No illusions here, because it is a pretty transparent question and you don’t have to be an overwhelmingly smart person to understand it. Here is a handy list of straight facts about why Linux will always be your secondary operating system and not your primary one:
as of 2024 we have over 600 [!!!] distributions of Linux, just look at [distrowatch]
Why do we need them all? plethora of desktop environments > 50 [if we count only major ones it will be close to 20] As if three variations were not enough?
[HighTreason]
is not that active these days, so i have to find a solid substitute for my retro hardware cravings. And, oh boy, that was not an easy task to complete, i can barely find a solid reviewer among hundreds of sellouts, boring and just plain ignorant vloggers.
But in the end of the day i found him! Yeah, it is [RetroSpector78]
from Belgium. His speciality is producing reviews of obscure and rare pieces of computer hardware [primarily from 80s-90s era] with episodic dives into the software field.
Color profiling in Linux is a rather obscure and unpopular topic, so I decided to cover it on the pages of this website. KDE and other modern heavy desktop environments are often have preinstalled tools to work with color profiles, but in this note we’ll talk about importing of color profiles in my favorite lightweight environment called XFCE. In some Arch-based distributions like Manjaro everything works out-of-the-box, but that is not the case when it comes to EndeavourOS, which I am currently studying to migrate from Windows 7 in upcoming future.
Firsts things first, for better file handling install [Midnight Commander]
:
sudo apt-get install mc Download fresh version of webserver software:
sudo apt-get install apache2 Locate and edit configuration file:
/etc/apache2/apache2.conf Note that in some distributions it can named as httpd.conf.
No file at all? You can create it by:
touch apache2.conf For relatively easy editing i recommend Nano editor.
sudo apt-get install nano CTRL+O ► to save file CTRL+X ► exit file Here is an example for locally placed development webserver, containing two sub-domains.
Say you are trying to install software and receive message from the operating system about untrusted certificate in certificate chain. In such case you need to import certificate of the middle-man organization into the Linux certificate storage to make things happen.
If for some reason your third-party certificate comes in DER binary format, you should convert it to CRT format:
openssl x509 -inform DER -in certificate.der -out certificate.crt Copy to storage:
░ PREFACE WORDS In this post I would like to share some Unix experience I have gained while deploying a website under certain conditions. The testbed environment was created using VirtualBox 7 on a Windows 7 operating system. I chose [OpenBSD]
because of it’s unparalleled focus on security and privacy features. It is also unusual and very unpopular. And of course because of [OpenBSD slogan]
: Only two remote holes in the default install, in a heck of a long time!

Here is a collection of plugins for VS Code, which can improve coding workflow dramatically. Currently i’m using [Codium]
, it is an open-source fork of VS Code, that is why provided links are heading to [non-ms marketplace]
.
BENEFITS:
performance optimized telemetry can be completely turned off no network connections to servers of evil corpo can be executed on Windows 7 machine [v1.87] FAVORITE PLUGINS:
UPDATED ON: 2024-12-28 !!!!Post will be updated in the future, so be on the edge!!!! Here is a comprehensive list of the most trusted ban-overriding solutions to date to circumvent network censorship. For those of you who are suffering from obsolete freedom violators. All mentioned software are compatible with Windows 7 and Android 8. Linux users will surely find what they are looking for without my help.
Take a note that there are a zillion network configurations out there, so just because something works for me doesn’t mean it will work for everyone else.
Recently i had [some frustrations]
with Manjaro Linux. Most notable for me were:
not so good compatibility with Windows 7 [dual booting is working, but after Manjaro updated, Windows 7 stopped working for some reason]. some problems with Nvidia drivers strange power management system not properly working keyboard backlit on Dell laptop So, i went to [DistroWatch]
and instantly noticed [EndeavourOS]
, which was already among popular distributions and rapidly climbing to the top.
