As a result, it stopped receiving proven, stable updates -and its use, especially in production environments, became risky. This is -a very serious problem for many companies and individuals around the world. So -there was an urgent need to find a new source of updates for CentOS in order -to keep it in the infrastructure. A complete solution to this problem is -support switching, that is, pointing to a new repository from which CentOS -will be downloading stable updates. Such a solution is offered by EuroLinux. -It is worth mentioning that both CentOS and RHEL and EuroLinux are systems -built on the same source code, so they provide the same functionality. They -differ mainly in branding. - -The operation of switching support is simple, reasonably safe and completely -reversible. What is very important, it requires neither reinstallation of the -system nor the applications installed on it. The process consists of switching -the repository, installing the el-release package, updating the system and -reinstalling the system packages in-place. -After the in-place migration, CentOS will still be usable, even in production -environments. - -All resources used in this tutorial can be found in the [additional -resources section](#additional-resources). - -## The solution - -A project named *eurolinux-migration-scripts* has been created. It contains -among others a script that will take care of the migration automatically. Here -we describe, how to perform the switch successfully. - -### Preparations - -It's vital that the system be updated to the newest release. Use the following -command: - -```bash -sudo yum update -y -``` - -### Running the migration script - -Then download the [latest production-ready -release](https://github.com/EuroLinux/eurolinux-migration-scripts/archive/refs/heads/master.zip) -of the project containing the script. Unpack the release, visit the -unpacked directory and run the script - usually this will require -right-clicking in the current directory, using the 'Open in Terminal' option -and running this command: - -```bash -sudo bash migrate2eurolinux.sh -``` - -Refer to the project's README for additional commands. - -### After the switch - -Once the migration has finished, it's recommended to reboot your system: - -```bash -sudo reboot -``` - -Once the system has rebooted, the migration process can be considered -complete. -In order to quickly verify that it was carried out successfully, we -can check the distribution description: - -```bash -cat /etc/el-release -``` - -As a result we should get a response about the distribution and latest -EuroLinux version. - -## Conclusion - -As you can see, the process is quick and seamless. You can switch the -repository for RHEL, Oracle Linux, AlmaLinux, and Rocky Linux the same way. -In each case, the process will look almost identical. - -If you have any questions or concerns, please submit them to the repository -linked in the [additional resources section](#additional-resources).

It combines the look and functionality of Windows® and macOS® with the reliability and security of a server-based Enterprise Linux distribution.** - -## Overview - -EuroLinux Desktop is built upon the source code of Red Hat® Enterprise Linux® 9. However, it includes a number of changes to the user interface. These primarily concern the system's appearance and usability. GNOME extensions have been used for this purpose. In EuroLinux Desktop, they are pre-configured and available immediately after installation - "out of the box." In addition, the Polish language version of EuroLinux Desktop fills in the gaps in the Polish translations of the extensions and GNOME. - -## Appearance & Features - -In EuroLinux Desktop, there is a translucent dock (taskbar) at the bottom of the screen. It stores icons for favorite applications, notifications and running programs, a button that displays icons for all applications in high magnification, as well as date and time information. It is possible to change the position of the bar to the right, left or top of the desktop, as well as to customize it extensively. The user can customize its height, length, transparency, color, icon spacing and size. The system allows icons to be placed on the desktop as standard, and provides a window maximization and minimization function. - -EuroLinux Desktop disables the overview mode and the hotcorner function, which displays the preview mode when you hover the mouse over the top left corner of the screen. When you right-click on the wallpaper, additional menu items appear (including New Text Document). Notification icons from instant messaging or email programs have also been added. EuroLinux Desktop lets you switch day/night themes with a single click on the moon icon in the dock, and allows you to set a schedule for automatic theme switching based on the time of day. - -## Multimedia - -EuroLinux Desktop supports many media file formats (mp3, mpg, wma, ts, opus, ogg, mp4, flac, aiff, acc, ac3, avi), as well as the open codecs used for the popular mkv (Matroska) video files. Each of these formats can be run in the default Totem/Videos system player. - -## Office Suite - -EuroLinux Desktop includes the LibreOffice suite of office applications. It includes a word processor, spreadsheet, presentation editor, vector graphics editor, mathematical formula editor and relational database management system. - -## Software - -EuroLinux Desktop has been integrated with the Flathub repository, providing easy access to more than 2,000 free applications. They can be downloaded from the Software application and installed with a single click. The system also supports applications in AppImage format, the use of which is similar to programs with .exe or .msi extensions. However, in the case of EuroLinux Desktop, the AppImage application is always run from a non-privileged user. The system also allows the use of applications designed for Windows®, thanks to Steam®, Lutris or Wine. - diff --git a/docs/stylesheets/extra.css b/docs/stylesheets/extra.css deleted file mode 100644 index ff798e2..0000000 --- a/docs/stylesheets/extra.css +++ /dev/null @@ -1,10 +0,0 @@ -/*general styling*/ -.md-header {position: static!important;} -.md-header, .md-tabs {background-color: #005aa5!important;} .md-tabs {box-shadow: 1px 1px 5px #999} -.md-tabs__link, .md-tabs[data-md-state=hidden] .md-tabs__link {transition: none!important;} -.md-typeset h1, .md-typeset h2 {color: #222; font-weight: bold} -/*info boxes*/ -.md-typeset .info>.admonition-title, .md-typeset .info>summary, .md-typeset .todo>.admonition-title, .md-typeset .todo>summary {background-color: #f3f2fd;} -.md-typeset .admonition.info {border-color: #4051b5;} -.md-typeset .info>.admonition-title:before, .md-typeset .info>summary:before, .md-typeset .todo>.admonition-title:before, .md-typeset .todo>summary:before {background-color: #4051b5;} -.md-typeset p {margin-top: 4px} diff --git a/mkdocs.yml b/mkdocs.yml deleted file mode 100644 index 1e8fd64..0000000 --- a/mkdocs.yml +++ /dev/null @@ -1,43 +0,0 @@ -site_name: EuroLinux Documentation -site_author: EuroLinux Community -site_url: https://docs.euro-linux.com/ -repo_name: eurolinux-open-docs -repo_url: https://github.com/EuroLinux/eurolinux-open-docs - -# EuroLinux theme settings -theme: - name: material - custom_dir: overrides - logo: assets/favicon-white.png - favicon: assets/favicon.png - palette: - primary: indigo - font: - text: Ubuntu - code: Ubuntu Mono - language: en - features: - - navigation.tabs - - toc.integrate - - navigation.footer - icon: - repo: fontawesome/brands/github - -extra: - social: - - icon: fontawesome/solid/blog - link: https://euro-linux.com/blog - - icon: fontawesome/brands/github - link: https://github.com/EuroLinux/ - - icon: fontawesome/brands/linkedin - link: https://www.linkedin.com/company/eurolinux - - icon: fontawesome/brands/twitter - link: https://twitter.com/Euro_Linux -extra_css: - - stylesheets/extra.css - -markdown_extensions: - - admonition - - pymdownx.highlight - - pymdownx.superfences - - pymdownx.keys diff --git a/overrides/main.html b/overrides/main.html deleted file mode 100644 index 93b5fe8..0000000 --- a/overrides/main.html +++ /dev/null @@ -1,11 +0,0 @@ -{% extends "base.html" %} -{% block extrahead %} - - - -{% endblock %} diff --git a/release-notes/8.9/index.html b/release-notes/8.9/index.html index 961c386..fddae55 100644 --- a/release-notes/8.9/index.html +++ b/release-notes/8.9/index.html @@ -1505,14 +1505,14 @@
