This Week in Linux


Linux Birthday, IBM POWER, Ubuntu Touch, Pinebook Pro, NVIDIA, Dell, Steam | This Week in Linux 80

August 28, 2019

On this episode of This Week in Linux, we’ve got a couple birthdays to celebrate with one being the Linux kernel itself and Valve’s Steam Play (Proton) project. IBM announced some great news regarding their open source efforts (POWER), UBports announced OTA-10 of Ubuntu Touch, the Pinebook Pro public preorders have arrived, DELL announced their new Linux powered XPS Laptop, and NVidia has some new Beta Drivers that seem very promising. Then we’ll check out some App News with a new AMD GPU Settings tool (CoreCtrl), an APK Downloader for Linux (Racoon), and a slick way to create your own Electron desktop apps (Nativefier). Later in the show, we’ve got some new distro releases from Netrunner and EasyOS. All that and much more on Your Weekly Source for Linux GNews!
