systemd is 10 years old, but feelings about it in the Linux community haven't mellowed---it's as divisive now as it ever was. Although it's used by many major Linux distributions, the hardcore opposition hasn't relented. The Linux Boot Sequence When you power on your computer, the hardware boots, and then (according to the type of boot sector your computer uses) either the master boot record (MBR)

It's 2019, and Windows 10 has too many useless and annoying features. Don't get me wrong: Windows 10 has gotten better and, overall, I love it compared to Windows 8. But some things just need to go. The People Icon Without Any People The My People feature lives on Windows 10's taskbar by default. Click it, and you can chat with people on a variety of different services. You can even pin your favor

Windows 10 has a lot of built-in advertising. This isn't just about the free upgrade offer: Even if you purchase a new PC that comes with a Windows 10 license or spend $200 for a copy of Windows 10 Professional, you'll see ads in your operating system. You can, however, disable a lot of it. Disable Lock Screen Ads Related: How to Disable Ads on Your Windows 10 Lock Screen Windows 10 now displays a

Your Chrome profile stores your browser settings, bookmarks, extensions, apps, and saved passwords. Your profile is stored in a separate folder on your computer, so if anything goes wrong with Chrome, your information is saved. If you ever run into any problems with Chrome, trying a fresh profile can help you troubleshoot. Some tweaks may also require you to manually locate and edit your Chrome pr

Microsoft has been trying to improve the touchpad experience on Windows 10 laptops. Laptops with "Precision Touchpads" are optimized by Microsoft, support standard gestures, and can be configured from the Settings app. Unfortunately, PC manufacturers can opt out of using Precision Touchpads. Now, there's a way to install Precision Touchpad drivers even on laptops that don't ship with them. We test

Spotlight search on Mac OS X shows results from the "Developer" category if you've ever installed Xcode on your Mac. If you still have Xcode installed, there's an easy checkbox to disable this. But, if you've uninstalled Xcode, Spotlight just keeps showing Developer search results with no way to turn them off. This can clutter Spotlight with a lot of search results you may not want to see, especia

Whether you want to occasionally test a website in Safari, or try out a little bit of software in the Mac environment, having access to the latest version of macOS in a virtual machine is useful. Unfortunately, you're not really supposed to do this---so getting macOS running in VirtualBox is, to say the least, tricky. The instructions here apply to older versions of macOS. If you want to install a

Starting with the Windows 10 Creators Update, anyone who installs the Bash environment will get Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial). But, if you've previously installed Bash in the Anniversary Update, you'll be stuck with Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty) until you manually upgrade. Ubuntu 16.04 contains more modern, up-to-date software packages. Ubuntu 14.04 was originally released in April, 2014, while Ubuntu 16.04 was r

Windows 10's new Ubuntu-based Bash shell doesn't function like a normal program. To uninstall it or reset its state to get a fresh Linux environment, you'll need to use a few special commands. Update: As of the Fall Creators Update, you can now uninstall Ubuntu or any other Linux distribution like a normal application. For example, to uninstall Ubuntu, just right-click the Ubuntu shortcut in your

First, enable the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) from the Features window or via the "wsl --install" command. After rebooting your PC, install Ubuntu or any other Linux distribution of your choice from the Microsoft Store. The Windows Subsystem for Linux, introduced in the Anniversary Update, became a stable feature in the Fall Creators Update. You can now run Ubuntu, openSUSE, a remix of Fedor

If you're like me, you might have opened up your Windows 10 laptop today only to see a giant ad for Square Enix's Rise of the Tomb Raider plastered across your login screen. This is the work of the "Windows Spotlight" feature in your Personalization settings, and thankfully, you can turn it off for good.

The exFAT file system is ideal for flash drives and SD cards. It's like FAT32, but without the 4 GB file size limit. You can use exFAT drives on Linux with full read-write support, but you'll need to install a few packages first. Try connecting an exFAT-formatted drive without installing the required software and you'll often see "Unable to mount" error message saying "unknown file system type: 'e

To install the Google Play Store on an Amazon Fire Tablet, you must download the Google Play Store app and its dependencies from a trusted website like APKMirror.com and install them manually. Google doesn't officially offer the Play Store on Fire tablets, but it does work well. Amazon Fire Tablets restrict you to the Amazon Appstore, but they run Fire OS, a custom version of Android. That means y

Windows 10 includes built-in universal apps that cannot be easily hidden or uninstalled from the Start menu. It is best to ignore them if you don't want to use them. Some built-in apps can be uninstalled normally by right-clicking on them in the Start menu. This method works for certain apps like Get Office, Get Skype, and Microsoft Solitaire Collection. If you want to uninstall other built-in app

Windows 10 includes a package management tool built into PowerShell. In the final version, it's named "PackageManagement", but it's still based on an open-source project named OneGet. PackageManagement (aka OneGet) isn't technically a package manager. It's a package manager manager -- a framework and set of PowerShell cmdlets that can manage different types of software from different places in a s

It's a scary time to be a Windows user. Lenovo was bundling HTTPS-hijacking Superfish adware, Comodo ships with an even worse security hole called PrivDog, and dozens of other apps like LavaSoft are doing the same. It's really bad, but if you want your encrypted web sessions to be hijacked just head to CNET Downloads or any freeware site, because they are all bundling HTTPS-breaking adware now. Re

Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to try a new version of Ubuntu while knowing you can return to the previous version if you don’t like it? We’ll show you a tool that allows you to take a snapshot of your system at any time. TimeShift is a free tool that is similar to the System Restore feature in Windows. It allows you to initially take a snapshot of your system and then to take incremental snapshot

Forget the Windows Store. Microsoft is working on a Linux-style package management framework for Windows, and it's included with Windows 10. It's being tested with Chocolatey's existing packages, and allows you to easily install desktop applications and other software.This is huge news. If you've ever used Linux, you've probably wanted a package management system for the Windows desktop ever since

We warned you at the beginning of the year that many of your browser extensions are spying on you, tracking what you are visiting, and even inserting ads into pages. These aren't just no-name developers either: even Avast, one of the most trusted antivirus vendors was in on the game. Update 2: We just want to point out that this happened in the past, and Avast has cleaned up their act. They have a

Ubuntu and most other Linux distributions now use the GRUB2 boot loader. You can change its settings to select a default operating system, set a background image, and choose how long GRUB counts down before automatically booting the default OS. We configured GRUB2 on Ubuntu 14.04 here, but the process should be similar for other Linux distributions. You may have customized the original GRUB's sett

Ubuntu and practically every other Linux distribution use the GRUB2 boot loader. Unless you have multiple operating systems installed, this bootloader is normally hidden -- but it provides options you may sometimes need. The boot loader is the part of Linux that loads when you first boot up your computer. It normally just boots the Linux kernel, which loads the rest of the operating system -- but

Linux distributions tend to use two different types of release cycles: standard releases and rolling releases. Some people swear by rolling releases to have the latest software, while others like standard releases for being more stable and tested. This isn't an option you change in your current Linux distribution -- instead, it's a choice the Linux distribution itself makes. Some distributions rel

W3M is a terminal web browser for Linux. It’s got a few tricks up its sleeve, including support for images, tabs, tables, frames and other features not usually included with terminal web browsers.
