11 Vibe Coding Tools to 10x Your Development on Linux Desktop

by: Abhishek Kumar Tue, 15 Apr 2025 05:41:55 GMT Once upon a time, coding meant sitting down, writing structured logic, and debugging for hours. Fast-forward to today, and we have Vibe Coding, a trend where people let AI generate entire chunks of code based on simple prompts. No syntax, no debugging, no real understanding of what’s happening under the hood. Just vibes. Coined by OpenAI co-founder Andrej Karpathy, Vibe Coding is the act of developing software by giving natural language inst

Birth of Unix

by: John Paul Wohlscheid Sun, 13 Apr 2025 14:34:36 GMT Sometimes it feels like Unix has been around forever, at least to users who have used Linux, or BSD in any form for a decade or more now. Its ideals laid the groundwork for Linux, and it underpins macOS. A modern version (FreeBSD) is used on thousands of servers while Linux rules the server space along with the super computer industry. Even though the original form of it is a history, it remains a significant development to help start

Formatting Text in Logseq

by: Sreenath Fri, 11 Apr 2025 15:09:58 GMT Logseq is a highly efficient note-taking and knowledge management app with decent Markdown support. While using Logseq, one thing to keep in mind is that the text formatting isn't pure Markdown. This is because Logseq uses bullet blocks as the basic unit of content and also supports Org-mode. Whenever you start a new document or press Enter after a sentence, a new block is created — and this block can be referenced from anywhere within Logseq. That

FOSS Weekly #25.15: Clapgrep, APT 3.0, Vibe Coding, AI in Firefox and More

Installing Logseq Knowledge Management Tool on Linux

by: Sreenath Mon, 07 Apr 2025 16:18:54 GMT Logseq is a versatile open source tool for knowledge management. It is regarded as one of the best open source alternatives to the popular proprietary tool Obsidian. While it covers the basics of note-taking, it also doubles down as a powerful task manager and journaling tool. Logseq DesktopWhat sets Logseq apart from traditional note-taking apps is its unique organization system, which forgoes hierarchical folder structures in favor of interconnec

7 Code Editors You Can Use for Vibe Coding on Linux

by: Abhishek Kumar Sat, 05 Apr 2025 06:40:23 GMT There was a time when coding meant painstakingly writing every line, debugging cryptic errors at 3 AM, and pretending to understand regex. But in 2025? Coding has evolved, or rather, it has vibed into something entirely new. Enter Vibe Coding, a phenomenon where instead of manually structuring functions and loops, you simply tell AI what you want, and it does the hard work for you. This approach has taken over modern software development. To

FOSS Weekly #25.14: Fedora 42 COSMIC, OnePackage, AppImage Tools and More Linux Stuff

by: Abhishek Prakash Thu, 03 Apr 2025 04:28:54 GMT Linux distributions agreeing to a single universal packaging system? That sounds like a joke, right? That's because it is. It's been a tradition of sort to prank readers on 1st of April with a humorous article. Since we are already past the 1st April in all time zones, let me share this year's April Fool article with you. I hope you find it as amusing as I did while writing it 😄 No Snap or FlatPak!

5 Tools to Enhance Your AppImage Experience on Linux

by: Sreenath Wed, 02 Apr 2025 10:50:07 GMT The portable AppImage format is quite popular among developers and users alike. It allows you to run applications without installation or dependency issues, on virtually any Linux distribution. However, managing multiple AppImages or keeping them updated can sometimes be a bit cumbersome. Fortunately, there are third-party tools that simplify the process, making it easier to organize, update, and integrate AppImages into your Linux system. In this

FOSS Weekly #25.13: Kernel 6.14, Zorin 17.3, EU OS, apt Guide and More Linux Stuff

by: Abhishek Prakash Thu, 27 Mar 2025 04:38:19 GMT Rust in Linux kernel is not news. You already know about that. But Rust in GNU is a big move. It seems that a Rust rewrite of GNU's coreutils (meta package that gives us commands like cp, ls, dd, mv etc) will be included in Ubuntu's upcoming release. This concerns many hardcore Free Software supporters, as they see it a move to take GNU out of GNU Linux. What are your thoughts on it? 💬 Let's see what else you get in this edition Chimera Lin

Setting Up Ollama With Docker

by: Abhishek Kumar Tue, 25 Mar 2025 13:41:16 GMT Ollama has been a game-changer for running large language models (LLMs) locally, and I've covered quite a few tutorials on setting it up on different devices, including my Raspberry Pi. But as I kept experimenting, I realized there was still another fantastic way to run Ollama: inside a Docker container. Now, this isn’t exactly breaking news. The first Ollama Docker image was released back in 2023. But until recently, I always used it with a

That's a problem, right? But it can be easily fixed by creating a desktop entry for that AppImage application. Let me show you how to do that. Step 1: Create a

Must Know Ollama Commands for Managing LLMs locally

by: Abhishek Kumar Mon, 17 Mar 2025 15:44:13 GMT Ollama is one of the easiest ways for running large language models (LLMs) locally on your own machine. It's like Docker. You download publicly available models from Hugging Face using its command line interface. Connect Ollama with a graphical interface and you have a chatGPT alternative local AI tool. In this guide, I'll walk you through some essential Ollama commands, explaining what they do and share some tricks at the end to enhance your

by: Abhishek Prakash Thu, 13 Mar 2025 04:27:14 GMT Keeping your laptop always plugged-in speeds up the deterioration of its battery life.

Prolong Laptop Battery Life in Linux by Limiting Charging Levels

by: Abhishek Prakash Tue, 11 Mar 2025 12:50:25 GMT In case you didn't know it already, regularly charging the battery to 100% or fully discharging it puts your battery at stress and may lead to poor battery life in long run. I am not making claims on my own. This is what the experts and even the computer manufactures tell you. As you can see in the official Lenovo video above, continuous full charging and discharging accelerate the deterioration of battery health. They also tell you that t

From OpenBSD to Linux: How Pledge can Enhance Linux Security

by: Community Sat, 08 Mar 2025 08:54:21 GMT Imagine a scenario, you downloaded a new binary called ls from the internet. The application could be malicious by intention. Binary files are difficult to trust and run over the system. It could lead to a system hijacking attack, sending your sensitive files and clipboard information to the malicious server or interfere with the existing process of your machine. Won’t it be great if you’ve the tool to run and test the application within the defin

FOSS Weekly #25.10: Skype is Dead, GNOME 48 Features, Ubuntu Versions, Nano Guide and More Linux Stuff

by: Abhishek Prakash Thu, 06 Mar 2025 05:27:13 GMT Skype is being discontinued by Microsoft on 5th May. Once a hallmark of the old internet, Skype was already dying a slow death. It just could not keep up with the competition from WhatsApp, Zoom etc despite Microsoft's backing. While there are open source alternatives to Skype, I doubt if friends and family would use them. I am not going to miss it, as I haven't used Skype in years. Let's keep it in the museum of Internet history. Speaking

Using On-Screen Keyboard in Raspberry Pi OS

by: Abhishek Prakash Wed, 05 Mar 2025 03:12:16 GMT From Kiosk projects to homelab dashboards, there are numerous usage of a touch screen display with Raspberry Pi. And it makes total sense to use the on-screen keyboard on the touch device rather than plugging in a keyboard and mouse. Thankfully, the latest versions of Raspberry Pi OS provide a simple way to install and use the on-screen keyboard. On-screen keyboard on Raspberry PiLet me show how you can install the on-screen keyboard supp

Top 7 Best Open Source Skype Alternatives In 2025

by: Sourav Rudra Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:04:00 GMT May 5 2025, is the day Skype will cease to exist as Microsoft retires it, pushing people to switch to their Teams offering. The death of Skype was a slow one, but one that has been coming for quite some time now. While it may be appealing to switch to Teams, it is still Microsoft, the not-so-privacy friendly company☠️ So, why not give open source Skype alternatives a chance instead?
