Banter - Feedback

• Void Linux bits (Thanks Duncaen)
• Vanilla Linux - That was Void's original name.
• xbps-src was originally called pkgfs
• And Juan P (Xtraeme) had some early ramblings on Void and its upbringing!
• Kyle's Email - Thanks for your feedback!
  • Some gdebi info
  • If you are on a KDE plasma desktop, Discover can install .deb packages too. Like gdebi, just right click on the file and select Discover to open with.
  • General Github software download techniques.
    • Look for a releases section and download the binary release from there.
    • If you don't see that look for the code button and download the zip file. You can also use git (If you know how and have it installed) and just copy the git url in the code button too.
  • So you downloaded a shell script...
    • I try to keep it organized and place them in ~/bin
    • You can add that to your $PATH (perhaps a bit advanced) to make it easier to call.
    • You can give it the executable flag, (most file managers have this option). Or change mode on the command line - chmod +x FILENAME
    • To start your script: ./FILENAME.sh
    • While you may not understand all of the code, it is a good idea to glance at it.

  • DuckDuckGo Search Up by 46%

Audacity 3.1.3 is released.

• Audacity 3.1.3
  • The bold claim - Improved performance. Loading in projects especially should now be up to 50x faster compared to 3.1.0
  • Many bugfixes too.
• Bigger question: Is Audacity still on everyone's no-install list?

Krita 5.0 is released.

• Official release announcement
• Highlights:
  • It has a revamped animation system
  • A brand new storyboard editor
  • A session recorder that'll let you make videos out of your work
  • and tons more stuff

How can we benefit from Wayland?

• Wayland uses less energy than X.org
• Wayland, more often than not, has better gaming performance
