In a tutorial, Pop!_OS users can learn how to locate their IP address using Linux Hint.
A brief guide explaining how to activate the SSH server on Pop!_OS was published by Linux Hint.
The article shows how to diagnose connection problems by first checking whether UFW is active and which rules are in effect. It explains enabling or disabling UFW, adding common ports like SSH, and controlling the service with systemctl so it starts automatically at boot. For users who need more granular control, the guide covers installing nftables, writing a minimal configuration file, and reloading it with nft to replace UFW entirely. A real‑world anecdote demonstrates that sometimes kernel changes can break networking even when the firewall is correctly configured, highlighting the value of looking beyond just the rule set.
The guide walks through installing Android Studio on Manjaro Linux by first getting the Java 11 runtime with `pacman -S jdk-openjdk`, which keeps the JVM compatible with what the IDE expects. It then pulls the official android‑studio package from JetBrains’ repo, launches the installer, and lets it automatically set up a default SDK so that tools like adb are usable immediately from the command line. For convenience you can add Studio’s bin directory to your PATH, and if you run into the “SDK manager cannot find updates” error after upgrading the kernel, installing `lib32-glibc` as a dependency fixes the HTTPS issue. The final check is running `adb devices`; seeing the expected list even with no device connected confirms everything works, allowing you to create a project and launch an emulator or real device without hiccups.
The article walks readers through installing Ventoy on a Manjaro system so they can turn any USB stick into an instant boot‑anywhere drive by simply dropping ISO files onto it. It begins with a quick prerequisites check, reminding users to pick a separate 4 GB or larger USB and to be ready to run commands as root before the device is wiped. Next, it explains how to pull Ventoy from the AUR—using Pamac, yay, or pacman—and how to build it locally if preferred, then details formatting the stick with FAT32 and running the helper script that creates the boot sector and directory structure on the whole disk. Finally, the guide highlights common pitfalls such as firmware not recognizing non‑FAT filesystems or Secure Boot issues, offers simple fixes, and ends by showing how to copy an ISO and verify that the Ventoy splash screen lists the images for a smooth boot process.
The article explains how to add Microsoft’s core fonts to Manjaro Linux so documents and PDFs display correctly instead of falling back on generic substitutes like Nimbus Sans or Liberation Serif. It walks readers through enabling the “extra” repository, installing an AUR helper such as yay, and then using that helper to pull the tahoma package—which bundles Arial, Times New Roman, Calibri, and others—into /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts. After the fonts are installed it shows how to refresh the font cache with fc‑cache, check that the new faces appear in GNOME Settings or gucharmap, and offers quick fixes for common problems such as missing fonts or applications that ignore system caches. The guide also notes Microsoft’s licensing terms allow redistribution of these fonts for personal use, while recommending a review of local policies before deploying them in larger or commercial environments.
The guide walks users through installing VirtualBox 7.0 on Mint 21 or 20 by first making sure kernel headers, build tools, and curl are installed. It then adds Oracle’s official repository, updates the package list, and installs the latest 7.0 release to avoid the older default version that lacks newer host‑only adapter support. After installation, users launch VirtualBox once to trigger a fresh build of the kernel module with vboxconfig or dkms autoinstall—an essential step whenever the kernel has been upgraded. Finally it recommends verifying the setup by checking the About dialog and inspecting log files for any driver or permission issues.

This guide walks readers through installing Scribus on Ubuntu by covering the straightforward repository method, a PPA for newer releases, and universal packaging via Snap or Flatpak. It explains why the official repo is reliable, how to add the community-maintained PPA when you need the latest libraries, and shows commands for each option without extra keys or manual downloads. The article also points out common issues like crashes after library updates or font write‑permission errors, offering quick fixes such as reinstalling a missing dependency or adjusting user groups. Finally, it gives simple uninstall steps for each package type so users can clean up if they decide to stop using Scribus.
Ubuntu Cleaner simplifies maintenance by presenting users with a clear overview of removable items such as orphaned packages and old kernels, letting them tidy their system in a single click. After updating apt and adding the official PPA to obtain the newest version, the tutorial explains how to install the program, launch it from terminal or the application launcher, and run scans that enumerate safe‑to‑remove components across multiple tabs. Once the list is reviewed, users can choose which sections to delete; the tool automatically resolves dependencies, keeps at least two recent kernels by default, and offers an optional cron job with a --auto flag for unattended nightly cleanups. Troubleshooting advice covers missing PPA entries, lockfile issues during scanning, and situations where no unused packages are found, ensuring that even minimal installations stay lean without manual apt autoremove sessions.

The article walks readers through installing the lightweight video editor Avidemux on Ubuntu 22.10, 22.04 LTS, and 20.04 using three popular methods: Snap, apt from the default repository, or Flatpak.
It explains why each package manager is useful; Snap offers quick installation and automatic updates with a classic confinement flag, the Ubuntu repo provides a signed, theme‑integrated version, while Flatpak bundles all dependencies for newer builds.
The guide includes step‑by‑step command snippets, practical tips like verifying the install via the --version flag, and a sanity check that tests cutting a clip without codec errors.
By sharing real‑world anecdotes of users who struggled with “invalid format” errors before switching to Snap or Flatpak, the post reassures newcomers that getting Avidemux up and running on these Ubuntu releases is straightforward and reliable.
The guide explains how to get KDevelop on Ubuntu 22.10, 22.04 and 20.04 without dependency headaches. It starts with a system update, then recommends installing the stable package from the official repositories while also offering Snap and source build options for newer versions. Common pitfalls such as Qt library mismatches, Snap permission issues and missing language plugins are addressed, along with quick sanity checks to confirm installation success. Finally, it walks through launching KDevelop, indexing folders, creating a new C++ project, pointing to system headers, and compiling while encouraging readers to seek help if they run into trouble.
