More from Late Night Linux
A true legend of computer science leaves us, Fortnite is coming to Linux, Steam is finally moving away from 32-bit, Microsoft Defender comes to the Linux Desktop, Adobe’s flagship apps are cloned by AI as open source, and a quick KDE Korner.
New Snapdragon SoCs will officially support Linux, Firefox’s redesign confuses us, the Dutch government is embracing NixOS, F-Droid has a new modern look, and Ubuntu starts shipping new kernels more regularly. Plus with the iPhone Duo about to come out, Graham is still enjoying his Pixel 9 Pro Fold but Joe’s 10 Pro Fold is in a drawer.
Joe gives his first impressions of the Steam Frame – a Linux PC that you wear on your face. It’s great for VR games, but it also has a KDE desktop.
What Linux and open source will look like in 10 years, the aspects of Linux that got us hooked all those years ago, our happiest and most miserable experiences of converting people, and how we teach kids about privacy and security.
The Steam Frame is finally here and it’s not quite as expensive as we feared. Graham was selected in the lottery but will he actually buy one? We finally talk about Omarchy, its huge fundraising effort, and why we are disappointed in companies who are contributing. Plus LibreOffice’s enviable download numbers. With guest hosts Andy from Linux Dev Time, and Shane from Hybrid Cloud Show.
