Tetap Damai ber-Linux dengan BibbleTime, aplikasi Alkitab Digital di Linux



Pada posting saya beberapa waktu yang lalu, saya pernah membahas tentang menjalankan sebuah aplikasi Windows yaitu Alkitab Digital 2.7 di desktop Linux dengan menggunakan Wine. Nah, ternyata, di lingkungan Linux pun sudah terdapat aplikasi sejenis yang sebenarnya sudah sangat bagus dan lengkap, namanya adalah BibbleTime.


Bibble Time adalah sebuah aplikasi Alkitab digital yang (secara khusus) dibuat untuk desktop KDE, namun tentu saja dapat dijalankan di desktop X11 apapun. Seperti kebanyakan aplikasi berbasis Qt, Bibble Time memiliki interface yang sangat eyecandy dan enak di pandang. Dengan dominasi warna biru, serta splash screen yang elegan.


Dan tentu saja, keunggulan aplikasi ini adalah pada isinya. Bibble Time telah menyertakan beberapa versi Alkitab, yang antara lain adalah King James Version (KJV). Selain itu, yang paling luar biasa, Bibble Time juga menyertakan alkitab versi Bahasa Ibrani dengan tulisan Ibrani (Hebrew). Hal tersebut tentu sangat bermanfaat bila kita ingin sedikit mempelajari bahasa Ibrani. Selain bahasa Ibrani, Bibble Time juga disertai dengan bahasa dan tulisan Yunani Kuno.


Yang paling menarik dari itu semua adalah, kita bisa membuka semua versi Alkitab tersebut dalam satu window, sehingga kita bisa melihat dan memahami semuanya dalam satu tampilan. Hal tersebut tentu sangat bermanfaat bagi kita yang ingin mengetahui perbedaan-perbedaan kosakata yang digunakan dalam berbagai versi Alkitab.


Aplikasi Bibble Time dapat kita jumpai dalam repositori beberapa distribusi besar, dan sebagi contoh adalah Ubuntu. Selain itu, bagi kita yang ingin mendapat Bibble Time pre-installed, kita bisa memilih dua dari distro turunan Ubuntu, yaitu Ubuntu Christian Edition, dan Ichthux.


Secara keseluruhan, aplikasi Bibble Time adalah sangat lengkap, fungsional dan interaktif. Satu kekurangan terbesarnya hanya satu, belum mendukung terjemahan versi Bahasa Indonesia. Mungkin pada versi Bibble Time berikutnya, akan ada anak bangsa yang akan membuat versi terjemahan untuk di sematkan dalam aplikasi ini.


Semoga bermanfaat, dan semoga desktop Linux bisa memberi kita lebih dari sekedar manfaat praktis teknologi, tetapi juga spiritualitas.

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...
