Linux

This is a blog about Linux. I mainly write about Zorin OS, Winux (formerly Windowsfx, Linuxfx, and Wubuntu), and Manjaro.
I focus on distributions aimed at casual users, where you can do most things via the GUI without having to use many commands.

When setting up a web server using Apache on Zorin OS to create a local WordPress environment, you may encounter issues with `post_max_size` and `upload_max_filesize`.

Thunderbird is the default email client in Manjaro. If you use Thunderbird on other computers, you can import your email account settings.
However, while information such as POP, IMAP, and SMTP port numbers will be imported, your email account passwords will not be imported.
If you have only a few email accounts, it might be faster to simply set them up from scratch.

To use a printer on Manjaro, first start the CUPS service. Next, install the printer driver from "Add/Remove Software." If the printer isn't recognized right away, try removing it from the print settings and then reconfiguring it; this may resolve the issue.
It's a shame that the files available for download from the manufacturer's website aren't compatible.
