So, LibreOffice is one of the jewels of open source. We are talking about a complete office suite capable of resulting in a free, cross-platform solution available to everyone. Therefore, it already comes installed in many Linux distributions but these do not include an updated version.

Install LibreOffice 7.1 on Ubuntu 20.04 / Linux Mint 20

There are several methods to install LibreOffice 7.1 on Ubuntu 20.04 or Linux Mint 20. However, I will show you the two easiest to do, and that allows you to easily keep it updated.

Installing LibreOffice 7.1 using PPA

The LibreOffice development team provides us with a dedicated PPA for LibreOffice 7.1. This repository is compatible with Ubuntu 20.04 as it could not be otherwise. So let’s use it.

So, open a terminal and run the following command:

:~$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/ppa
In general, users are advised to take a look at the changelog for the details about a package. If there is a specific bug that is intended to be addressed by an update released into the PPA, you are encouraged to test, if the update solves that problem. Packages published after the distro release are mostly such specific fixes. Critical fixes will be SRUed into the main repositories after testing anyway (later, with more testing).

To return to the LibreOffice version from the main archive, use ppa-purge. see: http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html for details
 More info: https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/ubuntu/ppa
Press Enter to continue or Ctrl+C to cancel

Executing: /tmp/apt-key-gpghome.VVwU2zyIO1/gpg.1.sh --keyserver hkps://keyserver.ubuntu.com:443 --recv-keys 36E81C9267FD1383FCC4490983FBA1751378B444
gpg: key 83FBA1751378B444: public key "Launchpad PPA for LibreOffice Packaging" imported
gpg: Total number processed: 1

:~$ sudo apt-get update

And then, if you already have LibreOffice installed, upgrade your system:

:~$ sudo apt upgrade

Or:

:~$ sudo apt full-upgrade

It’s that simple. Next, launch it from the main menu.

Installing LibreOffice 7.1 with Flatpak

If we read the description of the previous repository we will notice that it will only provide updates to the 7.1 branch

To avoid this, it is possible to use Flatpak. As we know, Flatpak is a technology that allows us to create self-contained and secure packages for any Linux distribution.

The Flatpak package of LibreOffice is hosted in Flathub and they give us the instructions to install it.

So, install Flatpak in case you don’t have it installed:

:~$ sudo apt install flatpak

Then, install LibreOffice 7.1 with the following command:

:~$ flatpak install flathub org.libreoffice.LibreOffice

When the download is finished you can run it from the main menu. Or by executing the following command:

:~$ flatpak run org.libreoffice.LibreOffice

So, enjoy it.

Conclusion

LibreOffice 7.1 is available for download. In this post, you’ve learned what to do to get it right now on your Ubuntu 20.04. But this tutorial works for Linux Mint 20 and all distributions that are based on Ubuntu 20.04.

Wine is one of those applications that practically any Linux user knows. Thanks to Wine we can run several Windows applications on Linux. It works as an interpreter that creates an execution layer for programs that can be run in Linux.

Wine is included in the official repositories of almost any distribution. The problem is that Wine’s development is too active (which is very welcome) and they constantly add features and improve the support of the applications.

Therefore, if you notice when using Wine that certain programs do not run correctly, then updating Wine may be a solution.

So let’s go for it.

Install Wine 6 on Fedora 34 / 33

Although Fedora is a distribution that is updated quite a lot, it is also true that it does not always provide us with the latest version of some programs. This is the case of Wine which, although it is true, gives us an updated version, it is not the latest one.

So for this, it is necessary to add a new repository that contains both the latest stable version of Wine and the development version.

So, open a terminal and run the following command for Fedora 34

sudo dnf config-manager --add-repo https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/fedora/34/winehq.repo

And this for Fedora 33:

sudo dnf config-manager --add-repo https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/fedora/33/winehq.repo

This command will add the Wine repository to the system.

After that, install Wine 6 on Fedora 34 / 33 by running the following command:

sudo dnf install winehq-stable

During the process, you will have to confirm the installation because a new repository is being added along with its GPG key.

After the installation is complete, you can check the version by running

wine --version

so, enjoy it.

Conclusion

Wine is an application that is a veteran within Linux. However, it is quite popular especially with users coming from Windows. It does not always give the expected results but it can work and solve several problems.

Now you know how to install version 6 of this program on Fedora 34 / 33.

The newest minor version of openSUSE Leap is the most recent, rock-solid addition to the openSUSE 15.x series that carries all the positive attributes of its predecessors. The main new feature of this release is that it strengthens the workflow between Leap and SLE. Making this release one of the most stable to date.

This release is hugely beneficial for migration projects and user acceptance testing. And one of the reasons is that OpenSUSE 15.3 is built with the same binaries as SLE. One example is that with a BTRFS file system, users can test in Leap, deploy to SLE and even roll back to a previous Leap snapshot.

So this version of Leap is aimed at the regular user but also keeps an eye on the enterprise world. Quite a marvel.

What’s new in OpenSUSE 15.3?

First of all, we have XFCE 4.16 available with a new color scheme and icons that give it a personality of its own. In the case of GNOME, it is still available version 3.34 which is not current but has been patched to be even more stable.

If you are a fan of KDE Plasma, you will once again enjoy version 5.18 which is LTS so, once again, you will have a stable desktop environment with no surprises.

On the container side, it’s all the same versions of Leap 15.2, but there are security updates for all packages like containerd, podman, kubeadm) and cri-o.

If you work with AI and Machine Learning, Leap 15.3 includes TensorFlow, PyTorch, ONNX as well as Grafana and Prometheus. So you’ll be well served.

Where can I download it?

You can download OpenSUSE 15.3 from this link. There you can have several methods on how to get it on various architectures.

If you want to know what’s new, it’s best to read the full announcement.

Enjoy it!

Recently the development team announced the arrival of Fedora 34 in all its versions. The Workstation version which focuses on the desktop, and in particular, it’s geared toward software developers who want a “just works” Linux operating system experience comes with GNOME 40 as the main new feature.

In this version, we find many updated packages apart from the Graphical Environment highlighting the inclusion of Linux 5.11 to handle modern hardware. In the spin-off theme, Plasma now uses Wayland by default. Also, Xfce 4.16 and LXQt 0.16.0 make their debut in the XFCE and LXQT spin-offs.

If you are an audio content creator, then you will notice that PipeWire replaces PulseAudio and Jack. as the audio server. While many may not like it, it’s certainly a step forward in Wayland integration. Proof of this is that some Xorg-x11 packages have been removed.

No matter what variant of Fedora you use, you’re getting the latest the open-source world has to offer. For example, Ruby 3.0 is included in this release along with Golang 1.16. So if you want to develop applications in these languages, this version looks like an ideal choice.

How to get Fedora 34?

Fedora 34 is now available for public download and you can visit the download section of the project and download it from there.

You can also try some of the spinoffs that give us the power of Fedora 34 but with other desktop environments. To do so, go the section dedicated to them.

Although I recommend you to use torrent for the download. So, you can go to the alternative downloads section.

If you already have Fedora 33 on your computer, you can then migrate to Fedora 34 from this post.

So, enjoy Fedora 34.

What is it Slackware?

Referencing the Slackware website:

The Official Release of Slackware Linux by Patrick Volkerding is an advanced Linux operating system, designed with the twin goals of ease of use and stability as top priorities. Including the latest popular software while retaining a sense of tradition, providing simplicity and ease of use alongside flexibility and power, Slackware brings the best of all worlds to the table.

So Slackware is not oriented to all users like Ubuntu or Linux Mint but focuses on advanced users.

One of the reasons why it is still very much loved by the community is that it is very old. This has made it the basis of many projects that we can use today.

The Slackware Linux Project has aimed at producing the most “UNIX-like” Linux distribution out there. That is why stability is one of the main flagships of this distribution.

What’s new in Slackware 15 Beta?

As this is a new release, you will find many updated packages, but Slackware is all about stability.

First of all the core of the distribution has been updated with the arrival of GCC 10.3 and also the inclusion of the 5.10 kernel in the installation. But not only that, but you can also install the 5.11 kernel from the Testing repository.

But in the section of the desktops that in the end is what the user sees, we have GNOME 3.36 with some packages of 3.38. Also in the future Slackware will include GNOME 40. For Plasma users, you can enjoy version 5.21 and in the case of XFCE version 4.16.

Firefox 87 and Thunderbird 78.9.0 are included for smooth browsing and emailing. In addition to this, Python 3.9 guarantees support for this language for a long time to come.

So you can take a look at this beta version by downloading the 64bit version from this link. And the 32bit version from this link.

In the size, we will type GB size. Leave some space reserved for the Swap partition. On type for the new partition, we select “Primary“. In Location for the new partition, we selected “Beginning of this space“. In Use as we leave it at “Ext 4 journaling file system“. Finally, at Mount point we selected “/“

So, press the OK button.

Then we go to “Free space“. In this section, we leave everything the same, except for the last option in Use as we will select “swap area“

Once finished, the partition will remain as in the image.

Next, we select “Install now” and then confirm the changes.

Step 5: Select your location

Once the partitioning process is completed, the next step is to select the location.

Step 6: User creation

In this step, we proceed to create the user, and we have the possibility in the last two options of “Log in automatically” or “Require my password to log in“

When it comes to Linux, most users are more familiar with the most popular distributions. As it would be the case of Ubuntu, which is one of the main distributions.

On the other hand, Arch is developed to use the full potential of Linux. Arch is completely based on free software, incorporating a “rolling release” model. In addition to pursuing the famous KISS principle (Keep It Simple, Stupid!), the aim is for each user to adapt the distro to their needs.

On the other hand, EndeavourOS offers us the experiences of Arch in a simpler way, from the graphical interface, so that any user can use it.

Now, EndeavourOS 2020.09.20 brings the 5.8.10 Kernel update, in addition to the improved welcome screens in the initial section for the first time.

EndeavourOS 2020.09.20: What’s New

The new version presents a great novelty because it began with the formation of compilations of the distribution. For several boards based on processors with ARM architecture.

The compilations are based on Arch Linux ARM and are tested on Odroid N2, Odroid N2+, Odroid XU4, and Raspberry PI 4b boards.

On the other hand, the welcome capacity that it gives to the user when entering the system has increased significantly. In the following way:

• Support for Chinese translations.
• New button to change screen resolutions: only available in the Live environment.
• The mirror update button: now sends a proof for the installed reflectors.
• An ARM button link from Archlinux.
• Various error corrections.
• A new button to select one of our wallpaper.
• Two link buttons that take the user to the Arch repository page or the AUR page to search for packages.

One of the biggest strengths of CentOS is that it has a wide range of packages and programs that can be installed. On the other hand, the CentOS project has many communities and official repositories that extend even more the functionality of the distribution.

OpenJDK or Oracle Java

Since Java version 11, the license has changed and become a little more restrictive for commercial purposes. However, OpenJDK continues to run alongside the commercial version that includes professional support.

The above situation opens a small controversy about which implementation to use. And the answer depends on each developer however, with OpenJDK you will not have license problems and is ideal for testing features and educational projects.

Well, for this tutorial I will choose OpenJDK. Do not worry it is Java but open source.

Let’s go for it.

Install Java 15 on CentOS 8 / Centos 7

Java 15 is available as an RPM package from the Oracle website. So you can go to the download section and download the RPM package corresponding to your processor architecture.

However, using the terminal and wget command is faster and even easier.

So, open the terminal or start an SSH session and type the following command.

wget --no-check-certificate -c --header "Cookie: oraclelicense=accept-securebackup-cookie" https://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/15+36/779bf45e88a44cbd9ea6621d33e33db1/jdk-15_linux-x64_bin.rpm

And it will automatically start the download.

You can then install the package locally with DNF.

sudo dnf localinstall jdk-15_linux-x64_bin.rpm
Failed to set locale, defaulting to C.UTF-8
Last metadata expiration check: 0:01:51 ago on Wed Sep 23 11:22:58 2020.
Dependencies resolved.

Transaction Summary
Install 1 Package
Total size: 162 M
Installed size: 314 M
Is this ok [y/N]

Once the installation is complete, if you have several versions of Java you can choose the default by running the following command:

sudo alternatives --config java
There is 1 program that provides 'java'.
Selection Command
*+ 1 /usr/java/jdk-15/bin/java
Enter to keep the current selection[+], or type selection number:

Although in my case I only have this installation.

Finally, check the JAva version to see if the command works correctly:

java --version
java version "15" 2020-09-15
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 15+36-1562)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 15+36-1562, mixed mode, sharing)

So, enjoy it.

Conclusion

Java is an old rocker who has a lot to contribute. So it is not surprising that he is a valued Oracle and has very active development. Now with version 15, you can enjoy attractive new features.

So, enjoy it. Share this post and join our Telegram Channel.
