EmojiClu - graphical implementation of the Zebra Puzzle - LinuxLinks
EmojiClu is a graphical implementation of the Zebra Puzzle, built with GTK. It’s a logical deduction style puzzle, similar to Suduko. Your goal is to find out the correct location of tiles in the puzzle grid, using deductions derived from the provided clues.
The game board is shown above as the 6×6 grid, with each cell containing six candidate tiles. The letter “O” appears bigger because it is selected; the O’s are dimmed in the other cells because they’ve been eliminated as possibilities from other cells.
The right side of the screen contains horizontal clues, and the bottom of the screen contains vertical clues. A tool-tip displays on clue mouse hover, explaining the clue.

BrosTrend AX3000 WiFi Range Extender & Wi-Fi to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter Review - LinuxLinks
When I’m connecting devices together, I prefer a wired ethernet connection. An ethernet connection offers faster, more consistent speeds, together with lower latency which is important for gaming. This is mainly because the signal is sent directly rather than broadcasted. This direct approach has fewer variables that can impact signal strength, like interference from other electronics such as neighbouring routers.
However, Wi-Fi excels in areas ethernet falls short. There’s no wire clutter, and you can connect anywhere in your home. Almost all modern devices can connect to Wi-Fi from desktops to smartphones to single board computers. And with a decent router you can have many devices connected and streaming simultaneously.
I’ve reviewed a variety of BrosTrend Wi-Fi devices, notable for their performance combined with excellent Linux compatiblity and first-class technical support.
