How To Install Lua Scripting Language on Ubuntu 20.04 | 22.04 LTS
In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Lua Programming Language in Ubuntu systems
Lua is a lightweight, high-level, multi-paradigm programming language designed primarily for embedded use in applications. Lua is cross-platform, since the interpreter of compiled bytecode is written in ANSI C, and Lua has a relatively simple C API to embed it into applications.
Lua originated in 1993 as a language for extending software applications to meet the increasing demand for customization at the time. It provided the basic facilities of most procedural programming languages, but more complicated or domain-specific features were not included; rather, it included mechanisms for extending the language, allowing programmers to implement such features. As Lua was intended to be a general embeddable extension language, the designers of Lua focused on improving its speed, portability, extensibility, and ease-of-use in development.

How to Install XanMod Kernel on Ubuntu 22.10/22.04/20.04
The Linux Kernel is the heart of any GNU/Linux operating system. It manages the communication between the software and hardware and provides a platform for running applications. The default kernel provided with Ubuntu is good for most users, but it lacks some features and options that are available in other kernels. XanMod is a free, open-source alternative to the stock kernel with Ubuntu. It features custom settings and new features that are designed to provide a responsive and smooth desktop experience, especially for new hardware.
For users who would benefit the most using XanMod, it is popular among Linux users who want better gaming performance, streaming quality, or ultra-low latency requirements and often boasts the latest Linux kernels before landing on most distributions. Most desktop users are not even into gaming but want a new kernel for better hardware support, making XanMod one of the more popular choices. I would recommend for more information on XanMod Kernel before installing, visit the XanMod Kernel features information page.
