Speaking Klingon I’m a relative newbie to Linux. I've played around in older versions of Ubuntu. However, I am yet to be admitted to the inner sanctum where phrases such as SUSE, Debian, REDHAT, Grub, Unity, GNU, and many others, are used with unquestioning authority. However, to me they may as well be in Klingon as they are just so much gak to me. Maybe an introductory ‘Dummies’ article would help demystify some of these terms and I’d feel more at home here. While my Unix background is helpful, (a long time user of fruit-inspired products) there is still much to be learned. Owen McCarthy
Parler Klingon
Je suis un presque débutant sur Linux. J'ai un peu joué avec les versions précédentes d'Ubuntu. Cependant je suis loin d'être admis dans le saint des saints où les mots comme SUSE, Debian, REDHAT, Grub, Unity, GNU, et beaucoup d'autre sont utilisés sans remettre en cause leur autorité. Donc pour moi, ça pourrait être du Klingon car ils n'ont pas de sens pour moi. Peut-être qu'un article d'introduction pour les 'Nuls' pourrait aider à démystifier quelques uns de ces termes et je me sentirais plus à l'aise ici. Tandis que mon passé Unix m'aide, (un utilisateur de longue date de produits fruités), je dois apprendre encore beaucoup.

Deepin Mirrors Just a short comment on the Deepin OS review: Yes, the downloads from the “Deepin Technology Ltd” servers (I believe in Shanghai) can be anciently slow. However, there are mirror servers; I use the one from Kent University-UK providing download speeds as usual from elsewhere (in the UK). I was advised about the mirror servers via the Deepin Forum site. Frank Dinger
BQ M10 Tablet Just viewed the YouTube on the BQ M10 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6LGmq38G0to). I just received one this week. It is everything you say! One more plus: I live in the USA in central Ohio, and received the M10 shipped from Spain in less than a week from the day I ordered it. And the shipping was free. The unit with Duo Case and 2 screen protectors cost me 299 Euros or about $330 – a bit pricey for a Tablet, but I am a fan of the Linux OS and want it to prosper. I bought the M10 for my wife. Neither of us has used a Tablet, but the large cumbersome Windows 10 laptop she uses is slow and, for her, confusing. She's finding the M10 has a relatively brief learning curve even though she's not a cyber whiz. I've been an Ubuntu fan, though no Linux expert/nerd, for a few years now. For my desktop, I'm using a MintBox2 I got from an Israeli manufacturer. My laptop is a used Dell E6410, I bought cheap, on which I also use the latest Mint version. I've yet another old Toshiba NB505 that I'm using with a new installation of the latest version of Lubuntu. This minimalist Ubuntu works really great on a machine without much to offer. Ron Payne
Voice Interface? I would like to use voice mainly as the interface with a computer. Any progress on using Cortana, Siri, Google or other bots on Ubuntu? A simple request that would probably need a vast amount of work. Tom
Une interface vocale ?
Je voudrais utiliser principalement la voix comme interface avec un ordinateur. Est-ce qu'on progresse dans l'utilisation de Cortana, Siri, Google ou d'autres robots sur Ubuntu ? Une demande simple qui necessitera certainement beaucoup de boulot.
