Student developers often face a frustrating dilemma: should they install Linux alongside Windows using dual-boot, or rely on slow and often expensive cloud VMs? Thanks to Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), that choice is no longer necessary. WSL allows developers to run a real Linux environment directly inside Windows without rebooting, partitioning, or using resource-heavy…
If you’re using Windows 10 or 11, you can install Linux inside your system using WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) — no need for dual boot or virtual machines. And with it, you can run tools like Jupyter Notebook — perfect for data science, machine learning, or Python-based development. In this tech concept, we’ll walk…
If you’re a Windows user exploring Linux through Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), you’ve likely noticed how quickly your C: drive can fill up. By default, WSL installs distributions like Ubuntu under %LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\…, which isn’t ideal—especially if you’re managing multiple distros, working with large files, or have limited space on your system drive. To avoid clutter and gain better…
Are you a Windows user looking to harness your NVIDIA GPU for AI development using PyTorch, TensorFlow, or Hugging Face? You no longer need to dual-boot or switch to Linux to run high-performance AI workloads. With the right setup, Windows can be your ultimate AI development powerhouse.This tech concept, walks you through a bulletproof WSL…
Windows users who want to run Linux often face a tough decision: should you dual boot, use a Virtual Machine (VM), or try the newer Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)? While dual booting gives you full native performance, it forces you to reboot every time you switch environments. In contrast, both VMs and WSL allow you to run Linux side-by-side with…
If you’re a Windows user exploring the power of Linux through Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), you’re on the right path. WSL gives you access to a full-fledged Linux terminal without leaving your Windows environment — perfect for developers, sysadmins, and tech learners. But to truly harness Linux’s potential, you need to speak its language —…
For years, developers who used Windows had to either dual-boot Linux or spin up a virtual machine to access a Linux environment. That changed with WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux)—a powerful tool that bridges the gap between Windows and Linux. Whether you’re a developer, data scientist, DevOps engineer, or curious learner, this tech concept, will walk…
Managing disk space on a Linux server is a critical task, especially when it comes to Snap packages. By default, Snap retains multiple revisions of applications, including disabled versions that are no longer in use. Over time, these can consume a significant amount of storage — especially under /var/lib/snapd. In this tech concept, you’ll learn how…
Managing disk space is a key responsibility for sysadmins, developers, and DevOps engineers alike. Over time, temporary directories, media folders, and backups accumulate outdated or oversized files that eat into precious storage. Left unchecked, this can lead to full disks, failed deployments, or even data loss. In this tech concept, you’ll learn how to clean up…
Managing disk space across a fleet of remote servers is a common challenge for DevOps engineers, system administrators, and IT teams. Manual inspection doesn’t scale, and missing out on low disk space warnings can result in critical failures. In this tech concept, we walk you through setting up an automated disk usage audit system across remote Linux…
Disk space management is a critical aspect of maintaining healthy systems, whether you’re working on servers, personal workstations, or even development environments. In this tech concept, we’ll delve into the basics of the du command—the Unix utility for estimating file space usage—explore advanced tips for sorting and filtering results, and discuss real-world scenarios to free up…
Kali Linux stands as a powerful platform for cybersecurity professionals, ethical hackers, and penetration testers. This tech concept walks through the top 10 ethical hacking techniques and provides ready-to-run bash script snippets for each. These scripts are ideal for information gathering, vulnerability discovery, and penetration test preparation, all within a secure and legal context. Over the past 20 years, I’ve seen how…
Replacing data within files on Linux platforms like ubuntu, is a common task for system administrators, developers, and anyone who frequently works with large files. Whether you’re cleaning up unwanted data, replacing any typo error, modifying configuration files, or handling encoded data, understanding how to efficiently replace data in files is crucial in servers. For…
Managing memory in Linux is crucial for ensuring optimal performance, especially on servers handling high loads. In my previous TechConcept, I highlighted one crucial aspect of memory management: swap memory, which plays a vital role when your system is running low on physical RAM. But when exactly does Linux use swap memory, and why is…
Managing memory resources effectively is key to maintaining optimal performance for your EC2 instances. Leveraging my 18+ years of tech expertise, I have helped companies to cut costs dramatically through effective server optimizations like creating a swap file to prevent out-of-memory issues. Swap space acts as an extension of your server’s RAM by utilizing disk…
If your Linux servers are running slow or facing memory issues, it’s time for a tech cleanup. With 18+ years of experience building enterprise applications, I’ve learned that you must regularly get your hands dirty with the servers running your code. Armed with the right knowledge, you can quickly free up memory and enhance your…
