How To Create a Wifi Hotspot on Xubuntu Xfce

This tutorial will help you share your internet access on Xubuntu Xfce laptop from a cable to a wifi hotspot. A cable internet access means mainly the broadband line which usually is connected via your LAN port, otherwise a USB tethering from a phone or a mobile wifi modem (also known as MiFi). Another devices near your laptop will recognize yours as "master-hotspot" and can access the internet by connecting to it.

XFCE + Global Menu + Capitaine Theme Pack

Continuing KDE, GNOME, and MATE customization the series, it's XFCE's turn being customized with a global menu and Capitaine theme pack. We will use an XFCE theme, a GTK3 theme, an icon theme, tweak the top panel a little, and then install Plank as the dock, and finish them up with some more tweaking. I practiced this on Xubuntu 18.04 with XFCE version 4.12. I wish this helps everybody especially you who just started customizing XFCE desktop. Happy tweaking!

Enabling 3D Desktop Cube in 2018 on Kubuntu, Xubuntu, and Ubuntu MATE

For both long-time and new users, even in 2018, you can still enable 3D Desktop effects on Ubuntu GNU/Linux variants. Compiz, the famous 3D compositor in old time (most of us know it), is still alive. KWin, the 3D compositor of KDE, is also still there. You just need to know how to enable 3D on each desktop environment. Here, I use Kubuntu, Xubuntu, and Ubuntu MATE as examples. Enjoy the nostalgia!

GNU/Linux Review: Xubuntu 18.04 LTS

Xubuntu 18.04 LTS is an official flavor of Ubuntu Bionic Beaver which uses XFCE Desktop Environment. In this release, it's still as lightweight as before (~350MB of RAM at idle time), with user-friendliness you can expect as always. Yes, it still supports 32-bit so you don't have to buy new computer to upgrade or install it; for the next 3 years. It supports Snappy out of the box with GNOME Software integration. It brings Firefox 59, LibreOffice 6.0, and XFCE 4.12 for us, in only 1.3GB sized ISO image file. And yeah, in this review, I show you that Compiz works here with 3D Cube and stuffs we really missed from our old Ubuntu era. Read the review below and I hope you will like it. Enjoy Xubuntu Bionic!

How to Get Thunar File Manager with Tab Feature on Xubuntu 12.10 Quantal Quetzal

Xubuntu is one of many Ubuntu derivatives which provides an alternative desktop environment instead of Ubuntu's default desktop environment, Unity. Xubuntu uses XFCE as the desktop environment, so it's faster and more responsive than Unity. But, when you often work with Nautilus file manager with its tab feature, you might lost what you like on XFCE. The Thunar file manager (default XFCE file manager) doesn't have such feature. But don't worry, you can upgrade XFCE to version 4.12 which comes with tab feature of Thunar File Manager.
