Baobab - Intro to Ubuntu Disk Usage Analyzer Program

Baobab (also called Disk Usage Analyzer) is a utility program default to Ubuntu that serves the purpose of disk usage analyzer that is showing ranking of directories in the filesystem based on used capacity in megabytes. With Baobab, you know which folder takes up how much space in comparison to other folders in a complete list. Further, this is very useful for example if you plan to remove some unused folders to free disk space but don't know which folders are safe to remove. And to Ubuntu users, Baobab fills the same purposes as KDE Filelight to Kubuntu users as well as WinDirStat (GNU GPL) to Windows users. Now let's start reading!

Debian 12.10 “Bookworm” Released with 66 Bug Fixes and 43 Security Updates

Debian 12.10 is here a little over two months after Debian 12.9 as the ninth point release of Debian Bookworm. Yes, ninth, because Debian 12.3 was never released due to an issue in the EXT4 file system leading to data corruption, which means that it doesn’t count as a point release.

ExTiX 25.3 KDE Plasma and the Ubuntu Desktop together with Waydroid ('Waydroid lets you launch a complete Android system on Linux with GAPPS') :: Build 250305

posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 12, 2025

I have made a new version of ExTiX – The Ultimate Linux System. I call it ExTiX 25.3 KDE Waydroid Live System. (The previous KDE/Anbox version was 22.9 from 220922). I have now made it possible for you to install Waydroid in ExTiX. (Waydroid lets you launch a complete Android system on Linux with Google Play Services so you can install your favorite apps). So now you can run Android apps in ExTiX. GAPPS (Google Play Services and Google Play Store) are however NOT pre-installed in ExTiX 25.3. That’s because you’ll have to register your computer with your own Gmail account to be able to run Google Play Store. The second best thing with ExTiX 25.3 is that while running the system live (from DVD/USB) or from hard drive you can use Refracta Snapshot (pre-installed) to create your own live installable Ubuntu/Waydroid system. So easy that a ten year child can do it!

ExTiX 25.3 KDE Plasma System 64 bit is based on Debian and Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS Noble Numbat. I have installed KDE Frameworks with KDE Plasma 5.27.12. KDE Frameworks are 83 addon libraries to Qt which provide a wide variety of commonly needed functionality in mature, peer reviewed and well tested libraries with friendly licensing terms.
