Editing files in Linux terminal can be scary, specially if you have to deal with something like Vim or Emacs. Thankfully, we have Nano editor which makes it easier to edit files in the command line.
Though it is easier, it still involves a learning curve.
This is why I created this micro course to show all the essentials of Nano editor.

Installing applications from the downloaded .deb files in Ubuntu has been a pain lately,
Earlier, just double clicking it on a .deb file would open it for installation in the Software Center.
Later, it was changed a bit and you would have to right-click open with Software Center.
Now the Snap based Software Center refuses to install the third-party .deb files.
The alternate method is to install deb file using a GUI tool like Gdebi or use the commands like apt or dpkg.")
