This is the fourth compilation of our tutorials and other related articles on Ubuntu 24.04 "Noble Numbat," which have been published here at The Ubuntu Buzz since 2024. In the last compilation, we talked from the List of Ubuntu Default Apps to Thunderbird Email Client. In this episode, we compiled the articles from July and August, about Camera, for your video call experiences, the two penguin games Tux Math and Tux Typing, for your children's educational amusements, and more. We hope this compilation could be useful for you all, especially if you have just started with Ubuntu recently. Happy reading and see you next time!

1. Camera - An Intro to Ubuntu Default Photography Application 

 

Make use of your webcam device on Ubuntu using the default Camera application. This application is originally part of GNOME, and it has the characteristics of being simple and just-work.  You can take pictures or record videos with it. You can also enable some filters available to enhance your pictures.

2. Tux Math Game

 

Tux Math is like a lost treasure in today's education, that is, a good educational game for kids. It is part of Tux4Kids, a long-lasting free software project to develop high-quality education games for children aged 6 to 12 or more. This great piece of software is available on Ubuntu 24.04, and we believe you will find it fun playing it with your children as a parent or your students as a teacher. Play it, and share it with the others!

3. Tux Typing Game

 

Tux Typing is like another lost treasure, along with Tux Math, in today's education: a good education game for both kids and adults. It is our community's alternative to the popular game Feeding Frenzy, with a penguin as the mascot, so you can play a training of English vocabularies alongside a training of keyboard typing.

5. Debian 13 GNU/Linux "Trixie"

 

In the whole GNU/Linux family, Debian is the parent of Ubuntu, meaning Ubuntu is created from the source code of Debian, while in turn Debian is created from combining the source code of GNU and Linux (and that works like that thanks to they are Free Software). We highly respect The Debian Project (just like we respect Ubuntu, GNU, and Linux projects), so we would love to put Debian 13 "Trixie" here the spirit of our community and that our operating systems are one GNU/Linux.

6. Find and Replace on the web

 

Find and Replace feature is essential to authors and writers alike on the web. With that, we can easily correct our writing mistakes or change some words to the others with just one click. Get started with it and have a good experience in your work!
