📰 Ubuntu Snap Prompting Improvements
If you haven’t tried Ubuntu’s ‘Permission Prompting’ feature for a while, there’s more reason to do so in the latest release. Canonical’s Oliver Calder has shared an update on recent improvements to the security feature, which sets out to “empower users” by letting them decide what software can access on the rest of the system at runtime rather than retrospectively.

You can run Windows applications like Microsoft Office and Adobe Creative Cloud directly on your Linux desktop (KDE, GNOME, or XFCE) as if they were native apps using WinApps. It works by running Windows inside a virtual machine (using Docker, Podman, or libvirt) and then showing Windows apps seamlessly on Linux with FreeRDP. Your Linux home folder is accessible in Windows, and you can right-click files in Linux to open them with Windows apps. This lets you use all Windows programs without leaving Linux, improving productivity and convenience without needing dual boot or separate hardware.
