How to install Microsoft Office on Ubuntu

Microsoft Office is a commonly-used, proprietary office suite. Because the Microsoft Office suite is designed for Microsoft Windows, it cannot be installed directly onto a computer running Ubuntu. However, it is possible to install and run certain versions of Office using the  WINE  Windows-compatibility layer available in Ubuntu. WINE is available only for the Intel/x86 platform. Alternatively, Ubuntu offers a wide range of high-quality office software, some of which is compatible with the Microsoft Office file formats. Notably,  LibreOffice  is Ubuntu's default office suite and is installed/available on all platforms supported by Ubuntu. A brief guide to the office software available in Ubuntu can be found on the  OfficeApplications  page. The following guide gives instructions on how to install and run Microsoft Office on Ubuntu by using WINE. Checking if your version of Office is supported by WINE This guide assumes that you have a copy o...

Windows Terminal Preview 1.2 Release July 22nd, 2020

Windows Terminal Preview  has new features for version 1.2 which will appear in Windows Terminal in August. You can download Windows Terminal Preview and Windows Terminal from the  Microsoft Store  or from the  GitHub releases page . Let’s dive into what’s new! Focus mode There is a new feature called focus mode that hides the tabs and title bar. This mode will only display the terminal content. To enable focus mode, you can add a key binding for  toggleFocusMode  in your settings.json file. This command is not bound by default. { "command" : "toggleFocusMode" , "keys" : "shift+f11" } Always on top mode In addition to focus mode, you can enable Windows Terminal Preview to always be the topmost window.

SoapUI Open Source 5.5 Improvements 12th February 2019

SoapUI's Background The first version of SoapUI was released in October 2005. The guy behind it was Ole Lensmar, at that time working as the architect of a huge SOA project. “There was simply no test tool available that worked well with an agile development process.”  says Ole.  “So I had to develop one myself.” For several months Ole worked with the SOA project during the days and developed SoapUI in his spare time. When Ole saw what SoapUI could do for him and his colleagues he decided to share SoapUI with other people working with SOA development and the Open Source version of SoapUI was released. Since then several releases have been made and today SoapUI is the most used tool for SOA testing in the world. Already from start the ambition was to create a best-in-breed test tool for Web Services and that mission has been a guiding star ever since. Our development strategy rests on two fundamental pillars; humble listening and innovative thinking. We have a close and op...

What’s New with Pop!_OS 20.04 LTS

We’ve got lots of new features and improvements for you to enjoy, including the talk of the town, Auto-tiling! Read on for more info on all our favorite new features from Pop!_OS 20.04 LTS. Pop!_Shell While most operating systems use the mouse as the main navigator, Pop!_OS takes full advantage of your keyboard. New and expanded keyboard shortcuts create a fluid experience—one in which your hands rarely have to leave the keyboard. Seriously. You can be just like those Hollywood hackers who never ever ever ever ever ever ever use their mouse at all. Ever. Keyboard Navigation The new keyboard shortcuts allow you to launch an application, switch between applications, toggle settings, and much, much more (as we’ll cover here shortly). In place of the default shortcuts, you can also use Vim shortcuts to navigate your desktop—without having to leave home row. For a good look at the full capabilities of keyboard navigation on Pop!_OS 20.04 LTS, click ‘View All Shortcuts’ in ...

What’s new in Ubuntu Desktop 20.04 LTS 24 April 2020

Ubuntu is the world’s most popular open-source desktop operating system, and we think this is our best release to date. Ubuntu 20.04 LTS is an enterprise-grade, secure, cost-effective operating system for organisations and home users. Before I summarise the changes in this release, let’s address something I’ve seen discussed in the wider desktop Linux community; there is a perception that the desktop is no longer a priority for us. Nothing could be farther from the truth, and here’s why; the people who use Ubuntu Desktop are often passionate people making huge waves in their industry. They want to build the next big thing, such as AI/ML, self-driving cars, public cloud services, and container orchestration. These have all emerged while we’ve been working on the Linux desktop, and all of these innovations have driven waves of Ubuntu Desktop adoption in the enterprise. As a consequence, Ubuntu was the first choice in these new domains. So even though Ubuntu is a popular community s...
