Hello everybody this is my again and today I am going to talk a little about my prefered operating system. Some of you may already know I am obsessed with Ubuntu. Today I am going to show you two ubuntu distributions that I like to use on VMs Xubunut and Linux mint. When I am writing this I do not know the differences so we will discover these together.

FIrst I will start with Xubuntu because I am using it much more than others.

To understand the whole aspect I think we need to go through a little history. Xubuntu was released in 2006 June 1st by Jani Monoss as part of the Ubuntu 6.06 “Dapper Drake” line, which also included Kubuntu and Edubuntu. This operating system is created like a  gateway drug. Basically it shows the good part of Linux and tries to hide the disadvantages as much as possible.

Xubuntu tries to use as few system resources as possible. It is much more effective than Ubuntu but I must say it seems on the desktop, the details and resources quality much fewer but it is a perfect choice for virtual machines. In 2006 when it was released it used 128mb ram which is unbelievable for me personally.
Just like every Linux distribution it is open source as well so there is a quite well worked community which helps the user immediately. If you have a pc which quite works but you want to create a working environment on it I recommend Xubuntu to install on it.

Let’s move on to another distribution, Linux Mint.

With my own words Linux Mint is the closest to Windows in terms of user friendly. It is also released in 2006 and it is part of open source but it also contains some free software.It is an Ubunut based system so the question is what is better in it than in Ubuntu. It has lower memory usage in Cinnamon(Mint’s Desktop environment) and the software manager claims to be faster and lighter. The design and themes are more comfortable and suitable on Linux Mint and they have Codecs, Flash etc.. as default. Lastly, itsfoss.com claims Linux Mint has more desktop choices with Long Term Support and their pre-installed Mint Apps are great.

To summarize, I would recommend Mint for those who want to use Linux but does not have experience with driver install updates and such things.

I hope you enjoyed this week's blog meeting next week.

Hello again, I am going to talk about the development of computers basically from ENIAC to IPad. Where to start if not at the beginning.  The first question is what is computing when someone counts computing. When the first humans started to count with their fingers in 2700-3000 BC, I would not say that it was computing. I think it starts when it is connected with electricity. To give respect to others I will introduce those machines that were used for computing without any transistors or even without any other power supply than a human. Antikythera mechanism used in 100 BC it was used for astronomical computing In grammar school I had to learn to calculate on  slide rules. I hated that I felt useless to use such a thing when calculators exist. Let's move on to real computers.. I am sure everybody has heard about Alan Turing. Actually there is a quite good movie about his life, The Theory of Everything. Basically he is the father of AI. He invented the procedure with the help of wh

  Hello everyone it is me again and today I am going to talk about the relation of IT and ethics, more particularly about ethical egoism. I would like to start with an example so Jack believes that Jill should promote her own interest in accordance with ethical egoism. Jack might believe this, but he isn't going to tell Jill. He looks to his own interest first. This means that whatever we do for our benefit it is ethical to do so and it is not considered unethical to not act against our interest. Let's move to the IT field. How does this example connect to IT? We need to consider a situation, this can be a variation of things from a job and its compensation to competing for a position or a pay raise. For instance a freelancer make their own set of rules and can determine the amount of compensation they want in return. Most of the time it is considered rude but they are right in a way. They are a one-man team, doing a lot of hard tasks on a very high level and please be honest w

  Hello again, it me and the following Sunday blog is going to be about bad ergonomics examples mostly from console playing. I have been playing on console since first class so I have pretty much experience. There are two constructions that I think we need to talk about. At the beginning of this market vendors tried to show everything they had. It led to the same very bad design controller or the idea preceded its age. I cannot remember which birthday of mine was that when I got a very special present it was a controller to my Playstation. Its name is Jogoc. It has a very weird design because it has a steering wheel in the middle of the device. Its purpose was to drive more precisely in the racing games than the traditional controller. For obvious reasons it did not live up to expectations. Let’s move on to the next example which is called Soul controller. It was designed for samurai games. I would try that again with the ghost of tushima for sure, of course with some updated gyroscope
