Linux gaming: Proton 3.16-8 out.Included DXVK 1.0 brings performance improvements, enhancements to this D3D10 / D3D11-over-Vulkan layer (to smoothly play M$ DirectX10 & 11 titles). Most high profile games are playable on Linux now via Steam Play. Majority of remaining unplayable ones are affected by some junk DRM / anti-cheat which doesn't work in Wine.Valve is expected to transition Proton to Wine 4.x re-base soon.==> https://www.gamingonlinux.com/articles/proton-316-8-beta-is-out-for-steam-play-with-dxvk-10-and-game-fixes.13725_#Steam #Linux #Proton #SteamPlay #Valve

Looking forward to ability to run Linux on recent Spydows 10 Arm laptops?It's soon to become an easy reality thanks to Red Hat / Fedora!Red Hat's Peter Robinson:"We're going to be working with the team to bring Fedora to these Arm laptops very soon too! Had some great conversations with the crew at #BKK19 about this, initial focus on the SD850 devices like the Lenovo. Anyone want an Arm64 laptop as a daily driver?"==> https://twitter.com/nullr0ute/status/1114903426624704512?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw _#Arm #laptop #ArmLinux #RedHat #Fedora

@Corben78 It is a good thing for some, and maybe for freebies, but Epic has treated the penguin folk like a third class citizen in practice so far :thaenkin: I for one wouldn't be supporting them anytime soon unless something quite revolutionary happens towards Linux in their realms ....

South Korea is planning Linux migration as Windows 7 support ends.The interior ministry will begin test-running Linux on its PCs. if no issues arise, Linux systems will be introduced more widely within the government.They don't mention any specific distro such as Ubuntu, yet in future "hope to avoid building reliance on a single OS" which the case is now with Win7. Linux ecosystem is flexible / adaptive.== > http://www.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20190517000378_#Korea #Linux #SouthKorea #Yonhap #deleteMicrosoft

To go on sale in the US this month: Lenovo ThinkPad P laptops with Ubuntu.Dell may be the best-known Linux laptop vendor right now, but Lenovo is looking to muscle in on the pre-installed Linux machine market.Shipping Linux on high-end, premium machines like these is indicative of one thing: demand. Lenovo is clearly hearing from its customers, from businesses, and from developers that they want LINUX out of the box.==> https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2019/06/lenovo-thinkpad-p-series-ubuntu-preinstalled_#Lenovo #Thinkpad #Ubuntu #Linux #business
