It has been possible since IOS13, Install and use your own fonts as follows: The Fonts tab is under Settings -> General -> Fonts First install the FontDiner app: After installation, we open the app and switch to the Library tab and activate the fonts. Now we can find the fonts under Settings -> General -> Fonts. Unfortunately, the fonts cannot be used system-wide. With today's update of Pages and Keynote, the fonts can be selected in the respective application.
A display link is connected to my Lenovo laptop which I use 2 Operate monitors. Under Linux 2 Packages needed (Arch: displaylink, house) After installation I was able to do as requested 2 Operate displays, however, I always had to log on to the login screen 2 times sign up. To avoid double registration, page_flip must be deactivated. To do this, create the following file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-displaylink.conf with the following content: Section “OutputClass” Identifier “DisplayLink” match Driver “house” Driver “mode setting” Option “AccelMethod” “none” Option “PageFlip” “false” EndSection
Due to lack of performance on my Linux notebook, Windows was running 10 Guest on VirtualBox not performant enough. After a little research I found a benchmar, the VirtualBox and KVM compares: https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=virtualbox-60-kvm&a% 20 =% 203 KVM seems to perform better. I wanted to test that. First the hard disk of the source system is converted into the desired target format: qemu-img convert -f vmdk -O qcow2 /Virtual/Box/win10-disk001.vmdk /KVM/win10/win10.qcow2 Now a new virtual machine is created in virt-manager. Sata is used as the controller for the converted hard disk. It is best to add a virtual CD-Rom and insert the Iso image of the Fedora drivers. The current drivers can be downloaded here: https://fedorapeople.org/groups/virt/virtio-win/direct-downloads/archive-virtio/ Now we start the machine. In Windows we select the CD-Rom drive and install the guest[…]

Under Windows, the DNS availability can be checked with nslookup. On Linux, the equivalent is dig
For a long time I was looking for the right terminal for my purposes. I am a follower of the Gnome philosophy which I think does everything right with their DE. But this should be a matter of taste. So it made sense for me to use the gnome terminal with transparency. Guake was used as the dropdown terminal. I have been working with the i3wm for a long time now and since switching to my new Lenovo T470P, I also wanted to take a little care of the beauty and functionality of my system. I started to deal with the terminals and came across a post, who dealt with one point, that has long been a thorn in my side. It's about the text selection in[…]
The Lenovo T470P is almost completely supported by Linux. The fingerprint reader is an exception, that is not supported. The T470p differs from the T470 in a changed CPU configuration and the lack of a USB-C / Thunderbolt connection. There is an overview here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Lenovo_ThinkPad_T470 I am using the device with a Lenovo Docking Station, which works out-of-the-box well. Compared to my previously used W530 a dream, because there the docking with an external monitor could only be operated using bumblebee due to the built-in Nvidia graphics. Only the sound could not be output via jack but only via Displayport. A short research turned out, that the problem has already been reported as a bug: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id = 195161 With the release of Kernel 4.15.5[…]
