Ubuntu is now available on the Windows Store

By


Last year when Microsoft brought native support for Ubuntu in Windows 10, it was like dream come true for the Linux geeks out there. Going a step further, Microsoft took another unprecedented move by bringing Ubuntu (Linux Distribution) to Windows platform.

As promised, Ubuntu is now available on the Windows Store and one can download it from there. With this big move Microsoft is supposed to hit the bull’s eye by captivating more users to Windows platform.
Now installing an entire OS just became as easy as downloading an application from the Store. Now users will not have to install any virtual machine, dual boot or do anything other than downloading the software and ticking a checkbox.
Users will be able to download Ubuntu from the Windows Store and run Ubuntu sand-boxed in Windows 10.


How to get Ubuntu?


Presently this feature is available to  the users participating in the Windows Insider Program and its easy enough to join if you haven’t already. You will also have to activate the Windows Subsystem for Linux beforehand. I have already mentioned how to activate the Windows Subsystem for Linux in my previous post. Here is the link for the same (Windows 10 Tricks & Hidden Features !) .



The user experience will not be same as the conventional copy of Ubuntu, as it is mainly focused on running command line utilities and SSH.
The big step is aimed at IT managers and developers who are likely to use Microsoft’s services and offerings if they can access familiar Linux environment on Windows machine.

How to Hard Reboot an iPhone or iPad

By
No one can easily doubt over the engineering efforts made by Apple. Despite of that there are some chances that your iPhone or iPad might stop working, by which I mean it stops responding to your touch. At that moment you need to reset your iPhone and considering the worst scenario no matter how long you hold the power button the power off option doesn’t show up. This condition may arise due to any software bug or unwanted behaviour of any app. In such cases there is  a straightforward method to resolve it , which involves forcing your device to reboot. This method is termed as reset or hard restart which is done by holding down the combination of 2 buttons simultaneously for 10 seconds or more. By doing so all running processes will be cleared and the device will be rebooted forcibly. Talking about iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, the Home button is not a physical button anymore. So the button combination is bit different in these devices than their predecessor. ...

PS5 What To Expect!!

By
Sony Playstation 4  is nearing 60 million consoles sold and with Microsoft's XBox Scorpio Project out now, Ps4 is soon to become an inferior machine from a specs perspective. Logic would point to Sony having to respond in some fashion .So could PlayStation 5 be a retaliation to XBox's 4K consoles as soon as 2018? When will Ps5 be coming out? Marketing analyst Damian Thong and Michael Pachter have both individually predicted Sony to release Ps5 in 2018. Does 2018 seem too soon????? Yeah,it would if you just bought a Ps4 pro in 2016. Sony is waiting for an increasing saturation of 4K TV's in consumer household before launching a new hardware. Whether you believe Pachter or Thong(or neither), the rumblings make it seem as though the Ps5 is certainly not too far away. As such,  TrendzMag  has put together a wishlist of what we'd love to see, as well as all the latest news as it comes. Ps5 specs--How powerful the Ps5 will be?? Ps4 re...
