Ubuntu 16.04 will be available for download in a few hours and since many of you will be installing it as soon as it's released, here are some useful things you can do right after the installation.

The latest Opera beta adds a cool new feature across all supported desktops: video pop out. This feature allows shifting the video frame outside the browser, the goal being to allow "true multitasking".

The new video pop out feature skipped the Opera developer channel, landing directly into beta, as a surprise for Opera users. This feature only supports HTML5 videos so it won't work with Flash.

Here's how this feature works: go to YouTube, DailyMotion or any other page that displays HTML5 videos while using the latest Opera Beta and you should see an additional button in the middle of the top border. Clicking this button pops out the video:

wttr.in is a web frontent for Wego, a weather app for the terminal. Using nothing but cURL and wttr.in, you can get weather information from a terminal, without having to install anything (well, except for cURL).

In case you're not familiar with Twitch.tv, this is a popular live streaming video platform that primarily focuses on video gaming. GNOME Twitch lets you play Twitch streams without Flash, browse games and channel lists, add favorite channels and change the video quality.

The application comes with a very basic user interface, which allows dropping a torrent file or pasting a magnet link to start streaming it.

The Shutter Imgur.com upload plugin stopped working recently, so I've been looking for alternatives and I stumbled upon Imgur-Screenshot, a bash script that can take screenshots and upload them to Imgur.

Vivaldi 1.0 stable was released today and if you gave it a try, you might have noticed, at least on a fresh Ubuntu installation, that Flash and H.264 don't work out of the box.

Here's how to get Adobe Flash and H.264 (used, for instance, by the YouTube HTML5 player) to work with Vivaldi browser, in Ubuntu, Linux Mint and derivatives.

Vivaldi is a new web browser especially created for users who "have problems fitting all their open tabs on one screen".

Developed by Vivaldi Technologies, whose chief executive and founder is John von Tetzchner, former Opera CEO and co-founder, the browser is built using open source technologies (it uses the Blink engine and, according to Wikipedia, is built using  Node.js, React.js, and numerous NPM modules), but is not open source software.
