one, i thought my pc got scared bc i downloaded UUI and ubuntu to start learning linux on my tablet bc the pc started whirring loud and disconnecting from monitors but it was just the gpu cable got jostled and re-plugging it in fixed the issue.

two, though - this whole process was drawn out and had me worrying about the Curses because. well the iso is over 5gb and the largest flash drive in my apartment before today was. um. a 4gb memory card into a USB stick with a card slot. this, of all things, is what has made me feel the most old lately. like what am i doing with this floppy disk ass storage tech and nothing else ?

May 2025.

I tried installing a set of themes on Ubuntu MATE 24.04.1 LTS in Distrosea today.

https://distrosea.com/

These themes are provided as a theme package found in vanilla MATE desktops such as Debian and Fedora.

MATE is the modern day continuation of GNOME 2, a very popular, efficient and functional desktop environment from the early 2000s.

The theme pack I selected are compactable GTK3/4 (Graphical Toolkit) versions based on classic GNOME 2 era themes.

Ubuntu MATE website:

https://ubuntu-mate.org/

Debian Linux website:

https://www.debian.org/

Fedora Linux website:

https://fedoraproject.org/spins/mate

See MATE Desktop website here:

https://mate-desktop.org/blog/

About the Graphical Toolkit user interface:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GTK

I used the MATE Tweak tool to adjust the panels from the 'familiar' layout to the 'traditional' layout. Here are many of the layouts available.

MATE Tweak can change the panel layout between Traditional (GNOME 2), Unity, Redmond (Windows) contemporary (Mac OS) style.

Here are many of the layouts available.

Afterwards, I used the command line to install the themes with the command: sudo apt install mate-themes.

This command then prompted me to agree the system changes and then it installed the required theme files to the list.

I opened up the theme folder in the Caja file manager. This shows all the ones installed on the system.

Next I opened the appearance preferences and cycled through each theme. There are a total of 12 new themes it added alongside the existing Yaru Colour theme collection for Ubuntu.

This package couldn't be installed graphical so this is why I installed it through the terminal. It is also available to install through the Software Manager on Linux Mint.

The theme package can also be installed on the Cinnamon desktop and other linux distributions.

I like these themes as they provide a more 3D feel and is refreshing to see themes for a desktop environment that hasn't moved towards flat design. It themes all the desktop elements from the windows, panels, drop down menus, CSD apps and widgets.

My favourite one is called YaruOK (blue), as it provides resizable window controls, 3D controls and provides a familiar look to the desktop. The theme is also called TraditionalOK.

This theme is a fork of a GTK2 theme called Clear-looks, which was created by Red Hat developers.

YaruOK is a modern variant that uses GTK3 & 4. The theme is rendered in SVG instead of PNG format which improves HiDpi scaling and features themed client side decorations for header bar windows such as the Disks utility.

I also added a GNOME Eyes widget onto the panel!

These fun set of eyes follow your mouse cursor around the screen and can help you find the cursor amongst the clutter of windows. It is built to be very lightweight.

I also like the workspace switcher on the bottom left, which allows you to switch between as many desktop workspaces as you want.

The little square windows within each desktop can be clicked on and moved to another workspace.

Like with other desktop environments, you can also right click a window and move it onto another workspace. Each desktop can be named for a assigned task.

A System Monitor widget can also be added to the panels to display CPU, Memory, Swap and Network processes.

There are many other very interesting widget to play around with on the desktop and panels as well!

Here are the MATE themes in Ubuntu Linux 24.04.1, integrating with the Cinnamon desktop.

Below are some theming screenshots from Debian MATE 12 Linux.

I've customised the panel, selected the compact menu and changed notification sizes to make it more clearer. The window lists stack onto each other with the increased size.

The MATE panels have adjustable transparency and can be re-coloured and textured very easily through its own preferences box.

See screenshots below!

A very interesting look at the user interface elements found in GNOME 2, MATE and Cinnamon Linux desktop environments!

30 Linux System Monitoring Tools Every SysAdmin Should Know

[belost-the-watcher]

Day 3 of messing with Linux!

Finally got the graphics card drivers installed! I think I got it done right the first time too but Linux tried to boot using my onboard graphics which was making it just show a black screen. After plugging a monitor into the motherboard, I saw that it was actually working and waiting to log in. That hopefully also fixed the issue with Wayland randomly crashing and making everything unusable.

I got Steam working and learned how to use Proton and look things up in ProtonDB, so now games work too!

I compared the system resources between Linux (Fedora w/ KDE Plasma) and Windows 10 too. From running a web browser (Firefox on Linux, Brave on Windows), Discord, and Steam:

Linux - CPU 4-5%, Memory 5.4 GB Windows - CPU 11-19%, Memory 9.7 GB

Which was really surprising to me :V I knew Windows has gotten bloated (and it's even worse in Windows 11) but I didn't expect nearly a 300% difference in resources.

SYSTEM ADMIN INTERVIEW QUESTIONS 24-25

Table of Content

Introduction

File Permissions

User and Group Management:

Cron Jobs

System Performance Monitoring

Package Management (Red Hat)

Conclusion

Introduction

The IT field is vast, and Linux is an important player, especially in cloud computing. This blog is written under the guidance of industry experts to help all tech and non-tech background individuals secure interviews for roles in the IT domain related to Red Hat Linux.

File Permissions

Briefly explain how Linux file permissions work, and how you would change the permissions of a file using chmod. In Linux, each file and directory has three types of permissions: read (r), write (w), and execute (x) for three categories of users: owner, group, and others. Example: You will use chmod 744 filename, where the digits represent the permission in octal (7 = rwx, 4 = r–, etc.) to give full permission to the owner and read-only permission to groups and others.

What is the purpose of the umask command? How is it helpful to control default file permissions?umask sets the default permissions for newly created files and directories by subtracting from the full permissions (777 for directories and 666 for files). Example: If you set the umask to 022, new files will have permissions of 644 (rw-r–r–), and directories will have 755 (rwxr-xr-x).

User and Group Management:

Name the command that adds a new user in Linux and the command responsible for adding a user to a group. The Linux useradd command creates a new user, while the usermod command adds a user to a specific group. Example: Create a user called Jenny by sudo useradd jenny and add him to the developer’s group by sudo usermod—aG developers jenny, where the—aG option adds users to more groups without removing them from other groups. 

How do you view the groups that a user belongs to in Linux? 

The group command in Linux helps to identify the group a user belongs to and is followed by the username. Example: To check  user John’s group: groups john

Cron Jobs

What do you mean by cron jobs, and how is it scheduled to run a script every day at 2 AM? 

A cron job is defined in a crontab file. Cron is a Linux utility to schedule tasks to run automatically at specified times. Example: To schedule a script ( /home/user/backup.sh ) to run daily at 2 AM: 0 2 * * * /home/user/backup.sh Where 0 means the minimum hour is 2, every day, every month, every day of the week.

How would you prevent cron job emails from being sent every time the job runs? 

By default, cron sends an email with the output of the job. You can prevent this by redirecting the output to /dev/null. Example: To run a script daily at 2 AM and discard its output: 0 2 * * * /home/user/backup.sh > /dev/null 2>&1   

System Performance Monitoring

How can you monitor system performance in Linux? Name some tools with their uses. 

Some of the tools to monitor the performance are: Top: Live view of system processes and usage of resource htop: More user-friendly when compared to the top with an interactive interface. vmstat: Displays information about processes, memory, paging, block IO, and                CPU usage. iostat: Showcases Central Processing Unit (CPU) and I/O statistics for devices and partitions. Example: You can use the top command ( top ) to identify processes consuming too much CPU or memory.

In Linux, how would you check the usage of disk space?

The df command checks disk space usage, and Du is responsible for checking the size of the directory/file. Example: To check overall disk space usage:  df -h The -h option depicts the size in a human-readable format like GB, MB, etc.

Package Management (Red Hat)

How do you install, update, or remove packages in Red Hat-based Linux distributions by yum command?

In Red Hat and CentOS systems, the yum package manager is used to install, update, or remove software. Install a package:  sudo yum install httpd This installs the Apache web server.  Update a package: sudo yum update httpd Remove a package:sudo yum remove httpd 

By which command will you check the installation of a package on a Red Hat system?

The yum list installed command is required to check whether the package is installed. Example: To check if httpd (Apache) is installed:  yum list installed httpd

Conclusion

The questions are designed by our experienced corporate faculty which will help you to prepare well for various positions that require Linux such as System Admin.

You ever sit up at 3AM, the house dead quiet, shadows moving just a little too much out of the corner of your eye? That’s the exact vibe Spectator 2 is going for — and now it’s finally out of Early Access and ready to ruin your sleep. Built from the ground up by a passionate two-person indie team called Neko Machine, Spectator 2 has officially launched. So, after months of tense updates and creepy upgrades, this psychological horror gem is now fully live. And yes, it also runs on Linux and Steam Deck. So what is Spectator 2? Imagine being stuck in a control room all night, flipping through CCTV footage of weird places—abandoned houses, cursed schools, haunted train stations—while trying to catch anomalies that slowly twist reality. A chair that wasn’t there before. A figure that shouldn’t be moving. A picture that changed when you looked away. Miss too many of those glitches in reality, and things start breaking… hard. Not with cheap jump scares, either. This game plays the long game. It’s all about creeping tension, slow-burn fear, and the feeling that something is watching you back.

Spectator 2 | Live Now- 1.0 Launch Trailer

Created by two devs who wanted to build the kind of title they always wished existed, Spectator 2 draws inspiration from titles like Paranormal, but carves its own path with eerie atmosphere and over 300 random anomalies. No two nights are ever the same. You’ll doubt your memory. You’ll second-guess what you just saw. And you’ll like every second of it. One of the best surprises? Spectator 2 has a 2-player split-screen co-op mode. Yeah, split-screen. Remember those couch co-op nights with your best bud, yelling “Did you SEE that?!” Now imagine that, but you’re both slowly unraveling in fear together. It’s pure gold — and way too rare in modern horror titles. Even better: the creepy locations you’ll monitor were voted on by the game’s own Discord community, inspired by real urban legends and local haunted tales. The result? Settings that feel weirdly familiar… and deeply wrong. Whether you're a lone wolf craving a slow, dread-filled descent into madness, or looking for a terrifying co-op experience with a friend, Spectator 2 delivers. It’s smart. It’s scary. And it’ll also mess with your head in ways no jump scare ever could. So Linux players, Steam Deck fans, psychological horror fans — your next night shift is waiting. Time to boot up the cameras and start watching. Even better? It’s also $12.99 USD / £9.99 / 10,79€, plus there’s a solid 40% launch discount for a limited time on Steam. That’s practically a steal for this much paranoia.

Linux Laptop Install 8

About the system.

I Added the Epson printer and did a test print which worked. I connected my Bluetooth speaker and headphones to the laptop through the Bluetooth Manager. Both connected successfully. Audio recorded in Audacity also worked with the built in microphone.

Playing the same 4K YouTube video I tested in Ubuntu, here is the videos CPU and Memory usage in the system monitor. You can control media from not only Chrome itself, but also from Mint’s built-in volume and media controller.

I really like Linux Mint Cinnamon because the newest version has improved icons, nicely designed themes and a familiar, easy to use look and feel. I have decided that I will keep Linux Mint on this laptop for the time being.

Unlock Powerful Hosting with cPanel Server Management by CloudMinister Technologies

In a digital environment where speed, security, and uptime determine the success of websites and online platforms, effective server management is critical. cPanel Server Management provides a robust foundation for web hosting, but it's the experience and expertise of a professional team that elevates server performance to enterprise-grade reliability.

This is where CloudMinister Technologies steps in—a company known for its dedicated focus on Linux server management, particularly for environments using cPanel and WHM (Web Host Manager). Let’s explore how CloudMinister helps organizations gain maximum value from their cPanel servers.

What is cPanel Server Management?

cPanel is a web hosting control panel that provides a graphical user interface (GUI) and automation tools designed to simplify the process of hosting a website. It allows users to manage files, databases, email accounts, domains, backups, and more—all from a central dashboard.

cPanel Server Management, however, goes far beyond what the software provides out of the box. It involves the continuous monitoring, configuration, optimization, securing, and troubleshooting of servers running cPanel. This ensures the hosting environment remains stable, secure, and high-performing at all times.
