Não sei se vale um tópico próprio.

A EQT, fundo de investimento privado sueco, anunciou ter chegado a acordo com a Micro Focus para a aquisição da SuSe, por uma valor de 2.5B$.
 
Para quem quer um Debian estável e out-of-the-box, e que tenha preferência por ambientes de trabalho, desktop, kde ou xfce. Existe o Solydk(kde) ou Solidx(xfce), que tem alguns pacotes mais recentes como por exemplo, firefox ou o kernel.
Saiu alguns dias as live isos com algumas novidades como AppArmor, a mais interessante;

The 201807 ISOs were released. Here follow the highlights of the changes in this release.


The new 201807 ISOs were released. These are some of the highlights:

  • Firefox's default configuration has been further restricted and the provided plugins Privacy Badger, HTTPS Everywhere and uBlock Origin help to improve your privacy.
  • These restrictions were also implemented for Thunderbird.
  • AppArmor is now installed by default. This will improve security by binding access control attributes to programs rather than to users.
  • All SolydXK applications now use pkexec to get elevated permissions.
  • Many new features and bugs were solved in our SolydXK applications.

Aqui um video com as duas isos kde e xfce, para ficarem com uma ideia;

 
Quem tem isos ou vai installar isos do LinuxMint 19, tenham atenção, vão ser disponibilizadas novas isos devido a problemas no kernel 4.15. Chamar a atenção, para finalamnte a versão beta do lmde3 , ou seja o Linux Mint Debian Edition.

Be careful with Kernel 4.15.0-24. A critical issue causes some computers to boot really slowly, or not to boot at all. Ubuntu is aware of it and working on a fix. We’ve also received negative feedback from the 4.15 kernel series in Mint 18.x (based on Ubuntu Xenial). Although Ubuntu decided to switch the HWE series towards it, the 4.15 series doesn’t appear to support some proprietary drivers yet (nvidia-3.04 and nvidia-340 among them).

LMDE 3

LMDE 3 will feature 2 different installers. In addition to our own “live-installer”, you’ll also find Calamares in the application menu.
Although live-installer works well and is very easy for us to maintain, troubleshoot and improve, Calamares is ahead when it comes to partitioning schemes and it provides the ability to use LUKS full-disk encryption.
Both installers support BIOS and EFI installations. We’ll be interested to hear your feedback.
LMDE 3 is currently in QA and its BETA release is planned for the end of the month.

Última edição:
Porra, eu acho que actualizei há dias e instalou o 4.15, mas ainda não fiz reboot, tenho de ver se faço rollback. Não me apetecia estar a reinstalar tudo outra vez :wvsore:

Senão lá tenho de ir experimentar o Tumbleweed ;)

Nunca gostei muito do Opensuse, mas com essa versao e recentemente com a Leap. Tenho em dual boot com o Arch linux, e de facto estou a mudar a minha opinião .
 
O gajo do DXVK tem estado imparável:

- The next release of DXVK for Vulkan-based D3D11 with Wine will use per-game configuration files
The goal with this, as the developer said, is to improve game compatibility out of the box for those of you running some of your favourite Windows-only games with DXVK + Wine. DXVK will have some defaults for specifics games (a little like the Mesa whitelist for certain games needing specific tweaks), but it can be overridden by a config file which you can see an example of on their wiki.

- DXVK expands with Direct3D 10 over Vulkan in Wine, also info on the new Direct3D 9-to-11 project
As for how much it actually supports, well, quite a lot. It implements "most" of the Direct3D 10.1 core API and the shader reflection API. However, the Effects API is not currently supported. To use it, you will need the d3dcompiler_43.dll, which can be grabbed by using winetricks.

More information on it here.

Do link do quote acima:
Games tested
Assassin's Creed 1
Should run fine. The MSAA option not available in-game.

Crysis 1
The 64-bit version should run fine, as noted above. On Mesa 18.1, enabling RADV_DEBUG=nohiz may be necessary in order to avoid corrupted shadows. This issue is fixed in Mesa 18.2.

Just Cause 2
Enabling SSAO may reportedly crash the game.

E há uma razão para isso:

https://www.gamingonlinux.com/artic...ich-includes-a-modified-version-of-wine.12400

Poderá ter um impacto significativo. Com a Valve a investir directamente em vários projectos, suspeito que virá coisa maior no futuro. Ainda há pouco tempo renovaram a aposta no SteamOS apesar de ter ganho pouca tracção desde a sua implementação. Estão a desenvolver novamente jogos, sendo o único oficial para já o Artifact. E os constantes avanços da Microsoft em fechar cada vez mais o seu OS. Tudo isto tem que ter um endgame, de outro modo não faz sentido tanto investimento numa plataforma tão pequena. Digo eu...
 
OS developers

Valve open-source Linux GPU driver developer Timothy Arceri has spent a lot of time in recent months improving the RadeonSI Gallium3D driver's OpenGL compatibility profile support. Now there are patches taking it up to par with the core profile context support.

With the imminent Mesa 18.2 release the RadeonSI OpenGL compatibility profile support has gone from OpenGL 3.2 to OpenGL 4.4 thanks to Arceri, Marek at AMD, and other contributors. This Friday morning Timothy has now posted patches bumping it to OpenGL 4.5.

Prolific Mesa contributor Marek Olšák has landed support for more OpenGL / OpenGL ES extensions into the RadeonSI Gallium3D driver.
...
Long story short, the work now in Mesa Git is namely about trying to hit OpenGL extension parity with the closed-source OpenGL driver and ironing out some of the remaining differences. As shown by yesterday's AMDGPU-PRO vs. All-Open vs. Upstream benchmarks, the PRO OpenGL driver for gaming remains much slower these days than the current Mesa driver stack namely for OpenGL titles with RadeonSI but also in a growing number of Vulkan games with RADV. This latest work by Marek will be part of next quarter's Mesa 18.3 stable release.

Linux 4.18 Is Appearing To Cause Problems For Those Running Older CPUs
A Phoronix reader today relayed the discoveries that he and several other Arch Linux users uncovered about running Linux 4.18 on what appears to be isolated to Intel Core 2 Duo era processors. When booting on Linux 4.18 (at least through 4.18.5), there will be an early boot CPU stall and a complete system freeze.

Saiu finalmente a versão estável, do Linux Mint Debian Edition 3. Baseado no Debian 9 "Stretch", mas com algumas ferramentas do LinuxMint.
Nesta 3ª versão, foi escolhido apenas live cd com cinnamon, deixando de existir duas como vinha sendo normal. Ou seja, nao existe um live cd Mate, mas o mesmo não invalida que possa ser instalado á posteriori.

LMDE 3 Cindy

LMDE is a Linux Mint project and it stands for “Linux Mint Debian Edition”. Its main goal is for the Linux Mint team to see how viable our distribution would be and how much work would be necessary if Ubuntu was ever to disappear. LMDE aims to be as similar as possible to Linux Mint, but without using Ubuntu. The package base is provided by Debian instead.

There are no point releases in LMDE. Other than bug fixes and security fixes Debian base packages stay the same, but Mint and desktop components are updated continuously. When ready, newly developed features get directly into LMDE, whereas they are staged for inclusion on the next upcoming Linux Mint point release.

Important info:

The release notes provide important information about known issues, as well as explanations, workarounds and solutions.

To read the release notes, please visit:

“Release Notes for LMDE 3”

System requirements:

  • 1GB RAM (2GB recommended for a comfortable usage).
  • 15GB of disk space (20GB recommended).
  • 1024×768 resolution (on lower resolutions, press ALT to drag windows with the mouse if they don’t fit in the screen).
Notes:

  • The 64-bit ISO can boot with BIOS or UEFI.
  • The 32-bit ISO can only boot with BIOS.
  • The 64-bit ISO is recommended for all modern computers (Almost all computers sold since 2007 are equipped with 64-bit processors).
Upgrade instructions:

Announcements will be made shortly with instructions on how to upgrade from LMDE 2.

If you are running the BETA, perform a system snapshot and use the Update Manager to apply available updates.

Linux 4.19-rc4 Released As Linus Temporarily Steps Away From Kernel Maintainership
Following the recent decision to change the location of the Linux Kernel Summit after Torvalds accidentally booked his flights to the wrong dates/location, plus other discussions happening recently, Linus Torvalds is taking a temporary leave. "I am going to take time off and get some assistance on how to understand people’s emotions and respond appropriately," he wrote as part of today's 4.19-rc4 announcement.

Finalmente, parece que é desta que o Lubuntu deixa o lxde e adopta o lxqt. O próximo Lubuntu Cosmic Cuttlefish, já será com lxqt.

This is the first Lubuntu milestone to be released with LXQt as the main desktop environment. The Lubuntu project, in 18.10 and successive releases, will no longer support the LXDE desktop environment or tools, and will instead focus on the LXQt desktop environment. You can find the following major applications and toolkits installed by default in this Lubuntu Cosmic Cuttlefish Beta release:

  • LXQt 0.13.0, with many bugfixes and improvements backported from upstream.
  • Qt 5.11.1, which is the first point release in the Qt 5.11 series.
  • KDE Falkon 3.0.1, which is based off of the Qt WebEngine toolkit.
  • The LibreOffice 6.1.1 suite, with the Qt 5 frontend.
  • VLC 3.0.4, for viewing media and listening to music.
  • Featherpad 0.9.0, for notes and code editing.
  • Discover Software Center 5.13.5, for an easy, graphical way to install and update software.
You can find a variety of other applications installed which aim to enhance your experience while staying out of the way of your normal workflow.
