Linux is a powerful open-source operating system that has been around for many years and is widely used for running servers and websites. But most students and Makers encounter it for the first time when they are working on projects with their Raspberry Pi or similar single-board computers (SBCs) such as BeagleBone Black or Intel Galileo. Linux for Makers is the first book that explains the Linux operating system specifically for Makers, as opposed to programmers and administrators. gaining a deeper understanding of Linux, Makers can add another useful tool to their kit that will help them build their projects more easily.Written with the Maker in mind, this book will focus mostly on Rasbian running on the Raspberry Pi as it is the most prolific in the ecosystem today. However most of the topics covered will apply broadly to other Linux distributions and will be called out when they may differ. Many times users cut and paste from a website tutorial into the Linux command line without understanding what they are actually doing only to be frustrated when they want to modify or tweak something to suit their needs. Also, many Makers shy away from using the Raspberry Pi or similar board because they feel Linux is too foreign and they think using a command line will be more difficult than using a GUI. This book aims to overcome those fears and provide a foundation for further learning and exploration. To that end, this book will focus on the basic principles that a Maker would need to know as opposed to other resources that go into detail that is not particularly relevant to building projects.

Amazing Paddle!
Color: 1 Pro Black
I play pickleball daily, and I purchased this because I needed a backup paddle for an upcoming tournament. I love trying out and supporting underrated small brands, so I decided to give this one a try. I was genuinely surprised by the quality. It’s a bit heavier than my original paddle, but still very lightweight. The surface is nicely gritty, and I tested it during a game today, it’s powerful, swings well, helps me hit farther and harder, and doesn’t strain my wrist. I think I’m going to use this as my main paddle for the tournament.

Strong beginner paddle.
Color: 1 Blue
I have been using the LiberAla Pickleball Paddle for some of my beginner lessons and let me tell you—this thing is a game changer. My students gave some of their first impressions: "First off, it feels like holding a wand. A very powerful wand, mind you." "I picked it up, and suddenly I felt like I was ready for a professional tournament, even if my skills still resemble a baby giraffe on ice." The grip is super comfy—it is a little on the bigger side, so not for the smallest hands. The lightweight design makes it easy to catch those tricky volleys.  One of my students said they felt like they could send the ball soaring into the stratosphere! Or, you know, at least over the net most of the time. As for the sweet spot, it is excellent covering most of the face of the paddle. The sound? A little on the loud side, makes a satisfying “thwack” that sounds way more impressive than it is. Now, I can’t say we didn’t have a few cringe-worthy moments—like when one of my players tried to smash it like a pro and ended up sending the ball straight into my own face -- that's why I always wear protective goggles. Classic! But hey, if laughter is the best medicine, I might just be the healthiest pickleball player out there. Overall, the LiberAla Paddle is a solid choice for any beginner looking to have a laugh and unleash their inner pickleball guru. Just maybe get some goggles if you’re like some of my students and have a penchant for unintentional self-harm. Happy paddle swinging! Paddle quality: Well made, good carbon fiber face, grip is comfortable and absorbent.  Edge protector is a big plus for beginners.

Good quality and good value for money
Color: 1 Blue and 1 Orange
Love this pickleball paddle set very much because: 1, the quality is great. I’ve purchased two other paddles. The two paddles in this set are satisfied. The feeling of holding them is good and the sound when they hit the pickle balls is satisfying. It’s not heavy, probably due to the honeycomb and carbon fiber material. 2, the colors are pretty and the color patterns are good designed. It’s easy to find our paddles. 3, this set is a good value for money. It contains two paddles, four balls, and a bag. You get everything with good quality with the money for one paddle. Overall, this pickleball paddle set has good quality and good value for money. Worth trying.
