For years, the focus of It's FOSS has been on desktop Linux. This is the reason why we mostly go for GUI solutions and tools.
Though this is not changing, knowing the basic Linux commands gives you an edge while troubleshooting.
And hence I am starting a new series this week. It's called 'Terminal Basics'. I aim to give you a base for doing some of the common things in the Linux command line.
The tutorials are written in an interactive 'do it while you read it' manner. I have also added simple exercises to practice what you learn. You can further discuss your solutions and doubts in the community forum.
Here's the first part of the series. Even if you are experienced with the commands, please give it a read and provide feedback by replying to this mail or leaving a comment.
💬 Let's see what else you get in this week's issue:
- KDE Plasma 5.27 release, among other news
- Markdown guides
- And more Linux news, open source applications, videos and memes

🗂️Markdown guides
Markdown is everywhere. You can write technical documents or take personal notes. It can be rendered beautifully on the web so you can write blogs in Markdown. Many applications like Discord also support Markdown syntax for formatting the content.
Here's a beginner's guide to help you learn Markdown.
There are several variants of Markdown. One of them is for creating R programming-related documents. Here are some details on it.
