The guide walks readers through installing Neofetch on CentOS 9 Stream, explaining that the script isn’t in the default repositories and must be pulled from the Community‑RPM‑Bundle (CRB) repository. It breaks the process into four clear steps: enable CRB with `dnf config-manager`, refresh the metadata cache, install the package using `dnf install neofetch -y`, and verify the installation by checking the version output. After covering these basics, the article offers optional customizations such as adding a rainbow‑colored banner to the shell prompt or editing the configuration file to tweak which system details appear, and it shares a real‑world anecdote where a kernel update caused Neofetch to fail until CRB was reenabled. Finally, it encourages readers to enjoy the colorful snapshot of their system each time they open a terminal, emphasizing how quick and straightforward the whole process is.

On a fresh CentOS 9 Stream machine you can bring in the official RAR extractor quickly by enabling EPEL, turning on RPM Fusion free, then installing the unrar package with dnf; this gives you a statically linked binary at /usr/bin that works out of the box. If you need the absolute newest features or 64‑bit support for very large archives, download the latest source tarball from Rarlab, build it with make after installing Development Tools, and copy the unrar executable into /usr/local/bin so that it supersedes any older version. Before installing remember to confirm you have sudo rights, check your firewall isn’t blocking repository access, and clear dnf’s cache if previous attempts failed; missing GPG keys or conflicting binaries are common stumbling blocks that can be fixed by re‑enabling the repo or choosing a single location for the binary. After installation simply run unrar x on a test archive to confirm everything extracted cleanly, and enjoy reliable extraction of legacy .rar files without corrupting data.
The guide takes you step‑by‑step through installing a legacy Telnet client on CentOS 9 Stream, stressing that root or sudo privileges are required and that the network must be reachable before you start. It shows how to confirm that both AppStream and BaseOS repositories are enabled, then simply pulls the telnet package with dnf from the standard repository. A quick test against time.nist.gov on port 13 verifies that the client works, while the article supplies troubleshooting advice—such as reinstalling missing plugins or checking firewall rules—if you encounter a “telnet: command not found” error or connectivity problems. Finally, it covers installing a Telnet server with telnet-server and xinetd, but reminds readers that the protocol is unencrypted and should never be exposed to the open Internet.
The guide shows how to install a lightweight Xfce desktop on CentOS 9 Stream, pointing out that it can speed up boot times and cut RAM usage after a heavy GNOME update. It lists the prerequisites of root or sudo access and internet connectivity, then explains enabling EPEL before running `dnf groupinstall "Xfce Desktop"` to bring in core components and a display manager. Optionally it demonstrates swapping GDM for LightDM with `dnf install lightdm` and systemctl commands, followed by a reboot so the new session loads correctly. The final sections give quick tests, troubleshooting advice for missing desktops or crashes, and conclude that Xfce offers an efficient, familiar environment suitable for modest hardware.
The guide explains how to add the Remi repository to a CentOS 9 Stream system so you can install newer PHP, MariaDB, and other packages that the base repositories do not provide yet. It begins with prerequisites—root or sudo access and a clean environment—then shows installing EPEL, downloading the signed remi-release‑9.rpm to populate /etc/yum.repos.d, resetting any existing PHP module, and enabling the desired Remi stream such as php:remi‑8.2. After confirming that the repository is listed as enabled with dnf repolist, cleaning the cache, and updating, the article lists common pitfalls like omitting EPEL or using legacy yum-config-manager commands that can cause module conflicts. Finally, it weighs the benefits of quick access to cutting‑edge software against potential compatibility issues, noting that hobby projects may stick with default repos while developers needing PHP 8.2 or newer MariaDB will find importing Remi a simple and reliable solution.

This guide walks you through installing MariaDB 10.9 on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, explaining why the newer version offers thread‑pooling and improved JSON handling over the default 10.3 that ships in the official repositories. It begins by purging any lingering MySQL or MariaDB packages so a clean install can proceed without conflicting libraries, then adds MariaDB’s own repository using a script that also imports the proper GPG key. After updating the package cache you install the server, run `mysql_secure_installation` to lock it down, and optionally enable thread pooling by editing `/etc/mysql/mariadb.conf.d/99-threadpool.cnf` before restarting the service. Finally, the article shows how to verify the installation with a quick query, lists common pitfalls such as missing updates or stray binaries, and reminds you to adjust bind‑address settings if remote access is needed.
The guide takes you step‑by‑step through installing Sublime Merge on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, starting with a system update and then downloading the official Debian package from Sublime’s download page.
It shows how to install that .deb file with dpkg, run “apt‑get install –f” if dependencies are missing, and then confirm the binary is in /usr/bin/sublime_merge.
After verifying the executable you can set Sublime Text as Git’s default editor, create a test repository, and launch Merge to see the commit history pop up instantly.

The guide walks readers through checking their current SQLite version, enabling CentOS 9 Stream’s AppStream and BaseOS repositories, and installing the stable sqlite package via dnf. It explains that the default dnf install pulls both runtime binaries and development headers so users can immediately compile projects in Python, PHP or C. For those needing a newer patch not yet in the repo, the article offers step‑by‑step instructions to download, build from source and adjust system paths, while warning that manual builds mean you must handle future updates yourself. Finally it lists common pitfalls—such as disabled repos, missing devel packages or path confusion—and reminds readers to double‑check the repository list first before troubleshooting.
