But Audacity just rocks 👍

Upgrade to: Linux Mint 19.2.

Linux Mint indeed is a popular Linux operating system / this video shows how to upgrade from 19.1.

Linux Mint lets you choose the Linux kernel freely, no automatics.

Users like the fact that it is THEM who make the decisions, not some piece of software. A similarity amongst so many Linux distributions.

There's nothing one couldn't accomplish on Linux as on Windows nowadays.

Nice to see at least some form of help from them.

Possibly the pressure from AMD is doing something! I hear PS5 for instance will carry AMD's "Navi" GPU...

@unfa

Thanks for the info, gotta check this out...

@kezzbracey Oh, apparently i'm one behind 😂

Well, CURRENTLY, sort of none... as ZFS is a work ongoing but we will see after the 19.10 where we're heading reliability wise etc.

Canonical: experimental ZFS for the Ubuntu 19.10 !

Great on servers!

1. Snapshots. Computer can be configured to record what the file system looked like at a specific moment in time.

2. Compression. ZFS supports compressing of data at rest, which means data takes up less space on the drive than it would otherwise.

3. ZFS has advanced features; copy on write and checksumming that provides support to prevent data rot.

Manjaro and no issues: Manjaro Hardware Detection tool has always been a breeze to use with Nvidia drivers too!

Valve funded development of "Xrdesktop" - lets desktop environments GNOME & KDE work in VR.

Xrdesktop is a project to interact better within a VR space for presenting on VR head-sets.

The amount of resources Valve is pouring to improve the Linux ecosystem is amazing.

They've hired / have funded GPU driver devs, DXVK, Proton (Wine) devs (CodeWeavers), Keith Packard to work on direct display extensions...

Indeed!

By the way, did you know that Tolkien based the Elvish language on Finnish while creating his Lord of the Rings? :thinkhappy:

Hear this guy from Switched To Linux out.

The Equifax Hack made news and the results are finally in...

Americans who were affected can get about a $100 or a few months of credit monitoring system, meanwhile, the company gets to go on like nothing ever happened.
