*Linux Laptop Wiki [Rebooted]*

The aim of the website is to provide a central wiki to post experiences with Linux on the model of laptop / notebook you're using.

Linlap.info is an attempt to 'reboot' the abandoned and spammed linlap dot com which is now unusable.

Please consider participating on building a new "HQ" sending in your model / experiences!

Any help appreciated!

Destination Linux | Episode 154.

Planet's best Linux-podcast.

During a heated yet friendly conversation, Michael's (already legendary) 9 bucks stool is about to work as a timeout spot!

Maybe he'd build a penalty box around that stool in the tradition of ice hockey? Zeb appears Zen (master) and is merciful referee though.

Noah is cool as ever & Ryan has interesting "leapy" predictions.

* HAPPY NEW YEAR! *

An exceptional LINUX-DECADE of 2020's is upon us?

The growth of desktop Linux can be checked on the area of gaming: gaming is one of those resorts deciding the OS for millions and Linux has never been stronger in that area as today.

One place the Windows-refugees flee to is Linux.

Key words: Steam + Proton + Lutris + DXVK. Picture from /r/Linux_gaming.

The DXVK developer: "entering maintenance mode".

Part of the reason stated by himself: "Most of the 1.4.x releases introduced major regressions which I cannot reproduce, and therefore cannot debug and fix..."

Doitsujin is handling this project quite alone! He needs help.

Valve, please: hire him full-time so he can refactor, assign manpower to lower the workload.

Read all and please spread the word ==> https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/pull/1264#issuecomment-561776365

Thoughts about Disney aside, for all the bad they represent, lets think about the fact that Linux got addressed by the company itself and in just a few days.

Meanwhile: Google Drive is nowhere to be seen coming for Linux.

These are not recommended for use to start with, as the goal is user freedom, but these definitely help Linux adoption.

Once on Linux, the free as in freedom alternatives can be found thereafter.
