The guide walks you through adding Oracle’s MySQL 8.0 repository to Ubuntu, downloading the configuration package, installing it with dpkg, and then running an apt update so that the newest binaries become available. Once mysql‑server is installed it asks for a root password and immediately runs a secure installation script that removes anonymous accounts, blocks remote root logins, deletes test databases, and reloads privilege tables. You can confirm the server’s health by checking its status with systemctl, connecting to the MySQL shell, and running a simple SELECT version() query; this gives you an instant sanity check. Finally, the article reminds you to keep your packages up‑to‑date, back up regularly, and points out common troubleshooting steps such as inspecting journal logs if the service fails to start.

The guide walks you through installing Waterfox on Linux Mint 21 or 20, highlighting that the browser offers a lightweight, privacy‑focused alternative to Firefox with legacy extension support and no telemetry. It starts by ensuring the required 64‑bit libraries are present, then directs readers to download the correct .deb package—whether 32‑bit, 64‑bit, or ARM—using wget. After placing the file in Downloads, the instructions show how to install it via dpkg, fix missing dependencies with apt, and also explain optional steps for setting Waterfox as the default browser through system settings or mimeapps.list. Finally, common hiccups such as launch issues, kernel compatibility problems, or add‑on failures are addressed so users can enjoy a stable, update‑free browsing experience.
On Rocky Linux 8 and 9 this article walks you through installing the handy process viewer htop with step‑by‑step commands and clear explanations of why each is necessary.

After installation it demonstrates how to launch and verify the program, pointing out where its executable resides and what to do if something goes wrong.

On Ubuntu 22.10, 22.04 or 20.04 this guide shows how to install the Rust compiler and Cargo with just a few commands, starting by updating the system so you avoid glibc‑related build crashes. While the Ubuntu repository offers a precompiled binary for quick testing, it recommends rustup because that tool keeps your compiler, Cargo and standard library in sync across updates. After installing, you can verify everything works by running rustc --version and cargo --version, then creating a simple hello_world project to confirm Cargo is functional before dealing with common pitfalls such as leftover Ubuntu‑repo binaries that clash with rustup paths. If you need the latest language features, the article explains how to switch to nightly builds but cautions that they may be unstable for production use.
