfce and MATE desktop didn’t have any major releases. Hence they are precisely the same. In addition, the default icon theme, application menu, etc., may give you a similar feel to the entire desktop.
### Wrapping Up
Overall, a good set of features benefits end users rather than being fancy gestures and stuff. For this very fact, Linux Mint is the best Linux distro today for beginners or end users. So, that concludes the feature highlights of Linux Mint 21.
You can download/update Linux Mint 21 from the [official website][24]. Also, stay tuned for our detailed distro review of Linux Mint 21 soon.
What do you think about the new features of Linux mint 21? Is there any feature you expected but didn’t arrive in this release? Let’s discuss this in the comment box below.

How to Enable ‘Dark Mode’ in LibreOffice
======
**Tutorial for you on how to enable dark mode in LibreOffice in Ubuntu, Linux and Windows systems.**
[LibreOffice,][1]the free and open-source office productivity software, is used by millions worldwide. This cross-platform software runs on Windows, Linux, and other distributions.
Millions of users around the world use LibreOffice. Probably that includes you. And everyone seems to prefer dark mode these days. And there are some advantages as well.
Research suggests that dark mode protects eyes for extended use of mobiles and computers and saves a bit of battery as well, especially for AMOLED displays. That’s not all, dark mode makes the text looks crisp and clear and improves productivity.
Dark mode can be enabled for apps and system-wide as well if your system – Linux or Windows supports it.
LibreOffice doesn’t provide a direct dark mode, per se. But you can tweak some settings with its dark icon themes to make it dark with the help of your OS settings. This is how you can do it. Remember these settings should also be applicable for Windows, Linux, and macOS from LibreOffice’s perspective.
### How to Enable Dark Mode in LibreOffice
We will explain it in two steps – a) **Windows** and b) **Linux**. Because for both the OS, LibreOffice look different due to their OS-specific own dark themes.
##### Windows
The dark mode will look a bit different if you use Windows. Windows 10 doesn’t provide application-specific dark mode at the moment. The Windows 10 dark mode is limited to the start menu and certain applications (such as Google Chrome Windows build).
- Open LibreOffice. Open any component – Writer, Calc etc.
- From the menu, click on `Tools -> Options`.
- On the Options dialog, on the left side, click on `Personalization`.
![][2]
- Select the `pre-installed` theme – dark.
- Go to Application Colors, and select the document background as Black. You can also choose the Application background as Black.
- If you want to change to a dark theme, change it from the View options on the left.
![][3]
Once done, press OK.
That’s all. Enjoy your dark or night mode of LibreOffice in Windows.
If everything works well, you will see the Writer or Calc like below.
![LibreOffice Writer in dark mode in Windows][4]
![LibreOffice Calc in dark mode in LibreOffice][5]
##### Ubuntu, Linux
- Open LibreOffice. Open any component – Writer, Calc etc.
- From the menu, click. `Tools -> Options`.
- Go to Application Colors, and select the `document background` as `Black`. You can also choose the `Application background` as `Black`.
- If you want to change to a dark icon theme, change it from the View options on the left for better visibility of the toolbar icons. I recommend selecting any of the icon themes with the name “dark” – see below.
![Changing Application Colours Settings in LibreOffice][6]
![Select a dark icon theme for LibreOffice][7]
- Then, from Settings, select any dark GTK theme (e.g. Adwaita Dark) and apply. LibreOffice is more compatible with Ubuntu. Hence the GTK dark themes are correctly applied.
- If you are using the latest Ubuntu, Fedora, then select `Settings > Appearance > Dar`k. This will apply systems wide dark theme and applies automatically to LibreOffice.
- For other desktops, such as KDE Plasma and Xfce – select any applicable dark theme for your desktop, and you should be good.
That’s all. Your LibreOffice should look like the one below.
