Mark Text, a promising free, cross-platform, open source Markdown editor

Gone are the times when we just left Word, Writer or Pages at the time of writing. Since a few years ago, many text editors have emerged month after month and some are, truly, a genius . It is the case of Mark Text , the Markdown minimalist style editor that concerns us today.

We should start by making it clear that we are not facing a product as mature as Typora or iA Writer , nor as complete as QOwnNotes , but little has to envy of these.

Ubuntu 18.04, the most exciting version in many years

Ubuntu 18.04 is here, and although it sounds too optimistic, or maybe it is part of the good taste of Bionic Beaver when you use it, I would say that the future of Ubuntu looks brilliant . Or, at least it looks more interesting than what they had been presenting in recent years.

Already with Ubuntu 17.10 we had been able to take a look at the new direction of the distribution . This is an Ubuntu that has left behind Unity, a Canonical that has left behind its ideas of convergence and Ubuntu Touch. A company that will now concentrate on its main and profitable product: the desktop operating system.

In the era of Windows 10 and Microsoft Edge, Internet Explorer remains a security threat

As much as Microsoft recommends using Windows 10 and its Edge browser to get better anti-malware protection, its old flagship browser, Internet Explorer, continues to be exploited actively to infect users .

A new vulnerability in Internet Explorer is being exploited by a group of hackers to infect Windows computers. They do this through malicious Office files , which once opened by the user launch a web page that delivers the malware from a remote server.

Why Linux triumphs in everything but the desktop

Linux is the absolute leader in supercomputing , it is much more used than Windows in servers, and in 2017 Android became the most used operating system , surpassing Windows for the first time in history. That triumph of Android is also a triumph of Linux .

But on the desk, on the desk, the story is a very different one, one that Linus Torvlads himself considers his personal failure . The creator of Linux started Linux as a desktop operating system and that is precisely the only area in which Linux does not dominate.

YouTube will use Wikipedia information to counter your problem with conspiracy theories

It is not necessary to produce events of great importance to warn that conspiracy theories find a perfect showcase on YouTube , from those most harmless to the most potentially dangerous . However, with severe episodes like the shooting at a school in Florida on the table, emerge with greater impact. And the platform wants to avoid it with Wikipedia.

In Fedora have achieved ways to increase the performance of the battery in Linux up to 30%

Fedora, the emblematic distribution maintained by Red Hat continues to look for ways to improve the experience of its users. In this particular case, it is Hans de Goede , the head of the desktop hardware enablement team who has been working on improving battery life in Linux.

Hasn explains in his presentation several energy management features that could be activated by default in the distributions to save valuable watts. Their tests so far have managed to increase the battery life by almost 30% on a Lenovo ThinkPad T440 running Fedora.

How to set up my new Chromecast

If you have a Chromecast in your hands and want to configure it, you have reached the right place. This small device work and grace of Google has become a must for many. The first day we plugged it behind the TV and it seems that we forgot about it, but every time we use it we know why we like it so much . The convenience of launching any video on TV is what you have.

How to delete your Twitter account completely and forever

For many reasons we can decide to delete our Twitter profile . Do not deactivate it or abandon it, but delete the account forever and completely. If we know that we do not want to use the service, it is the best way because, in this way, our data and information are no longer on their servers.

The question now is: can it be eliminated? It can, yes, of course. But as in the case of the deletion of a Facebook account, the process has some singularities . In this case the step by step is simpler and more agile, it is not at all complicated. But it is another: it can not be eliminated from one day to the next. Before it is deleted, we must spend 30 days with the account deactivated.
