A beginner to Fedora OS

Source:fedoramagazine.org/announcing-fedora-30

Hey guys. Let me be very straight 😀. I used Ubuntu 16.04 for nearly 3 years and before that I had Windows 10 on my system. But Ubuntu's programming environment enticed me😋. In the beginning, I had to face lots of challenges and sharing here is beyond the scope of this article. But thanks to its large community and groups which got me to solve the problems easily.

Just a few days before, my device showed problems like, shutting down all of a sudden even during the power supply, freezing suddenly amidst a session. This happened quite frequently, sometimes thrice at a time and all I had to do was a force shutdown. Gosh! I can't tell you how that felt experiencing the same problem again and again. It was a total headache.😓

That is what urged me to install Fedora 30 LTS, for having an experience of working in a new environment. So I thought of writing an article including the necessary things to do for getting used to Fedora. Thanks to Ubuntu from which I learned a lot of things which is helping me get used to Fedora in many ways (even though these two OS differ a lot).

The first thing that I wanted to do was customizing my desktop. I found Fedora OS different in many ways from Ubuntu. For making myself used to Fedora, I first installed the GNOME Tweaks tool from the Software Center.

#GNOME Tweaks
You might experience some difficulty with the mouse clicks, so first let's do something. For that, open GNOME Tweaks > click on Keyboard & Mouse. From here make changes as per your necessity.

The second thing you may want to do is, enabling the Maximize and Minimize buttons. So open the GNOME Tweaks > click on Window Titlebars > Enable Maximize and Minimize button.

#Dash to dock
In Fedora, you'll find Dash in the overview which might be quite tedious when you have to work with many programs. For this, you'll need Dash to dock extension which you can find in the Software center. Install it and open it to customize your desktop and make Fedora friendlier to use.

#Launching a Terminal
Basically there is no shortcut key to launch Terminal in Fedora. But guess what, we can add a shortcut key. Open Settings > Scroll down to Devices > Select Keyboard > Scroll down and click + . Give a Name to the shortcut, I named it as Launch New Terminal. In the command include
gnome-terminal &
Then choose a shortcut as you wish to, for me I prefer, Ctrl + Alt + T. This has become more handy to me.

Simple Face Recognition Project using OpenCV python Deep Learning

Okay, not from completely scratch though, in this Article you are going to learn to build a simple face detection and recognition console based application using Opencv python and Deeplearning Before Starting: If you don't have enough time to read the whole article or you are too lazy to read articles Scroll all the way down and there is source code at last heading Resources. If you really love to learn step by step, there are lots of comments inside the code. I highly recommand you to read and go through it And at last, Don't panic :D Lets start: Installing Libraries: dlib (by davis king) Face_recognition (by adam geitgey ) (wraps around dlib’s facial recognition functionality making it to work easily with dlib) we also need to install imutils. Actually imutils is used to make basic image processing functions such as translation, rotation, resizing, skeletonization, and displaying Matplotlib images easier with OpenCV but we will be using it to maintain di

Image Compression and Color Quantization using K-Means Clustering

In this post, you'll able to compress an image of higher size relatively to a smaller size. Here size I mean the image's memory consumption, not the aspect ratio (though it is also somewhat related to the size). Before we begin, let's be familiar with what Image Compression, Color Quantization and K-Means Clustering is. Basically K-Means Clustering is used to find the central value (centroid) for k clusters of data. Then each data point is assigned to the cluster whose center is nearest to k . Then, a new centroid is calculated for each of the k clusters based upon the data points that are assigned in that cluster. In our case, the data points will be Image pixels. Assuming that you know what pixels are, these pixels actually comprises of 3 channels, Red, Green and Blue . Each of these channels' have intensity ranging from 0 to 255, i.e., altogether 256. So as a whole, total number of colors in each pixel is, 256 x 256 x 256. Each pixel(color) has 2^8 colors

Happiness Detection in Images using Keras

Hello folks! Are you happy or are you not sure? Alright, let's build a model that will help you find out if you're happy or not. Well, let's start with some basic understanding of this tutorial and later dive deeper into the neural networks. We're very well known what popular Computer Vision is. It is one of the most popular field of machine learning. Happiness Detection is also one of such field where we apply Computer Vision techniques. This is a binary classification type of problem where we'll building a model that will detect whether the input image is either smiling or not. The dataset is already labeled as smiling or not smiling. We'll be using 600 images for training and 150 images as test dataset. Before we get our hands into the core part, let's first import some libraries. Now let's know more about the data. After the execution, you'll be able to look at the number of data we've taken for training and testing the prepared model. N
