Linux Voice Introduction

Article from Issue 280/2024

This month in Linux Voice and Elvie.

Sometimes you want a grand, sweeping application that will transform your experience, and sometimes you just want a simple tool to make your life a little easier. In this month's Linux Voice, we lean into a few of those simple tools. We take you inside diffoscope, the value-added diff utility you can use to find the differences between similar files. We also introduce you to the Qiplex toolset, a collection of tools that will help you take the monotony out of ordinary file management tasks. And finally, we show you how printing from the command line can be the simplest, quickest option – using just a single input line – for printing Postscript and PDF files.
