While many experienced users customize the Arch Linux experience to provide some of the best user experiences (in terms of its UI), it could be challenging for new Linux users.
That's the problem XeroLinux solves.
It gives you a stunning beautiful KDE by default on top of the Arch Linux.
Now you can flaunt this beauty without any added effort.

But not many people know about it.
For most Linux users, it's just a text editor but it can easily double up as a lite IDE and improve your coding experience in Gedit.
I am mentioning some of my favorite tweaks here.
For detailed steps on the tweaks mentioned here, please check our text article:

For most users, that’s all there is to Neofetch.
But Neofetch is highly customizable. You can display any ASCII logo instead of the distribution’s, filter out the information to display or replace the logos with cowsay messages.
You can get all the commands and their details here: itsfoss.com/using-neofetch

They may not have graphics like PS5 games but they are fun nonetheless
Some of these games also bring back the nostalgia for the 80s and 90s kids I believe.
Installation instructions for the games can be found here 👇

And that's not the only unique thing about this new distro. It brings AUR packages to Ubuntu fold.
Sounds interesting? Let's see more about it.

What I like in the new GNOME Console:
- Desktop notifications for command completion
- Color changes for terminal activities
What I don't like in the new GNOME Console:
- Almost no customization option
In Ubuntu 22.04, you can install the GNOME Console using this command:
sudo apt install gnome-console
More details and steps on making it the default terminal: itsfoss.com/gnome-console
It comes with new installer, firmware update app, improved support for Raspberry Pi, new application versions and Linux kernel.
But that;s not the focus of this video. This one focuses on visual features, the changes that you can see.
22.04 has the latest GNOME version 42 and hence brings several visual changes from this GNOME release.
In this video, I'll show you 9 such visual changes in Ubuntu 22.04. Some are minor while some are unprecedented.

It's not 2022 yet but we wanted to end 2021 on a higher note and hence this video.
Linux Mint 20.3 should be releasing soon but you don't have to wait for the final release to see what's new in it. Let us do that for you in this video.
elementary OS 6.0 was an exciting release. If you haven’t explored that yet, I suggest you go through the features introduced with elementary OS 6.
After four months of its release, elementary OS 6.1 is here!
You can get started by downloading it. But, before that, you may want to explore the exciting new changes mentioned here.

Zorin OS provides a lite edition for every release powered by Xfce desktop environment for computers with limited resources. However, it wasn’t available for Zorin OS 16 until now.
Yes, finally, Zorin OS 16 Lite is releasing today with the Pro edition!
Ankush takes the Pro edition of Zorin OS 16 Lite for a quick test and shares his experience in this review.
Fedora 35 was released a couple of weeks ago and we have prepared a short video to show how it looks and what new feature it brings.
Hope you like this.
With GNOME 41, there are no significant workflow changes but new feature additions and improvements across the board.
Let me mention the key highlights of GNOME 41.
- GNOME 41 Software Context Tiles
- New Multitasking Options
- Power Saving Settings
- GNOME Calendar Improvements
- Touchpad Gestures
- GNOME Connections App
- SIP/VoIP Support
- GNOME Web / Epiphany Improvements
GNOME 41 will be available in rolling release distributions. Fedora 35 will have it when it releases in October. Ubuntu 21.10 will NOT have it.
Please don't try this at host.
Just kidding, folks 😄
I did a simple video in a virtual machine to show you what would happen if you run sudo rm -rf / --no-preserve-root on your Linux system.
By now, you already know that this is a dangerous command that should be avoided. The danger part is / actually which is the symbol for the root directory.
For more details, please check out this text article: itsfoss.com/sudo-rm-rf
When you install Linux using WSL on Windows, you are asked to create a username and password. This user is automatically logged on when you start Linux on WSL.
Now, the problem is that if you haven’t used it for some time, you may forget the account password of WSL. And this will become a problem if you have to use a command with sudo because here you’ll need to enter the password.
Don’t worry. You can easily reset the WSL Password. Just follow the video.
Step 1: Switch to root as default user
ubuntu config --default-user root
Step 2: Reset the password for the account
passwd username
You have to change the username in the above command with the actual user name.
Step 3: Set regular user as default again
ubuntu config --default-user username

In this scenario, your system comes preloaded with Windows 10 with a small SSD and a large HDD.
Where do you install Linux on it? On the SSD or HDD? Or on both (yes, you can do that and you will do that in this video).

Enjoy!
This makes the dual booting procedure a tad bit different than the usual procedure.
In here, you have to disable BitLocker encryption first and then start the dual boot process. After completing the dual boot, you re-enable the BitLocker encryption.
The important thing here is that you have to make a back up of your BitLocker recovery key. This is super important.
This video shows all these steps in details.

Garuda Linux is fairly new to the Linux world and is aiming to provide the greatest performance, offering all the modern and attractive features.
Even though you can choose various desktop environments, it is clear that their flagship desktop is a heavily customized KDE Plasma with a dark, neon look. It certainly makes it one of the most beautiful Linux distributions out there?
