Can We Play Games On Linux Distros??

Probably,Everyone thinks that open source is not for gaming and we cannot play games on open source.Now the above statement is absolutely not true,We can actually play games on open source linux distros.There are certain utilities which you need to play games on Linux.

I am going to discuss about how we can play games on Linux.Games which are playable on Windows can be played on Linux.

First,You need a utility called Wine which is a open source software made to run .exe files on Linux.



For example,

You can easily install wine on Ubuntu by simply using the apt-get installer of Ubuntu as follows:

sudo apt-get install wine

This will install wine on your Ubuntu system which will let you run the .exe files of windows directly on your Ubuntu.

You can directly right click on an .exe file and choose to run with wine option to run that file.

In this way you can play games directly on your Linux Distros.

Simple N Fast

As you can see I am playing the game called “I Am Alive” on Ubuntu



Now,The there is a second way of playing games on Linux which is by using playonlinux application.



By installing playonlinux you can directly interact with its GUI to play games and run applications of windows on Linux.

Voila! So Linux is awesome in its own way!

Basics Of Ansible,A OpenSource Tech

What is Ansible? Ansible is simple open source IT engine which automates application deployment, intra service orchestration, cloud provisioning and many other IT tools. Ansible uses playbook to describe automation jobs, and playbook uses very simple language i.e.  YAML  (It’s a human-readable data serialization language & is commonly used for configuration files, but could be used in many applications where data is being stored)which is very easy for humans to understand, read and write. Hence the advantage is that even the IT infrastructure support guys can read and understand the playbook and debug if needed (YAML — It is in human readable form). Ansible is designed for multi-tier deployment. Ansible does not manage one system at time, it models IT infrastructure by describing all of your systems are interrelated. Ansible is completely agentless which means Ansible works by connecting your nodes through ssh(by default). But if you want other method for connection like K...
