PDF Mix Tool 1.0.1 Now Lets You Edit Metadata with an Improved UI & Qt 6 Support
|
||||
======
|
||||
|
||||
[PDF Mix Tool][1] is one of the [best PDF editors for Linux][2] and an alternative to [PDF Arranger][3].
|
||||
It is a neat and simple GUI tool for manipulating pdf files and allows you to modify your files (rotating, splitting, extracting from files), not their content, however.
|
||||
|
||||
Although this application does not come with a lot of tools, it provides a concise toolset so you can manipulate your documents.
|
||||
|
||||
After a year of no new releases, the developer is back with another release (1.0.1) with some significant improvements.
|
||||
|
||||
Let us discover what features this release has to offer.
|
||||
|
||||
### Improved User Interface (UI)
|
||||
|
||||
There is now a left sidebar containing icons for all the operations you might need to perform. Each one of the icons has a respective function and its name below it.
|
||||
|
||||
![][4]
|
||||
|
||||
This is not a big makeover but helps enhancing the user experience, which should be the focus for a useful tool like PDF Mix Tool.
|
||||
|
||||
### PDF Metadata Editing
|
||||
|
||||
![][5]
|
||||
|
||||
You can now modify your document’s title, author, subject, keywords, creator, producer, and creation and modification dates. Thus, you can edit your document’s metadata easily.
|
||||
|
||||
### Support for Qt 6.0
|
||||
|
||||
PDF Mix Tool is written in C++, and it relies on **qpdf** and the **Qt** library to make its magic work. It supports [Qt 6.0][6] now, which will affect the UX positively.
|
||||
|
||||
### Other Improvements
|
||||
|
||||
* PDF Mix Tool now adds right-to-left support in page composition.
|
||||
* Links, annotations, and outlines are preserved as much as possible in all operations.
|
||||
* This version fixed some bugs.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
You can check out the [official changelog][7] in their GitLab page.
|
||||
|
||||
### Summing Up
|
||||
|
||||
Despite its reputation for being a lightweight, PDF Mix Tool is a handy application that delivers essential capabilities to the user.
|
||||
|
||||
You can get it from [Flathub][8] or [Snap store][9]. For Arch Linux users, you may not find the latest release in the repositories or the [AUR][10]. In either case, you can build it from source that can be found on [GitLab][11].
|
||||
|
||||
You may want to go through our [Flatpak guide][12] or the tutorial for [using Snaps in Linux][13] to get help with installation.

Edward Snowden Thinks GIMP Needs a Major UI Overhaul
|
||||
======
|
||||
|
||||
Edward Snowden’s recent tweet praised what free and open-source software can achieve.
|
||||
|
||||
In the tweet, he highlights that every time he uses Blender (an open-source 3D software suite), it reminds him of the advantages of FOSS and the growth of the ecosystem.
|
||||
|
||||
He did not just limit to that, in a follow-up reply to the same thread, he also tagged **GIMP** and added, “**I’m really hoping for a major UI overhaul. You guys could be eating Adobe’s lunch.**“
|
||||
|
||||
> P.S. [@GIMP_Official][1], I'm really hoping for a major UI overhaul. You guys could be eating Adobe's lunch.
|
||||
>
|
||||
> — Edward Snowden (@Snowden) [July 18, 2021][2]
|
||||
|
||||
### Does GIMP Require a Major UI Overhaul?
|
||||
|
||||
![][3]
|
||||
|
||||
[GIMP][4] is one of the most effective free and open-source image manipulation tools available.
|
||||
|
||||
It is actively used by professionals and all kinds of individuals to get a variety of things done.
|
||||
|
||||
You can even [make a GIF in GIMP][5]. Hence, it is tailored for simple and advanced tasks.
|
||||
|
||||
While it offers a learning curve to get used to its UI, it is good enough functionality-wise.
|
||||
|
||||
Does it require a UI overhaul?
|
||||
|
||||
Yes, as per the trends, all kinds of designing/editing tools are working to improve the user-friendliness factor, GIMP may have missed out on this front.
|
||||
|
||||
Of course, a sudden UI change may affect the workflow for a lot of veteran users. But, it does require a UI overhaul to beat its competitors like Adobe’s tools.
|
||||
|
||||
Also, with an easy-to-use interface, it will attract more users, potentially helping it grow and monetize the project even further.
|
||||
|
||||
And, it is also clear that Snowden thinks the same way, which is why he is hoping for a major UI overhaul while expecting GIMP to challenge Adobe tools in a big way.
|
||||
|
||||
### Why is GIMP Not Working on a Major User Experience Overhaul Yet?
|
||||
|
||||
Unfortunately, GIMP does not have regular UX contributors or developers to work on a major overhaul.
|
||||
|
||||
They mentioned it as a reply to one of the tweets in Snowden’s tweet thread:
|
||||
|
||||
> “We worked with a UX architect between 2005 and 2012. Good things came out of it. We make small UX improvements in almost every update now that point releases (e.g. 2.10.24) are allowed to have new stuff. But we don’t have a regular UX contributor or devs for a huge overhaul”
|
||||
|
||||
Well, this is definitely a sad thing for such a popular project that gets immense love from thousands of users.
|
||||
|
||||
And, I hope, after Snowden’s tweet, the GIMP project gets more traction and we see regular contributors to help evolve GIMP with the love it deserves.
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to help, you can explore [GIMP’s contribution page][6] to learn more about helping the project.
|
||||
|
||||
_Feel free to let me know your thoughts on GIMP and if you find it useful. Do you think that it needs a major UI overhaul, comments section is all yours!_

You Can Now Use KDE Connect in Windows as Well
|
||||
======
|
||||
|
||||
KDE Connect is a popular open-source tool that lets you share a connection between a phone and your computer.
|
||||
|
||||
While it was always limited to the Linux platform, it looks like that it is coming to Windows after all.
|
||||
|
||||
And, cross-platform availability of software is always a good thing.
|
||||
|
||||
### What is KDE Connect?
|
||||
|
||||
In case you are coming across it for the first time—KDE connect lets you share files, links, sync notifications, gives you the ability to reply to messages, and more.
|
||||
|
||||
You can also choose to control your desktop and perform some custom commands remotely. And, you can also use your phone to control the volume/skip the music playing on your computer.
|
||||
|
||||
### KDE Connect Available as Beta in Microsoft Store
|
||||
|
||||
![][1]
|
||||
|
||||
As per a Reddit thread posted a few weeks back, a KDE contributor mentions that the beta version is available from the [Microsoft Store][2].
|
||||
|
||||
However, it is only accessible through the private link and cannot be found when you search for it in the Microsoft Store.
|
||||
|
||||
This also marks official support for Windows.
|
||||
|
||||
![][3]
|
||||
|
||||
### KDE Connect for Windows: Here’s How it Looks
|
||||
|
||||
![][4]
|
||||
|
||||
You just need to make sure that both of your devices are connected to the same network.
|
||||
|
||||
Next, all you have to do is pair them and then start sharing files/links, browse your phone, and also get notifications.
|
||||
|
||||
You can choose to tweak some of the options that include storage paths for shared images or change the sound to play when you try to ring the device.
|
||||
|
||||
![][5]
|
||||
|
||||
As you can notice here, you have a variety of options to make use of.
|
||||
|
||||
I tried connecting my Android device for a while, and it worked just fine. You may want to explore more to learn what else you can do with it.
|
||||
|
||||
### Why is it Good News for Windows Users?
|
||||
|
||||
Undoubtedly Windows users already had plenty of options to achieve the same functions without KDE Connect. But with KDE connect onboard, it will finally provide the opportunity to use an open-source and privacy-friendly tool that they can pair their devices with.
|
||||
|
||||
After all, you would not want your notifications, and links/files that you share to be spied upon by a shoddy third-party application.
|
||||
|
||||
In that case, KDE Connect is your friend.
|
||||
|
||||
Even though it is in beta right now. You can try it out by visiting the link and installing it from the Microsoft store.

||||

Top 9 Features in the Newly Released Zorin OS 16 Linux Distribution
|
||||
======
|
||||
|
||||
Zorin OS 16 is a gorgeous Linux distribution. With the latest release, there are several helpful feature additions to the distribution.
|
||||
|
||||
While we have [highlighted the key updates in our release coverage][1], I shall focus on some of the best features you can find in Zorin OS 16.
|
||||
|
||||
### 1\. Jelly Mode
|
||||
|
||||
![][2]
|
||||
|
||||
Jelly Mode adds an engaging animation when you minimize or move the window on your screen.
|
||||
|
||||
It is more like a wobble effect when you move the windows and a fluid effect when you minimize or launch an app.
|
||||
|
||||
Unlike other animation improvements, this is quite a pleasing effect to enhance the user experience.
|
||||
|
||||
### 2\. Windows 11-like Layout
|
||||
|
||||
![][3]
|
||||
|
||||
Considering that Windows 11 made a lot of buzz for its launch, it only makes sense for Zorin OS to offers a familiar layout.
|
||||
|
||||
After all, it is one of the best Windows-like Linux distributions out there.
|
||||
|
||||
The Windows 11-like layout is only available in the Zorin Appearance settings for Pro users. So, get the Pro edition if you want to support the development and get access to some extra layouts.
|
||||
|
||||
### 3\. Touchpad Gestures
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to get a seamless touch experience with your laptop/touchpad, Zorin OS 16 is here to the rescue.
|
||||
|
||||
A simple three-finger pinch would help you navigate to the activity overview and dabble between active windows.
|
||||
|
||||
And a four-finger swipe up/down will let you switch between workspaces.
|
||||
|
||||
### 4\. Windows Software Detection
|
||||
|
||||
![][4]
|
||||
|
||||
Zorin OS 16 utilizes a database of popular Windows software to detect if you download a .exe file and want to install it.
|
||||
|
||||
This is incredibly useful for beginners considering that it also informs the alternative or the correct way to install the software on Linux.
|
||||
|
||||
Even if it does not have exact instructions for the Windows software you downloaded, it prompts you to install “**Windows App Support**” when trying to access the .exe file.
|
||||
|
||||
![][5]
|
||||
|
||||
### 5\. New Photos App
|
||||
|
||||
![][6]
|
||||
|
||||
The default photos or image viewer is often untouched when a distribution is updated. But, with Zorin OS 16, you get a more straightforward and clean photo management app.
|
||||
|
||||
You get essential options like cropping, adding filters, enhancing the image, and screencasting to the devices connected to your network.
|
||||
|
||||
### 6\. Flathub Apps
|
||||
|
||||
![][7]
|
||||
|
||||
You no longer need to install Flatpak applications from the terminal separately. Flathub is now included with the Software center.
|
||||
|
||||
So, you can effortlessly search for Flatpak applications right from the Software app.
|
||||
|
||||
### 7\. Taskbar and Dash Customization
|
||||
|
||||
With Zorin OS 16, you get a variety of customization options to tweak the appearance of the taskbar, panel, and dock.
|
||||
|
||||
![][8]
|
||||
|
||||
Starting from the transparency to its position, behavior, size, and more. These options should let you tweak your user experience.
|
||||
|
||||
### 8\. Taskbar Unread Icons and Progress bar
|
||||
|
||||
The taskbar is usually static for most of the Linux distributions. Here, you finally get an unread badge counter in the taskbar, and it also supports a new progress bar for tasks like file transfer.
|
||||
|
||||
The progress bar is a helpful addition, given that you do not have to open the app repeatedly to watch the progress.
|
||||
|
||||
### 9\. New Sound Recorder App
|
||||
|
||||
![][9]
|
||||
|
||||
You do not have to opt for a third-party application to record basic voice-overs, podcasts, or voice notes.
|
||||
|
||||
The built-in sound record app offers a clean and easy-to-use interface. So, it should be a breeze to use it.
|
||||
|
||||

Zorin OS 16 is a Visual Spectacle! You Can Download This New Linux Release Right Now
|
||||
======
|
||||
|
||||
Zorin OS 16, one of the most anticipated Linux distros, based on Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS, has arrived.
|
||||
|
||||
With the latest release, they now offer a new “Pro” edition replacing the “Ultimate” edition that comes loaded with a few applications pre-installed and a couple of extra layouts.
|
||||
|
||||
Moreover, you get technical support for installation if you get the Zorin OS 16 Pro to support the developers.
|
||||
|
||||
The base edition is Zorin OS 16 “Core,” is free, which includes all the essentials.
|
||||
|
||||
In this article, I shall highlight the key new additions along with my initial impressions of Zorin OS 16.
|
||||
|
||||
### Zorin OS 16: What’s New?
|
||||
|
||||
Zorin OS 16 may not be as big of an upgrade compared to [elementary OS 6][1], but there are significant improvements across the board. Let us take a look at them.
|
||||
|
||||
### Refined User Interface
|
||||
|
||||
![][2]
|
||||
|
||||
The user interface remains familiar, but they have revamped the default theme and worked on the animations to present a polished look.
|
||||
|
||||
Subtle differences to the default transparency setting, theme, icons, and animations impact the overall user experience.
|
||||
|
||||
While you can notice the differences with Zorin OS 16 Core, the Pro edition takes it up a notch with the stunning new wallpapers and premium layouts available out-of-the-box.
|
||||
|
||||
### Flatpak Enabled
|
||||
|
||||
![][3]
|
||||
|
||||
Previously, Zorin OS supported snap right out of the box with its Software center. Now, with Zorin OS 16, Flathub has been enabled by default.
|
||||
|
||||
So, you can find plenty of applications available, including Flatpak packages in the Software manager.
|
||||
|
||||
You can even select a different package (if it is available) from the dropdown menu available in the top-right corner (as shown in the screenshot above).
|
||||
|
||||
### Improved Tour Screen
|
||||
|
||||
![][4]
|
||||
|
||||
They have also revamped their welcome screen to help you set up all the important things right from the start.
|
||||
|
||||
You get to configure online accounts, connect your smartphone with Zorin Connect, and get a head start on the available layouts to choose from.
|
||||
|
||||
### Windows 11-like Layout
|
||||
|
||||
![][2]
|
||||
|
||||
In my previous [Zorin OS 16 beta][5] coverage, I mentioned a potential Windows 10X-like layout was in the works.
|
||||
|
||||
Considering that Windows 10X no longer exists, the new layout is an alternative to Windows 11 experience.
|
||||
|
||||
Do note that you need to purchase the Zorin OS 16 Pro if you want to access Windows 11-like layout on your system.
|
||||
|
||||
### New Touchpad Gestures
|
||||
|
||||
For laptop or touchpad users, you can now swipe up/down with four fingers to move between workspaces and pinch using three fingers to open the activities overview.
|
||||
|
||||
### New Sound Recorder App
|
||||
|
||||
![][6]
|
||||
|
||||
A clean sound recording app to help you quickly record voice notes or podcasts without worrying about 3rd party applications.
|
||||
|
||||
### Performance Improvements
|
||||
|
||||
Even though I don’t have a figure, I observed some noticeable performance improvements compared to my experience with Zorin OS 15.
|
||||
|
||||
For instance, switching between different layouts is an entirely seamless experience.
|
||||
|
||||
As a side note, I tested Zorin OS 16 Pro on my desktop with **i5-7400, 16 GB RAM,** and **a GTX 1050ti** graphics card.
|
||||
|
||||
I always have my doubts when it comes to Nvidia driver compatibility. But it worked like a charm.
|
||||
|
||||
The boot menu when installing Zorin OS 16 offered a different option for modern NVIDIA drivers, which is what I chose to install.
|
||||
|
||||
So, yes, **Zorin OS 16’s ISO comes with Nvidia driver support out-of-the-box.**
|
||||
|
||||
### Other Improvements
|
||||
|
||||
![][7]
|
||||
|
||||
There are several other additions to the animation, customization settings, and more with Zorin OS 16. Some of them are:
|
||||
|
||||
* Jelly mode to enable a macOS-like animation when minimizing or opening applications.
|
||||
* Improved taskbar
|
||||
* Introduction of fractional scaling
|
||||
* Active directory domain option in the installer
|
||||
* New photos app
|
||||
* Disabled telemetry and tracking in Firefox browser for better privacy
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
To explore more, you can check out [our Zorin OS 16 features list][8] or go through the [official announcement][9].
|
||||
|
||||
### Get Zorin OS 16
|
||||
|
||||
You can download Zorin OS 16 Core for free. If you opt for the Pro edition at **$39**, you also get access to a Pro-lite edition, which will be available to install for old computers.
|
||||
|
||||
The free lite edition and the pro lite version is not yet available and should be coming soon.

KaOS 2021.08 Release Focuses on Visual Changes and Package Updates
|
||||
======
|
||||
|
||||
The built-from-scratch Linux distribution KaOS — which uses KDE, Qt, and [pacman][1] as a package manager, has finally received its fifth update this year. This article will highlight the significant changes that have been brought to the distribution.
|
||||
|
||||
Let us get to know about what this new release brings!
|
||||
|
||||
### Desktop Environment Update
|
||||
|
||||
![][2]
|
||||
|
||||
The new Application Launcher, introduced in Plasma 5.22, is now the new home for accessing apps while the traditional cascading app menu is abandoned.
|
||||
|
||||
The default Midna theme has been given a slightly different look, which can be easily noticed from the boot-up to the logout screen. This includes a darker look for the logout screen, combined with a transparent sidebar for the lockscreen and SDDM, and a minimal look for the splash screen. The icon themes have also been customized accordingly for both the light and dark versions of the theme.
|
||||
|
||||
The desktop environment is now based on Plasma 5.22.4 and the latest Frameworks 5.85.0; both are built on Qt 5.15.2+.
|
||||
|
||||
### Application Updates
|
||||
|
||||
#### KDE Apps
|
||||
|
||||
This update brings the latest KDE Gear 21.08. This includes animated previews of folders and an easy method of renaming folders using F2 and TAB in Dolphin file manager, color and image previews, along with an SSH plugin in Konsole. And, a keyframeable effect for altering the speed of clips in Kdenlive, and a party mode in Elisa.
|
||||
|
||||
Plasma mobile apps are now available on KaOS and are promised to be suitable for desktop use. These apps include Angelfish — web browser, Koko – image viewer, Kalk – calculator, and Kasts – podcasts.
|
||||
|
||||
#### System Apps
|
||||
|
||||
Some Calligra users may be disappointed to learn that LibreOffice is now the default office application. Moreover, other applications like bibletime, speedtest-CLI, and mauikit-accounts have also been added.
|
||||
|
||||
### Calamares installer
|
||||
|
||||
Calamares is now built on QML modules designed specifically for KaOS. This gives it an even and modern look with other apps. This also includes an all-new Users and Summary page.
|
||||
|
||||
![Calamares Summary Page][3]
|
||||
|
||||
You can now select your preferred file system while opting for automated partitioning.
|
||||
|
||||
A handy feature allows the transfer of network settings from the Live system to the newly installed system. Thus, you don’t need to connect your PC to your Wi-Fi again.
|
||||
|
||||
### Other Package Updates
|
||||
|
||||
Several other systems packages have been updated. This should improve the overall compatibility and stability as well. Some package updates include:
|
||||
|
||||
* Systemd 249.3
|
||||
* Curl 7.78.0
|
||||
* NetworkManager 1.32.8
|
||||
* Mesa 21.1.7
|
||||
* Vulkan packages 1.2.187
|
||||
* Udisks 2.9.3, MLT 7.0.1
|
||||
* Openexr 3.1.1
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Do note that this release does not support installation in systems with RAID set up as of now.
|
||||
|
||||
To explore more about the changes, you can refer to the [official announcement][4].
|
||||
|
||||
With this release, KaOS is focused on giving KDE users a streamlined experience. In addition, the installation has been made easier, and power users can definitely make use of the new apps.

Intel’s XeSS Could be the Open-Source Alternative to Nvidia’s DLSS
|
||||
======
|
||||
|
||||
Over the past year, everyone in the PC gaming community has been talking about DLSS and FidelityFX. However, it seems that Linux gamers have been missing out, with DLSS only working through Proton when combined with a beta Nvidia driver and FidelityFX leaving much to be desired in terms of graphics.
|
||||
|
||||
Fortunately, Intel appears to want to change that with their new XeSS frame rate boosting technology. Launching alongside their upcoming Alchemist range of GPUs, it promises the ease of implementation of FidelityFX while competing in terms of image quality with DLSS.
|
||||
|
||||
Here, we will be exploring how this technology works and the incredible impact it will have on gaming on Linux.
|
||||
|
||||
### Is it like Nvidia’s DLSS?
|
||||
|
||||
![][1]
|
||||
|
||||
Similar to DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling), XeSS stands for Xe Super Sampling. AMD’s FidelityFX is a collection of technologies that enable games to run at a much higher frame rate than traditional rendering with minimal loss to visual quality.
|
||||
|
||||
Currently, two different technologies are used to achieve this. These are AI and traditional upscaling, both with various drawbacks and advantages.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Traditional Upscaling
|
||||
|
||||
Unlike AI, this approach has been worked on for many years. Previously, we have seen it being used in many TVs, computer monitors, and even some games to make a lower resolution image (or frame) appear clearer, with decent results.
|
||||
|
||||
This is the technology that AMD has chosen for their FidelityFX. They did this for several reasons; some possible ones include:
|
||||
|
||||
* Easier implementation by game developers
|
||||
* The capability to run on almost any GPU
|
||||
* Proven technology
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
That isn’t to say that it is without its disadvantages, some being:
|
||||
|
||||
* Reduced visual quality compared to AI-based solutions
|
||||
* More limited in opportunities to improve it in the future
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
AMD is currently the only major company using this technology for game upscaling. That means that we must move on to the other major upscaling technology: AI.
|
||||
|
||||
#### AI Upscaling
|
||||
|
||||
![][2]
|
||||
|
||||
It is the latest advancement in upscaling technology used by DLSS and XeSS.
|
||||
|
||||
Unlike traditional upscaling, this approach typically depends on some special hardware to run.
|
||||
|
||||
Specifically, it would help if you had a GPU with dedicated AI cores. On Nvidia’s cards, these come in the form of Tensor cores.
|
||||
|
||||
Because these cores are new, they are only available on 20 and 30 series GPUs, meaning that older cards are stuck with traditional upscaling. Additionally, it is much harder for developers to implement as the AI needs to be “trained,” involving feeding the AI thousands of hours of gameplay.
|
||||
|
||||
Yet, these trade-offs are worth it for many people, as AI provides better image quality and performance.
|
||||
|
||||
This is the route Intel has taken for its solution.
|
||||
|
||||
### Open Source and Upscaling
|
||||
|
||||
DLSS is completely closed source in true Nvidia style, like the drivers that annoyed Linus Torvalds so much.
|
||||
|
||||
Fortunately, Intel is following in the footsteps of AMD, and they plan to open-source XeSS once it’s ready for prime time.
|
||||
|
||||
While there is no significant commitment made by them, but multiple reports suggest that they plan to eventually open-source it.
|
||||
|
||||
This allows them to take advantage of the numerous contributions the open-source community will (hopefully) make. The result should be a fascinating GPU landscape with many different technologies and companies constantly fight for the top spot in upscaling.
|
||||
|
||||
### Intel XeSS
|
||||
|
||||
![][3]
|
||||
|
||||
Compared to Nvidia’s DLSS (XeSS’s main competitor), XeSS promises better performance, visual quality, and ease of implementation.
|
||||
|
||||
So far, we have seen demos running at as much as double the native performance, backing up the performance claims. But that’s press material for now.
|
||||
|
||||
As I mentioned, Intel is planning to make it open-source.
|
||||
|
||||
While it may not be open-source at launch, they intend on open-sourcing once it matures.
|
||||
|
||||
![][4]
|
||||
|
||||
If Intel is to be believed, this could be the killer feature of their upcoming Alchemy GPUs, putting them ahead of both AMD and Nvidia in one single scoop.
|
||||
|
||||
### Final Thoughts
|
||||
|
||||
I am incredibly excited about this feature, more so than I was about DLSS and FidelityFX combined. It should be noted that this is still some time away, with it expected to release in early 2022.
|
||||
|
||||
Overall, it looks like a significant step forward for Intel and maybe the key to them coming back from behind AMD and Nvidia.

SparkyLinux 6.0 Release is based on Debian 11 and Includes a Built-in VPN
|
||||
======
|
||||
|
||||
SparkyLinux 6.0 is a major stable update that utilizes Debian 11 ‘Bullseye’ as its base now.
|
||||
|
||||
While you can go through the [features of Debian 11][1], SparkyLinux 6.0 should reflect some of the perks associated with it.
|
||||
|
||||
Here, we shall take a quick look at what SparkyLinux 6.0 has to offer.
|
||||
|
||||
### SparkyLinux 6.0 “Po Tolo”: What’s New?
|
||||
|
||||
The major highlight of the release is the latest Debian 11 ‘Bullseye’ as its base. The repositories have also been updated to get the latest packages.
|
||||
|
||||
SparkyAPTus AppCenter has replaced the original SparkyAPTus, which is no longer developed.
|
||||
|
||||
![][2]
|
||||
|
||||
You can install, reinstall, and remove applications easily. Not just limited to the applications, but you also get the ability to tweak the pre-configured desktops using it.
|
||||
|
||||
In addition to that, you can remove and install Linux Kernels as well. You can choose from Debian Kernel, Liquorix, Sparky, and XanMod.
|
||||
|
||||
![][3]
|
||||
|
||||
It is worth noting that you will still be able to access all the tools from the old APTus.
|
||||
|
||||
To enhance privacy and security, SparkyLinux has decided to include the non-profit [RiseUp VPN][4] application pre-installed.
|
||||
|
||||
It is a VPN service that relies on donations to keep the network alive and comes with cross-platform support. You can also find it available for Android devices.
|
||||
|
||||
So, this makes it an interesting addition to the distribution. If you are not using any VPN service, this should make things easy.
|
||||
|
||||
The FirstRun app has been replaced with an improved welcome app that guides you through some basic pointers.
|
||||
|
||||
![][5]
|
||||
|
||||
### Other Improvements
|
||||
|
||||
With the latest release, you can also find new wallpapers and updated application packages that include:
|
||||
|
||||
* Thunderbird 78.13.0
|
||||
* VLC 3.0.16
|
||||
* LibreOffice 7.0.4
|
||||
* Calamares Installer 3.2.41.1
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
To know more about the release, you can refer to the [official announcement][6].
|
||||
|
||||
### Download Sparky 6.0
|
||||
|
||||
SparkyLinux 6.0 is available to download with Xfce and KDE Plasma desktop environments. It supports 32-bit systems as well, which is a good thing.
|
||||
|
||||
If you are already running SparkLinux “Po Tolo” rolling release, you need to update your system to get Sparky 6.0.
|
||||
|
||||
Do note that the rolling version will switch to a stable release. So, if you want to stay on the rolling release, you need to wait for a few days.

“Apps for GNOME” is a New Web Portal to Showcase Best Linux Apps for GNOME
|
||||
======
|
||||
|
||||
There are several apps built for GNOME. Most of the stock (default) GNOME apps do not get enough spotlight as a separate mention.
|
||||
|
||||
While Flathub as a platform helps highlight some fantastic applications for GNOME, it limits to Flatpak apps only.
|
||||
|
||||
Also, it is not just dedicated to GNOME, of course.
|
||||
|
||||
Hence, there is a new website to focus more on the GNOME ecosystem and highlight the best GNOME apps.
|
||||
|
||||
### Apps for GNOME
|
||||
|
||||
![][1]
|
||||
|
||||
A [blog post][2] by Sophie Herold on Planet GNOME announced the availability of the platform.
|
||||
|
||||
[apps.gnome.org][3] is where you can find all the GNOME apps, both default and third-party applications tailored primarily for the GNOME environment.
|
||||
|
||||
With this portal, they aim to encourage users to participate and contribute to the development of such applications.
|
||||
|
||||
When you head to explore an app on the platform, you will be presented with plenty of information that includes where to submit feedback for the app, help translate, and contribute financially.
|
||||
|
||||
![][4]
|
||||
|
||||
It is not something out-of-the-box, but it presents all the information related to a GNOME app in a single place.
|
||||
|
||||
You get a complete picture for a GNOME app starting with the description, screenshots, latest version, information about the maintainers, and translation status.
|
||||
|
||||
![][5]
|
||||
|
||||
Not just limited to desktop GNOME apps, but you will also find applications marked with a mobile icon if it is supported on GNOME mobile devices.
|
||||
|
||||
In addition to the key GNOME apps, it also aims to feature applications that do not offer a flatpak package but suits well for the GNOME platform.
|
||||
|
||||
[Apps for GNOME][3]
|
||||
|
||||
### Making Information More Accessible
|
||||
|
||||
I find it much more insightful than what Flathub seems to provide. And, I think this is not just going to help highlight GNOME apps, but it should help new users get to know more about the applications they use.
|
||||
|
||||
Of course, it should also encourage users to get involved, which is the primary focus.
|
||||
|
||||
While KDE already had an [application portal][6], it might need an upgrade if they take Apps for GNOME as an example to improve.
|
||||
|
||||
_What do you think about the Apps for GNOME initiative?_ _Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments._

Open Source Video Editor OpenShot 2.6 Released With AI Effects & Major Improvements
|
||||
======
|
||||
|
||||
OpenShot is one of the most popular [open-source video editors][1] out there.
|
||||
|
||||
It is not just for Linux, but it is an impressive free video editor for Windows and Mac users as well.
|
||||
|
||||
While it was already a functional, easy-to-use, feature-rich video editor, it stepped up a notch with the latest release.
|
||||
|
||||
Here, we discuss some key additions in OpenShot 2.6.0 release.
|
||||
|
||||
### OpenShot 2.6.0 Released: What’s New?
|
||||
|
||||
![][2]
|
||||
|
||||
The primary highlight of this release is the inclusion of AI and computer vision effects. But, there is more to it than meets the eye.
|
||||
|
||||
Here are the highlights for OpenShot 2.6.0 changes:
|
||||
|
||||
* New AI and computer vision effects
|
||||
* New audio effects
|
||||
* New zoom slider
|
||||
* Improved transform tool
|
||||
* Improved video effects
|
||||
* Improved snapping
|
||||
* More emoji support
|
||||
* Improved performance
|
||||
* Bug fixes
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Considering the fundamental changes, OpenShot is now a more compelling option for professional video editors.
|
||||
|
||||
![Official YouTube video for OpenShot 2.6][3]
|
||||
|
||||
### AI Effects
|
||||
|
||||
Taking the help of an AI to process images/videos is becoming increasingly common these days.
|
||||
|
||||
Hence, OpenShot adds the support for AI effects to make it easier to enhance and edit videos.
|
||||
|
||||
One of the features includes eliminating any shake/motion in a video by calculating it.
|
||||
|
||||
![][4]
|
||||
|
||||
You can also track particular objects in a video. This is undoubtedly helpful for animation or any other creative work where you need to follow a specific element of the video.
|
||||
|
||||
Like a real-time feed where the camera detects vehicles, it can also identify objects in the video. While this feature is in beta, it should be fun to experiment with it.
|
||||
|
||||
### Audio Effects
|
||||
|
||||
OpenShot video editor featured most of the essential audio effects. And, in this release, some more important audio effects have been added that include:
|
||||
|
||||
* Compressor
|
||||
* Expander
|
||||
* Echo
|
||||
* Delay
|
||||
* Distortion
|
||||
* Noise
|
||||
* EQ
|
||||
* Robotic voice and whispering voice effects
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### New & Improved Tools
|
||||
|
||||
![][5]
|
||||
|
||||
Vital tools in snapping and transform mode have been improved.
|
||||
|
||||
The improved transform tool lets you resize, rotate, and work seamlessly to create complex animations.
|
||||
|
||||
Furthermore, when trimming the clip, the snapping tool allows you better align the edges of the clips.
|
||||
|
||||
A new zoom slider tool has been added to give you better control over the timeline. You can easily drag and work with a specific portion of the timeline as needed.
|
||||
|
||||
### Other Improvements
|
||||
|
||||
In addition to the essential changes, you can find performance improvements and numerous bug fixes.
|
||||
|
||||
You can find the latest version as an AppImage file as of now. It should reflect soon in the Flathub repository and other sources as well. Consider reading [how to use AppImage files][6] if you are not aware of it.
|
||||
|
||||

Linux Kernel 5.14 Released Right After the 30th Anniversary of Linux
|
||||
======
|
||||
|
||||
Back in June, I looked at [Linux Kernel 5.13][1], where we received preliminary support for the M1, RISC-V improvements, and support for new GPUs.
|
||||
|
||||
Now, Linux kernel 5.14 is here! Linus Torvalds just [announced it on the kernel mailing list][2]:
|
||||
|
||||
![Kernel 5.14 announcement mail][3]
|
||||
|
||||
While this release is not quite as large as the aforementioned one, it still has many improvements, especially for ARM devices.
|
||||
|
||||
Let us take a quick look at the key highlights of this release.
|
||||
|
||||
### Linux Kernel 5.14: What’s New?
|
||||
|
||||
Linux kernel 5.14 contains a wide variety of new features, especially for ARM-based systems. This is all happening despite Linus Torvalds claiming that this is a relatively small release in the initial [kernel announcement][4].
|
||||
|
||||
Fast forward to its release candidate v7 before its final release, Linus mentioned:
|
||||
|
||||
> Most of the changes here are drivers (GPU and networking stand out),
|
||||
>
|
||||
> and the rest is pretty random stuff: arch, tracing, core networking, a
|
||||
>
|
||||
> couple of VM fixes..
|
||||
|
||||
Linus Torvalds, Linux kernel 5.14 RC7 announcement
|
||||
|
||||
This release contains a variety of new features. Here is a list of the key new features present in Linux kernel 5.14:
|
||||
|
||||
* The [Raspberry Pi 400][5] can now work completely with this kernel, thanks to the work done for the past couple of months.
|
||||
* The [Rockchip RK3568 SoC][6] is now supported
|
||||
* Initial support for the Sony Xperia 1/1II and 5/5II
|
||||
* Various updates added for Microsoft Surface Duo
|
||||
* Updates to DIY BananaPi M5 board added
|
||||
* [Important updates][7] for RISC-V
|
||||
* Improved support for Intel Alder Lake P and Alder Lake M graphics cards
|
||||
* New hot-unplug support on AMD Radeon graphics cards
|
||||
* ‘Secret’ memory areas introduced with a new system called ‘memfd_secret’
|
||||
* Improvements to [lower the latency of its USB audio driver][8]s
|
||||
* Improved support for USB4
|
||||
* Initial groundwork to support Intel Alder lake processors
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
In this article, we will be looking at what these features are, and what they mean for the end user.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Raspberry Pi 400
|
||||
|
||||
Last year, the Raspberry Pi Foundation launched the [Raspberry Pi 400][5], a keyboard computer similar to those of the 1980s. Unfortunately, this computer requires a custom kernel version to function due to non-mainline drivers.
|
||||
|
||||
However, with the kernel 5.14 release, this appears to have changed. After months of development, the Raspberry Pi 400 can now be booted using the Linux kernel 5.14. While it is unfortunate for support to take this long, it is much better late than never.
|
||||
|
||||
#### RK35xx SoC Support
|
||||
|
||||
This year has truly been a glorious year for [Rockchip][9]. They started off by launching their rk35xx series of SoCs, with many manufacturers integrating the newly-released SoCs into their products.
|
||||
|
||||
One of the most notable uses of the RK35xx series is in the Quartz64, an SBC developed by [Pine64][10] (which I am currently helping mainline). And Linux 5.14 brings support for one of these SoCs, the RK3568.
|
||||
|
||||
For all the upcoming boards based on this SoC, this inclusion is extremely important as it greatly simplifies distro porting.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Initial Support for Sony Xperia 1/1II and 5/5II
|
||||
|
||||
[Sony][11] is one of the few mobile phone manufacturers that actively support running Linux on their phones. This is demonstrated through their compatibility with operating systems such as [Sailfish OS][12] and [Ubuntu Touch][13].
|
||||
|
||||
Now, with the Sony Xperia 1/1II and 5/5II being mainlined, it should be much easier to get an even wider variety of distributions booted. However, it should be also be kept in mind that this is only initial support, much like Linux 5.13’s M1 support.
|
||||
|
||||
#### RISC-V Updates
|
||||
|
||||
One of the trends I have noticed over the past few kernel updates is the ever-improving support for [RISC-V][14] processors. Last update, we got some significant build system improvements, a re-arranged kernel memory map, and support for the kernel debugging module KProbes.
|
||||
|
||||
This time, it appears that this trend is continuing, with the addition of a few RISC-V-specific improvements. These include:
|
||||
|
||||
* Support for transparent huge pages
|
||||
* An optimized copy_{to,from}_user.
|
||||
* Generic PCI resources mapping support
|
||||
* Support for KFENCE (Kernel Electric Fence) for memory safety error detection/validation
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
While mostly minor, these updates should pave the way for future RISC-V based devices.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Radeon Hot-Unplug
|
||||
|
||||
Perhaps my favorite feature of this release, AMD Radeon cards are getting a new hot-unplug feature. Previously, ripping your GPU out while your system was running would result in a kernel panic. Now, you can remove your (Radeon) GPU at any time and your system will continue to function normally, at least in theory.
|
||||
|
||||
I just hope that this feature works better on Linux than my experience with it on Windows. While I wouldn’t recommend randomly pulling your GPU out of your system mid-update, it is still a nice feature to see, and it will be interesting to see what people do with it.
|
||||
|
||||
#### USB 4 Support
|
||||
|
||||
As we see an increasing number of new laptops shipping with USB 4, it has become more and more important for Linux to start supporting it. Fortunately, the Linux kernel 5.14 has a wide variety of improvements for USB 4 users.
|
||||
|
||||
These include:
|
||||
|
||||
* More USB 4 support added to the thunderbolt core
|
||||
* Build warning fixes all over the place
|
||||
* USB-serial driver updates and new device support
|
||||
* A wide variety of driver updates
|
||||
* Lots of other tiny things
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
While not game-changing, these improvements should help many current and future users of USB 4.
|
||||
|
||||
### Wrapping Up
|
||||
|
||||
Between the improved USB support, multitude of updates for ARM and RISC-V devices, and minor GPU upgrades, this release is looking pretty good. As I mentioned before, I am most excited about the Radeon hot-unplug support, as this should make GPU swapping that little bit easier.
|
||||
|
||||
Similarly to last time, I’d recommend waiting for your distribution to offer official updates before upgrading to Linux kernel 5.14. Fortunately, users of distributions such as Arch and Manjaro should receive the updates very shortly. [Advanced Ubuntu users can install the latest mainline Kernel][15] with some effort though it should be avoided.

Ransomware Disguised as Open-Source Krita Painting App Promo Video
|
||||
======
|
||||
|
||||
Ransomware attacks are exponentially increasing. And, the way it gets distributed evolves every day.
|
||||
|
||||
One of the most effective ways is by using reputable brand names to lure users into downloading malicious files that may end up encrypting your files and demand a ransom.
|
||||
|
||||
And, in this case, some scammers have started using Krita’s name to deceive users through email.
|
||||
|
||||
### Spreading Malware via Email as Krita Officials
|
||||
|
||||
The attackers disguise themselves as the team for Krita, one of the best [digital open-source painting app][1].
|
||||
|
||||
The email mentions that Krita wants to collaborate with your YouTube channel or your social media space to share promotional videos about their software/product.
|
||||
|
||||
And, they mention that this is a paid advertising campaign, so you think you are getting a reward for promoting Krita.
|
||||
|
||||
Here’s how the email looks like (as shared by [Krita on Twitter][2]):
|
||||
|
||||
![][3]
|
||||
|
||||
Once you show interest in promoting Krita, they send you a follow-up mail instructing you to download a press kit containing screenshots, videos, and other materials.
|
||||
|
||||
The link may look similar to the official one like _krita.io, krita.net_, etc.
|
||||
|
||||
In a detailed video shared by a Twitter user, you can see that the link they share is malicious and sometimes goes undetected by Google’s safe browsing feature:
|
||||
|
||||
> Recently, I received the same email. Though I know this is likely a scam, I decided to proceed further just to see how far will they take us. They asked me to download some files and you can watch the full video here: <https://t.co/Mv2p9z3HCa> [pic.twitter.com/P1K2tlHiT4][4]
|
||||
>
|
||||
> — Inside Electronics (@InsideElectro) [August 29, 2021][5]
|
||||
|
||||
While I agree that this is not the best attempt to distribute malware, not everyone is as attentive as this user here.
|
||||
|
||||
### Never Trust an Email Without Proper Verification
|
||||
|
||||
It is easy for attackers to send you emails that you expect or something that may spark an interest in your work.
|
||||
|
||||
Scammers do their homework to know what you like, but always stay cautious no matter what or who appears to be sending the email.
|
||||
|
||||
If an email explicitly asks to enter your personal information, download an attachment, or visit a website to download a file, you need to double-check if it comes from an official source.
|
||||
|
||||
Generally, officials do not ask you to download any file or personal information unless you took action first. So, it is always wise to think twice and run a background check for what you interact with via emails.

Linux Lite Moves to Pay What You Want Model With Version 5.6 Release
|
||||
======
|
||||
|
||||
[Linux Lite][1] has just announced Linux lite 5.6, the fourth installment in their 5.x series of releases. This release brings some major changes, especially in the download process. Other, more subtle tweaks are also shown throughout the OS.
|
||||
|
||||
Here, we will be looking at what is new, what has changed, and how these changes may affect the future of Linux Lite.
|
||||
|
||||
### What Has Changed in Linux Lite 5.6?
|
||||
|
||||
![][2]
|
||||
|
||||
Alongside the new download model, there a few key changes. These include:
|
||||
|
||||
* New features in the Lite Tweaks app
|
||||
* Updated icon theme
|
||||
* New wallpapers
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
While this list is relatively short, there are a couple of meaningful changes.
|
||||
|
||||
### Pay Want You Want Download Model
|
||||
|
||||
Definitely the most impactful change, Linux Lite has moved to a “Pay what you want” download model. For those not familiar with the term, it is a system where the user is encouraged to pay to obtain a download link. Users can still enter $0 to get the download link for free, but it is not immediately clear and does not support the distro.
|
||||
|
||||
This move follows the footsteps of other popular distros, including ElementryOS. While I can see many users being annoyed at this change, it has also been made clear that Linux Lite would die without this change.
|
||||
|
||||
> “This is a road I’d never thought I’d go down, but we have no choice. Either we stagnate and accept the big G’s ever-changing algorithms, or we boldly go where others have dared.”
|
||||
|
||||
Jerry Bezencon
|
||||
|
||||
In hindsight, this change was inevitable, as there is almost no other way for distributions to reasonably sustain themselves (aside from donations). Now we need to see how this change pays off for the developers of Linux Lite.
|
||||
|
||||
### Updated Lite Tweaks App
|
||||
|
||||
With this update, the Lite Tweaks app gets a few improvements. One of these is the ability to completely clear the cache of the Brave web browser. It also has a new option to set Brave as the default web browser.
|
||||
|
||||
The second update within the Lite Tweaks app is a fix for GRUB. This tweak changes the grub entry from “Ubuntu” to “Linux Lite”. However, it should be noted that this option is only available when GRUB is controlled by Linux Lite.
|
||||
|
||||
### Wrapping Up
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to try Linux Lite for yourself, you can [download it from its website][3]. If you are already running Linux Lite, you can update to version 5.6 using the instructions found on the [release announcement][4].
|
||||
|
||||
While minor, this release does have a few improvements scattered around the OS. Most importantly, however, is the fact that Linux Lite can now be self-sustaining, meaning that we will continue to see more features added with every release. I think this is much better that the distro dying, don’t you?

Lakka Linux 3.4 Brings Fidelity FX Support With the New RetroArch 1.9.9
|
||||
======
|
||||
|
||||
For years now, [RetroArch][1] has been the gold standard in emulation, thanks to its ease of use and simplicity. Similarly, [Lakka][2] has gotten a name by using RetroArch to create an incredibly smooth and straightforward experience for its users.
|
||||
|
||||
Hence, we have recommended it in the past to [turn your old PC into a retrogaming console][3].
|
||||
|
||||
It is always a great day when these two large projects announce new releases, and it looks like we have some exciting news with Lakka 3.4 and RetroArch 1.9.9 release.
|
||||
|
||||
Here, we will be looking at some of the new features announced in RetroArch 1.9.9 and Lakka 3.4 and the significant impact on the future of emulation.
|
||||
|
||||
### What’s New?
|
||||
|
||||
With this release, RetroArch has introduced some useful and impactful new features. These include:
|
||||
|
||||
* AMD FidelityFX support for all games
|
||||
* Windows users can now use HDR on many games
|
||||
* New touchscreen menu for the Nintendo DS
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Lakka (which includes RetroArch) has also received some welcome improvements.
|
||||
|
||||
* Improved stability
|
||||
* 3 new cores for the PS1, PS2, and DOS
|
||||
* Updated Mesa to version 21.2.1
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Here we focus on the key highlights and, primarily, Integrated FidelityFX.
|
||||
|
||||
#### FidelityFX For Retro Games
|
||||
|
||||
![][4]
|
||||
|
||||
When AMD announced its open-source alternative to DLSS back in June, we could never have predicted the incredible impact it would have on emulation.
|
||||
|
||||
For those not aware, [FidelityFX][5] allows games to run at a lower resolution while retaining the same image quality, dramatically improving the performance.
|
||||
|
||||
Now, with the RetroArch 1.9.9 release, this technology is being brought to RetroArch and Lakka. This is great because it allows older games designed to run at a low resolution to look much better without resorting to mods or texture packs.
|
||||
|
||||
Overall, I expect this addition to be widely appreciated, especially by people looking for a more modern version of their favorite retro games.
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to learn more about FidelityFX and upscaling, I’d highly suggest you check out [our article on Intel’s XeSS where we explain all this][6] and how it impacts you.
|
||||
|
||||
#### New Touchscreen Menu For Nintendo 3DS
|
||||
|
||||
One of the more interesting ports of RetroArch, the Nintendo 3DS, has also gotten a cool new feature. This comes in the form of a touchscreen menu for the bottom screen, which shows a few useful shortcuts without covering the game.
|
||||
|
||||
While this doesn’t apply to Lakka, users of RetroArch running on top of another distribution should receive this change once RetroArch 1.9.9 lands in the repositories.
|
||||
|
||||
### Wrapping Up
|
||||
|
||||
Overall, [RetroArch 1.9.9][7] and [Lakka 3.4][8] are looking to be significant upgrades, especially with the new integration with FidelityFX.
|
||||
|
||||
As we have already seen, with emulators such as [RPCS3][9], FidelityFX can provide significant graphical improvements on older games, so it is exciting to see this come to RetroArch.
|
||||
|
||||
_What do you think about FidelityFX being used for retro games? Let me know in the comments below!_

elementary OS 6 ODIN Released. This is What’s New.
|
||||
======
|
||||
The team announced the release of elementary OS 6 ODIN, and it is
|
||||
immediately available for download. We recap the release in this post.
|
||||
![elementary OS 6 ODIN Desktop][1]
|
||||
|
||||
The elementary OS 6 code named “ODIN” was a long due. This release coming after more than two years since its predecessor, [elementary OS 5.1 Hera][2]. A lot had happened in the last two years, that includes a full-fledged pandemic. Despite all the challenges, roadblocks – a brand new and much awaited release is here.
|
||||
|
||||
Let’s take a look at what’s new.
|
||||
|
||||
### elementary OS 6 Odin – What’s New
|
||||
|
||||
The team promises the following items in a nutshell in this release:
|
||||
|
||||
> Empowering you to be in control and express yourself,
|
||||
> Continuing to innovate with new features, and
|
||||
> Making elementary OS easier to get and more inclusive
|
||||
|
||||
* This release is based on Ubuntu 20.04 and Linux Kernel 5.8. If you ask me, it’s late at this moment to have a new version of a distro based on Ubuntu 20.04 whereas next LTS is due in 2022.
|
||||
* Dark theme and new ascent color is introduced in this release. With the dark theme enabled, all the default applications, windows automatically adapt to dark mode. This mode also can be set based on sunset and sunrise at your location.
|
||||
* The ascent colors applied across the system when chosen. A fair and nice list of assent colors are available.
|
||||
* The new dark theme is designed such as way that third party app developers can easily integrate their application to follow elementary OS stylesheet.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
* All apps in AppCenter are now Flatpak apps which runs in their separate sandbox. This is one of the best move by elementary team and all the Flatpak apps requires separate permission controls via settings.
|
||||
* If you are a touchpad/touch device fan, then you are in for a treat. Three finger swipe up gestures brings up the activities overview.
|
||||

|
||||

Firmware updates are provided for supported devices by hardware manufacturers like Star Labs, Dell, Lenovo, HP, Intel, Logitech, Wacom, 8bitdo, and many more—now supported devices can get the latest updates for security and stability straight from System Settings → System → Firmware or by searching the Applications Menu for “Firmware.”
|
||||
* Native applications are updated and redesigned completely. Epiphany browser is renamed as Web. Mail is completely rewritten with tighter integration with online accounts.
|
||||

### How to Upgrade

|
||||
|
||||
### Closing Notes
|
||||
|
||||
There is no question that elementary OS is a one-of-a-kind Linux Distribution today. And its popularity is increasing everyday due to the awesome Pantheon desktop. It is one of the rare Linux distribution which appeals both macOS and Windows users. That said, I think the development process requires a bit faster and two years of the wait between versions is too long for IT. This release is based on Ubuntu 20.04 which is already two years old, and we have a new LTS coming up on 2022. And of course there is no upgrade path. I believe if the team work on these aspects, considering dedicated developers, donations, I think it would be one of the best Linux distro.

SparkyLinux 6.0 “Po-Tolo” Released Based on Debian 11 Bullseye
|
||||
======
|
||||
We review the SparkyLinux 6 “Po-Tolo” and round up the release.
|
||||
[SparkyLinux][1] is a desktop-based Linux distribution based on Debian and provides almost all major desktop flavors. It is a unique distribution in the sense that it provides both Debian Stable and Debian Testing editions with the latest desktop packages. SparkyLinux also provides a collection of curated applications, with some special editions as well. For example, if you are a Game lover, then the SparkyLinux GameOver edition is there. For system admins, there is a Rescue Edition as well to fix broken systems. All these special editions come with pre-loaded games, utilities with some proprietary packages as well.
|
||||
|
||||
The latest release of SparkyLinux 6 brings the packages from [Debian 11 Bullseye][2], which released a while back. Let’s take a look at what’s new.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### SparkyLinux 6 – What’s New
|
||||
|
||||
* SparkyLinux 6 is based on Debian 11 Bullseye.
|
||||
* Powered by Linux Kernel 5.10.x LTS
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
* This distribution maintains its own repo, and it is now updated with Bullseye packages.
|
||||
* The default and necessary applications are updated to their respective Debian stable version. Here’s a quick update:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
– Firefox 78.13.0ESR instead of Firefox (latest)
|
||||
– Thunderbird 78.13.0
|
||||
– VLC 3.0.16
|
||||
– LibreOffice 7.0.4
|
||||
– Calamares 3.2.41.1
|
||||
|
||||
* The default AppCenter – APTUS is included in this release which provides you curated 2000+ applications which can be installed via a simple GUI with one-click. This is one of the best feature of SparkyLinux, specially for new users or large deployments.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
* The APTUS – AppCenter also provides one-click features for the followings –
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
System upgrade
|
||||
Search packages
|
||||
Fix broken packages
|
||||
Edit repo
|
||||
Clean up cache
|
||||
…and more
|
||||
|
||||
* Desktop environments retain their current stable versions with Sparky flavors –
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Xfce 4.16
|
||||
KDE Plasma 5.22
|
||||
LXQt 0.17
|
||||
|
||||
* Other changes include, the MinimalGUI version changed file manager to PCManFM and browser to Firefox ESR.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Detailed changes with information is available [here][4].
|
||||
|
||||
### Download, Upgrade and Install
|
||||
|
||||
If you are using an earlier version of SparkyLinux, simple making a system upgrade takes you to SparkyLinux 6.0. No additional steps are required.

|
||||
|
||||
For fresh installation with respective Desktop environments – refer below link for download. You can use [Etcher][6] or similar utility to create LIVE usb for fresh installation. Do not forget to turn off secure boot if you are installing in UEFI systems.

||||
|
||||
### Sparky Linux 6 – Quick Review
|
||||
|
||||
* I ran SparkyLinux in a virtual machine and native install, both with Xfce desktop edition for a quick test. The installation went smooth, thanks to the awesome Calamares installer. No surprises there.
|
||||
* After initial boot, a welcome screen guides you to go over the important items if you may want to read. SparkyLinux takes care of system configurations based on GUI based utility. For example, you do not need to open terminal and run “sudo apt upgrade” to update your system. It’ll prompt you that an upgrade is available, you give admin password, and it takes care of it.
|
||||
* SparkyLinux is super stable thanks to Debian and very lightweight. In idle scenario, the Xfce desktop with SparkyLinux was consuming around 600 MB of memory and most of the CPU is used by respective desktop window manager which is at around 5%.
|
||||
* If you are using KDE Plasma or LXQt – the memory and CPU usage should vary, but they would not fluctuate much.
|
||||
* The APTUS – AppCenter plus system administration utility is one of the best feature which makes it stand apart among other distributions.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
![APTus APPCENTER in SparkyLinux][8]
|
||||
|
||||
* And the good thing is, it gives you flavors of Debian Rolling and Debian Stable both. If you want to use Debian Rolling packages in SparkyLinux, then you can get it out-of-the-box.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
That said, it’s a simple, stable and user-friendly distribution. Give it a try if you have not yet; It is a perfect and suitable daily-usage distro.
|
||||
|
||||
Cheers.
