MIUI 13 Global:



Last month, the company announced a custom interface version of Android MIUI 13 in China with a set of new features such as an updated control center, a new font, a widget store, as well as drastic overhauls to how the Xiaomi Android interface deals with hardware to give the user a better experience on his phone.


In the global version of MIUI 13, users will not get any of the features that users inside China will get, but all that this update will carry for global users is a sidebar that enables them to access some application shortcuts by dragging from the side of the screen, and in addition to What Xiaomi says are significant improvements in performance and in how MIUI handles phone resources and battery.


This sidebar may conflict with the gestures found in recent versions of Android, and you can also get a sidebar by installing an app from the Google Play Store, so I'm not sure if this feature needs to be integrated into MIUI 13.


And in the end, I would like to remind you that Xiaomi has announced two other versions in less than a year (MIUI 12.5 and MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition) with the same promises to improve performance, but none of them have been achieved on the ground, as users still suffer from interface bugs despite installing the latest available version of MIUI, And I don't know if MIUI 13 will give users any improvement in their experience, or if they will have to wait for the MIUI 13.5 update to get new promises from Xiaomi.

The following models will roll out MIUI 13 first wave in Q1 2022,  with the release schedule for other devices to be gradually published on the MIUI website. Rollout schedule may vary by region.

DEKUVE Colors 0.1 is a beautiful and promising Linux distro based on Debian

As we said in a previous article, the most important characteristic of GNU Linux operating systems is its versatility, as there is a Linux distribution for everything and every taste and all types and specifications of hardware, it is an operating system that you can run in everything, whatever it is or is. Most of these distributions are derived or based from one of these parent distributions: Debian (like Ubuntu, Linux Mint, MX Linux...), Arch Linux (like Manjaro, EndeavourOS, Garuda Linux...), and Red Hat Enterprise Linux aka RHEL (like Fedora, CentOS, ClearOS...).  These derivative distributions are also divided into two types: the first one, where developers take the base of one of the other Linux distributions and build their distribution on it, by adding their packages and desktop environment, such as a Linux Mint distribution, for example, which develops the Cinnamon desktop interface and uses it in its main release, or uses a desktop interface already exists as Manjaro do, whi

Rufus 3.18 Beta Adds The Bypass Of Windows 11 Restrictions To In-place Upgrades

A new beta version of the Rufus installation images burning tool was recently released with several new features, the most important of which is the ability to bypass Windows 11 restrictions for in-place upgrades. Rufus is a free and open-source tool that helps create bootable USB flash drives from ISO images. It supports most Linux distributions, in addition to Windows, and to MS-DOS compatible operating systems. This tool supports burning Windows installation images, from Windows XP SP2 and above, including the recently released Windows 11. After the release of Windows 11, Microsoft announced an update to the minimum specifications required to install the new system, the most important of which is that the computer must have a modern processor, TPM 2.0, and it must support secure boot too, to be compatible with Windows 11.  Many users did not like this, which made Microsoft allow Windows 11 to be installed on non-compatible devices by making some modifications in the system registry.
