Mounting APFS file systems on Ubuntu 22.04

 (Sat Oct 14 2023 00:00:00 GMT+0300 (Eastern European Summer Time)) The Linux ecosystem includes filesystem support for disks from many operating sytems. Apples APFS is very nice with powerful features. Setting up APFS support on Linux/Ubuntu is tricky, however.

How to set up remote desktop on Ubuntu, access it from macOS

 (Sat Nov 30 2019 00:00:00 GMT+0200 (Eastern European Standard Time)) Need to use a distant Ubuntu computer from your Mac laptop or desktop? I have an Intel NUC in my office providing some lightweight services - a Gogs-based Git server, and a Jenkins instance - and, while I hardly ever use its desktop environment it is useful to occasionally do so. Using Apple's Screen Sharing feature is excellent, when used between Mac's. But with Ubuntu two issues crop up, one being the relative difficulty getting it set up on Ubuntu and the other being the inscrutable error message macOS gives when you attempt to access the Ubuntu desktop.

Fixing Ubuntu gnome-terminal app to allow copy/paste

 (Sun Jan 28 2018 00:00:00 GMT+0200 (Eastern European Standard Time))

Ubuntu is supposed to be an easy-to-use Linux distribution where everything just works. If so, why doesn't copy/paste work with the default terminal program? It's quite common to copy/paste text and other data between applications. Speaking for myself, I am frequently writing tech tutorials like this one, and therefore must frequently copy text from a terminal session, or into a terminal session, to write the tutorial. Using gnome-terminal, the default terminal app on Ubuntu, it's a frustrating experience because copy/paste does not work fluidly with gnome-terminal on Ubuntu. Further, the fix is unsatisfying and incomplete.
