Setting Up an Apt Package Repository
#O.S.#Howto#Debian/Ubuntu#Linux
In this guide I’m going to assume you have a basic understanding of the command line and how to create a simple DEB package. If you need help with that, check out this Packaging software for Debian systems guide. To build a more complex package, requires a deeper understanding of the packaging system, which is beyond the scope of this guide. Debian and Ubuntu use the Advanced Package Tool (APT) to manage software installation and updates. APT retrieves packages from repositories, which are servers that host collections of software packages. Setting up your own APT package repository allows you to distribute custom software or internal applications within your organization or to the public.

How to Install Kubuntu the Arch Way
#Kubuntu#Arch Linux#Installation Guide#Linux#Desktop Environment
Introduction Over the last few years, 15 years give or take 3 year when I was forced to use Windows. I’ve tried a number of different Linux distributions. Starting with Ubuntu, then tried Arch Linux, but I’ve gone back to Ubuntu mostly because I like having to not fight setting up a all-in-one printer/scanner. I did however like installing by way of the commandline so I started installing Ubuntu the same way and that is how I installed Kubuntu 24.04. So in this post I will show you how I installed Kubuntu using the commandline and how I create a custom BTRFS partition subvolume layout. This became a necessity because the installer does not support BTRFS subvolumes properly, this is especially true for Ubuntu new installer.
