Linux log review with logwatch - The Linux Juggernaut
You know how important it is to do a daily log review. But you also know how much of a drag it is, and that you’d rather take a severe beating.

To deliver its messages, Logwatch requires that the machine also has a running mail server daemon. Depending on the options you chose when installing the operating system, you might or might not already have the Postfix mail server installed. When Postfix is set up as a local server, it will deliver system messages to the root user’s local account.
To view the Logwatch summaries on the local machine, you’ll also need to install a text- mode mail reader, such as mutt.

Are you typing iso in the terminal and nothing happens – dev-rel and lsb-release | Arcolinux.com
Starting from the September release of 2020 we went rolling and stopped using ‘versions’.

Create Snapshot backups using Timeshift in linux - The Linux Juggernaut
Timeshift is a linux application that we can use to create snapshots in our linux system,. If something bad happens to our linux system (For an example, all the system files and settings are deleted after cyber attack) we can use the snapshot that we create using timeshift to restore the system back and undo all changes that is made to the system. It provides functionality similar to the System Restore feature in Windows and the Time Machine tool in Mac OS. Timeshift can be configured to take incremental snapshots of the file system at regular intervals. These snapshots can be restored at a later date to u ando all changes to the system.
Timeshift can also be used in a GUI mode. However, imagine a situation, where your video driver is broken due to some unstable update or maybe something terrible happens with your system and you are not able to use the Timeshift GUI version to rollback your system to the previous state, then you have only the Timeshift CLI option available.
