> Workspaces or virtual desktops are a group of tasks or programs on a dedicated window on your PC screen. Workspaces are ideal for improved focus, productivity, and clutter-free desktops.
> You can use workspaces to streamline your work by focusing on a set of related tasks at a time. To underline their importance, workspaces are available on all major operating systems: Windows, Linux, and macOS.
> Here's how you can create and manage workspaces on Ubuntu.
> This post follows my previous post ‘Keeping Ubuntu Up-to-Date’. If you haven’t already, check that out.
> We left off the last post by updating Ubuntu and all our other packages. If you remember, just doing a simple update of your packages and OS can be quite involved for the task that it is.
> Enter Bash scripting. Imagine a Bash script as a list of instructions. When we create and run a Bash script, you can tell your machine to run a list of commands in a row. So instead of typing each of the commands from the previous post, every time we login to our Ubuntu box, we can type one command to run our Bash script and all of the commands will be ran.
> Whether you are new to Linux or a seasoned Linux systems administrator, knowing the hardware and firmware on your systems is essential. Firmware that is out-of-date can pose security and operational risks. I advise you to keep up with firmware updates before you are impacted by an attacker with a shiny new exploit or some elusive crash of your system. While there are numerous utilities and commands that can provide insight into the state of your firmware, with some being included in your distribution and others available from your favorite package manager, keeping them handy or even scripting them can make your job that much easier. What follows is a fairly comprehensive list, with examples, of commands that allow you to discover the state of various hardware and firmware.
> PuTTY is a free and open-source cross-platform SSH and telnet client that even after being around for over 20 years remains one of the most popular SSH clients being used especially on the Windows platform.
> Linux distros ship with SSH capabilities built into their terminal but in real-world environments, I have seen PuTTY being used instead of the default Linux systems more times than I cared to count.
> FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is a network protocol used for transferring files between a client and a server on a computer network.
> In the early days, FTP applications were initially designed for the command line, predating the widespread adoption of GUI (Graphical User Interface) Operating Systems.
> Ubuntu is a popular Linux distribution known for its ease of use, stability, and user-friendly approach. One of the things that makes Ubuntu so easy to use is its apt package management system, which enables you to easily install, update, and remove software packages on your Ubuntu system.
> In this article, we will show you how to uninstall or remove recently installed software packages on Ubuntu using the graphical user interface (GUI) and the command line.
