Installing Add-ons and Builds in Kodi

These builds come pre-configured with skins, addons, and settings that make your Kodi experience even better. In this guide, I’ll walk you through the steps of installing a Kodi build, using the Diggz Xenon Build as an example. The same method is used for installing add-ons to Kodi.

5 Open-source Local AI Tools for Image Generation I Found Interesting

by: Abhishek Kumar Ever since I realized that AI was shaping the future, I’ve been fascinated by its endless possibilities. I’m someone who enjoys testing large language models (LLMs) on my devices, and the open-source approach to data has always been my preference. Why? Because open-source projects empower us to have control, privacy, and customization, which is essential in today's data-driven world. When I decided to explore AI image generation, it felt like a natural extension of this min

ArmSoM CM5: Powerful Replacement for Raspberry Pi CM4

by: Abhishek Kumar From the title, you might be thinking: yet another clickbait post. But I mean it when I say this, ArmSoM has truly delivered something special. ArmSoM, yet again, has sent us their Compute Module 5 (CM5) with its IO board for review. Last time, I tested and reviewed their AIM7 board, and my head was blown by its sheer performance. With an RK3588 SoC, 8GB of RAM, and 32GB of storage, it was a beast. This time around, we’re looking at the CM5, powered by the RK3576, a slight

21 Jargon Every Linux User Should Know

by: Ankush Das Whether you are a Windows/macOS user, or someone who is new to computers, Linux often comes as a challenge to everyone when they encounter unfamiliar terms. You do not usually come across Linux-specific jargon in standard high school academic computer books, unless there is a dedicated chapter for Linux. So, for the majority of users who never used Linux, the terms associated will sound alien to them. With this article, I aim to change that by explaining some of the important j

I Ran Deepseek R1 on Raspberry Pi 5 and No, it Wasn't 200 tokens/s

by: Abhishek Kumar Since the launch of DeepSeek AI, every tech media outlet has been losing its mind over it. It's been shattering records, breaking benchmarks, and becoming the go-to name in AI innovation. DeepSeek v/s OpenAI benchmark | Source: Brian Roemmele Recently, I stumbled upon a post on my X feed (don’t judge me, I’m moving to Bluesky soon!) where someone claimed to have run Deepseek on a Raspberry Pi at 200 tokens/second. My head started spinning. "wHaaaTTT?!" Naturally, I doom-s

Best Kodi Builds to Spice Up Your Media Server Experience

by: Abhishek Kumar While I’ve always enjoyed Kodi’s default skin, I’ve found that it can get a bit "boring" after a while. That’s when I started exploring Kodi builds, these pre-packaged setups not only refresh the interface but also bring in various features and add-ons that make the experience more exciting. After spending some time fiddling with different builds, I’ve collected the ones I find particularly interesting and amazing. Whether you're new to Kodi or looking for a fresh look, the

Autostart AppImage Applications in Linux

by: Abhishek Prakash One of the main downside of using AppImages is the lack of desktop integration. This can be achived using AppImage Launcher tool. Another problematic part is the lack of support for autostarting an AppImage application when the system restarts. With some effort, you can achieve that, too. The method involves twp steps: Creating a desktop file for the application Adding this desktop file to autostart application list Let me show you the process in detail. Step 1: Create

How I am Moving Away From Google's Ecosystem

by: Ankush Das Google's ecosystem includes several products and services. It is one of the prominent ecosystems on the internet with a dominating market share. While I believe their products require no introduction, as a formality, I should mention some of them as Gmail, YouTube, Google Chrome, Google Drive, Google Search, Google Photos, and Google Gemini. Considering I am an Android user, and prioritize my convenience, I have been using Google services for a long time now. However, I have de

How to Install DeepSeek R1 Locally on Linux

by: Abhishek Kumar DeepSeek has taken the AI world by storm. While it's convenient to use DeepSeek on their hosted website, we know that there's no place like 127.0.0.1. 😉 Source: The Hacker News However, with recent events, such as a cyberattack on DeepSeek AI that has halted new user registrations, or DeepSeek AI database exposed, it makes me wonder why not more people choose to run LLMs locally. Not only does running your AI locally give you full control and better privacy, but it also ke

Installing Arch Linux with BTRFS and Disk Encryption

by: Sreenath On our Arch installation video, a viewer requested a tutorial on installing Arch but with BTRFS and with encryption enabled. And hence this tutorial came into existence.

Don't Believe These Myths About Dual Booting Linux and Windows

by: Ankush Das One of the superpowers of having a computer is dual booting. You can have two operating systems installed on a single computer, and switch between them at boot time. If you are hearing it for the first time, I suggest you read our article on dual booting to learn more about the impressive capability. And, the most popular option to dual boot is Linux and Windows. So, you can have the best of both worlds, without any compromises. However, there are some myths surrounding this co

I Feel Like a Hacker Using These Cool Linux Terminal Tools

by: Sreenath I found it cool enough to watch someone, often portrayed as a hacker, use the Linux terminal, especially in the movies. What if I try to become one of the super cool hackers from the Hollywood movies? 😎 Now that I'm older, I'm no longer fooled by those movie skits 😌 But, I'm still a kid at heart, and I want others to think that I am a secretive hacker when they see me using the terminal.

Rediscovering Plan9 from Bell Labs

by: Bill Dyer During a weekend of tidying up - you know, the kind of chore where you’re knee-deep in old boxes before you realize it. Digging through the dusty cables and old, outdated user manuals, I found something that I had long forgotten: an old Plan9 distribution. Judging by the faded ink and slight warping of the disk sleeve, it had to be from around 1994 or 1995. I couldn’t help but wonder: why had I kept this? Back then, I was curious about Plan9. It was a forward-thinking OS that nev

Getting Started With Linux Terminal

by: Abhishek Prakash The Linux terminal could be intimidating. The dark screen with just commands to use. It's easy to feel lost. The thing is that Linux command line is a vast topic.

Deleting Linux Entry from Boot Menu from Windows After Removing Linux

by: Abhishek Prakash Recently, I bought an Asus Zenbook and dual booted it with Ubuntu. But Ubuntu 24.04 didn't perform well on the new hardware and thus I removed Ubuntu from dual boot. This is typically done by moving the Windows boot manager up the boot order and deleting the Linux partition from within Windows. The annoyance is that Linux will still show up in the UEFI boot settings. Although it doesn't hurt to leave it there, it triggers some sort of OCD in me to get a pristine system w

Using Emacs as Terminal Multiplexer on Windows
