Kenapa Linux?


Kemarin ada yang bertanya kepada saya, apa alasan saya memakai Linux? Kalau boleh jujur, saya tidak punya alasan yang pasti. Dalam hal ini saya jujur, sebagai end user komputer Indonesia, adalah bohong kalau beralasan masalah legalitas. Mungkin jawaban yang paling realistis adalah Linux bebas dari virus windows, dan dalam waktu yang masih lama mendatang, virus untuk Linux nampaknya belum akan banyak tercipta.
Dan kalau boleh jujur lagi, alsan saya menyukai Linux adalah sangat tidak rasional. Saya suka Linux karena saya suka musik rock. Loh? Yach, idelalisme. Itulah jawabannya.
Seperti musik rock yang selalu idealis, Linux sejak pertama saya kenal, adlah sebuah karya manusia yang penuh dengan nilai idealisme sangat tinggi : semangat berbagi! Dan mungkin setelah nanti saya berkecimpung dalam dunia bisnis korporat, barulah saya beralasan rasional, bahwa Linux lebih low-cost dari pada apabila kita menggunakan sistem proprietary.
Begitulah.

ya,, memang banyak orang yang bilang seperti itu, linux walaupun bikin "pusing" karena blm user friendly aja kali ya, atau karena kita nya yang gak mau belajar dan lebih sering dimanjakan oleh barang bajakan windows (hehehe,,,), sbg contoh linux memang lebih dipilih oleh pengusaha2 warnet saat ini setidaknya di daerah t4 saya tinggal.

Ubuntu Kylin 19.04 Review : A Gorgeous Windows 10 Clone

It's been quite a while since the last post I wrote in this blog. My daily life prevents me to write another stuff about Linux Desktop, and now I'm curious to take a look to the Ubuntu Kylin 19.04. Ubuntu is always be my favorite distro. It supports huge number of hardwares, it has probably the largest Linux software repository. It is also --the most important thing-- very easy to install, even for beginners.  But for some couple of years, because of technical reason, I stopped to play around with the Ubuntu releases. I stood for KDE Neon and became my primary OS because of its simplicity and the look. Few days ago Ubuntu has released its newer version, Ubuntu 19.04 codenamed Disco Dingo. I'm yes impressed by the progress Ubuntu developer has made, especially the way they arrange the GNOME desktop to match the Ubuntu theme. But the most interesting flavor of this release is Ubuntu Kylin. It's an official Ubuntu flavor, designed for Chinese People with its own...

How To Speed Up Your KDE Plasma Desktop (KDE4)

KDE is one of the oldest desktop environment in Linux. While GNOME (the other desktop that as old as KDE) is trying to built its own style of user interface, KDE from the beginning seems to mimics the Microsoft Windows' "classic" user interface. Thus, KDE has its own user base, especially for them who still in love with the Windows' philosophy : a simple desktop, with a single taskbar in the bottom, and a start menu in the left. Personally, I love KDE. It's gorgeous and eyecandy. But sometimes, I feel KDE is little bit slow in my older hardwares. So, after some experiences, I've found some tweak how to make KDE Plasma Desktop Runs Faster . 1. Change The Compositing Engine  Go to System Settings>Desktop Effect>Advanced , and change the Compositing type from OpenGL 2.0 to XRender. 2. Remove All Bloatware Apps There are some uneeded apps installed in Kubuntu (my favorite KDE distro) and you could safely remove them. Here are my list : ...

Q4OS 4.6 "Gemini" Review: A Real Hidden Gem

Distro hopping is a fun adventure. It's a pure joy you can only find in GNU/Linux world. It's a nature you want to escape from what I call 'comfort ecosystem'. You need to play, trying something new even for a few little differences. For a long time I've been using Ubuntu family as my daily driver. The main reason is probably just same as any other Ubuntu user: it's reliable. You can't go wrong with Ubuntu. It works almost in any device, even for the newest one. It is the ultimate Linux distro you can rely on. However, sometimes, you will feel bored. The temptation to flirt with other new distro is unbearable. There are a lot of hot new Linux distros waiting to try.  A Real Hidden Gem I've known this distro for a quite long time. At first, it offered Trinity Desktop as the main desktop, which brings me the sweet memories about KDE3. It is simply fast, stable, almost without any issue, and it is based on Debian. I install it on my old machine and I love t...
