Linux Never Had a Better Chance to Beat Windows



Windows 10 is out, and everyone is talking about it. It's clear that Microsoft did something right for a change and that the latest version of the OS is better than the previous releases. This is actually a good thing.

LibreOffice Online with Team Editing Collaboration
Continuing the intro, now we will try LibreOffice Online with team collaboration. This allows you and friends (a team) altogether to edit a document simultaneously via the internet. It supports computer, laptop, as well as Android device users. How to do that? This simple tutorial explains it step by step for you.
[...]
Once a friend clicked the link, he/she will open your document on the web browser, asked for a name, asked for the password if any, and finally can edit the document together with you at the same time. The name asked will be used as identifier when a team working together.

Proposal and Steps To Dual-License Gutenberg Under the GPL and MPL
The GPL is so embedded into WordPress that it is not just the license the platform is under but a part of the community’s culture. Friends have been gained and lost over discussions of it. Bridges burned. Battles waged. People cast out to the dark corners of the web that “we don’t talk about.” There was even a time when one could expect a fortnightly GPL dust-up in which the inner WordPress world argued the same points over and over, ad nauseam.
It might be hard to imagine a world where — outside of third-party libraries — direct contributions to the software are under anything other than the GPL. However, the wheels are now in motion. The Gutenberg project, which is the foundation of WordPress going forward, may soon be under both the GNU General Public License (GPL) v2 and the Mozilla Public License (MPL) v2.0.
| Intel Contributes New "KCPUID" Utility For Linux To Reliably Report CPU Features
Intel engineers have been working on a tool called kcpuid for showing the raw CPU features/capabilities of a processor under Linux. This utility will be part of the kernel source tree and is queued up now in tip's x86/misc branch, thereby making it material for Linux 5.13 barring any issues coming up.
Users/administrators can generally rely on /proc/cpuinfo for quickly finding out CPU features of a given system. But the reported CPU information can be a bit misleading as some information can get left out due to kernel boot-time / command-line options that may disable some feature flags. Meanwhile other user-space utilities exist for reading CPU features but they are not necessarily up-to-date for the latest CPUs, among other potential issues.
