Q & A
¿Qué significa el 4% de市场份额 de Linux en el escritorio?
-El 4% de市场份额 de Linux en el escritorio indica que Linux ha aumentado su adopción entre los usuarios de computadoras personales, aunque todavía no se compara con los sistemas operativos más populares como Windows o macOS.
¿Por qué se está eliminando la sesión X11 de Fedora GNOME por defecto?
-La sesión X11 se está eliminando de Fedora GNOME por defecto para promover el uso de Wayland, que es una tecnología más moderna y eficiente, y también para reducir el espacio en disco que ocupa la sesión X11.
¿Qué consecuencias tiene la decisión de Apple de no permitir la creación de cuentas de desarrollador en la UE?
-La decisión de Apple de no permitir la creación de cuentas de desarrollador en la UE ha llevado a que la empresa enfrente una investigación por parte de la Comisión Europea, que podría resultar en sanciones adicionales si se determina que Apple no cumple con las regulaciones europeas.
¿Cuál es la razón principal del crecimiento del uso de Linux?
-El crecimiento del uso de Linux se debe en gran parte al aumento del interés en el gaming con Linux, gracias a Valve y la consola Steam Deck, así como a la mejora en la facilidad de uso y la disponibilidad de aplicaciones nativas para Linux.
¿Qué implicaciones tiene la multa de 1.8 mil millones de euros a Apple por parte de la Comisión Europea?
-La multa a Apple obliga a la empresa a cambiar sus políticas anticompetitivas, permitiendo a los desarrolladores de aplicaciones informar a los usuarios sobre opciones más económicas de suscripciones y vincular a sus sitios web para suscripciones, mejorando así la competencia y la elección del consumidor.
¿Qué sucedió con los emuladores Yuzu y Citra?
-Los emuladores Yuzu y Citra se cerraron y pagaron una indemnización de 2.4 millones de dólares a Nintendo después de ser demandados por infracción de derechos de autor, lo que resultó en la eliminación de los repositorios de GitHub y la cesación de la distribución y promoción de los emuladores.
¿Qué es la GPL y por qué es importante el caso de Orange en Francia?
-La GPL (Licencia Pública General) es una licencia de software libre que requiere que cualquier cambio en el software se comparta con la comunidad. El caso de Orange en Francia es importante porque establece un precedente de que violar la GPL es una infracción de contrato y de derechos de autor, lo que puede resultar en sanciones económicas.
¿Qué decisión han tomado los desarrolladores del kernel de Linux respecto a la undervolting de GPUs AMD?
-Los desarrolladores del kernel de Linux han decidido no permitir la undervolting de GPUs AMD por debajo de los límites recomendados por AMD para evitar daños al hardware.
¿Cómo afecta la insistencia de Nvidia en mantener firmware propietario a la implementación de características HDMI en sus controladores de código abierto?
-La insistencia de Nvidia en mantener firmware propietario permite a los desarrolladores de controladores de código abierto (nvo) agregar soporte para características HDMI sin tener que esperar a que el HDMI Forum abra la especificación estándar, lo que resulta en una ventaja para la implementación de características en sus controladores.
¿Qué son los módulos de código abierto publicados por Nvidia y cómo se comparan con los controladores propietarios?
-Los módulos de código abierto publicados por Nvidia son diferentes a los controladores nvo o nvk y están diseñados para ser utilizados en sistemas completamente de código abierto. Según los tests, estos módulos ofrecen rendimiento y consumo de energía similares a los controladores propietarios, lo que los hace una opción viable para usuarios de Nvidia que deseen utilizar sistemas de código abierto.
¿Qué es Tuxedo Computers y cómo se relaciona con Linux?
-Tuxedo Computers es una empresa que fabrica y vende ordenadores portátiles, escritorios y netbooks que vienen con Linux preinstalado y están diseñados para funcionar bien con Linux. Tuxedo Computers también contribuye con parches al proyecto de Linux para solucionar problemas específicos y ofrece una amplia gama de dispositivos personalizables para diferentes necesidades y presupuestos.

Linux Market Share Growth 📈
Linux has surpassed 4% market share on desktops, a small but encouraging increase. Factors contributing to this growth include Microsoft's reduced focus on Windows, the rise of Linux gaming, improved user-friendliness of Linux distributions, and the gaming push from Valve with the Steam Deck. India's 15% desktop market share for Linux is also a significant driver.
Fedora Drops X11 Session 🐧
Fedora 41 will no longer install the GNOME X11 session by default, offering only the Wayland session. This decision is seen as positive as it encourages users to try Wayland and reduces disk space usage. Users who experience issues with Wayland can still install the X11 session from the repository.
Apple's EU Compliance Issues 🍎
Apple faces scrutiny from the EU over its compliance with new regulations, particularly regarding its App Store policies. The EU has imposed a €1.8 billion fine on Apple for anti-competitive practices, requiring them to allow developers to inform users about alternative subscription options outside the App Store. Apple's handling of Epic Games' developer account has also raised concerns.
Nintendo vs. Emulators 🎮
Nintendo has pressured the developers of the Yuzu and Citra emulators to settle, resulting in a $2.4 million payment and the shutdown of the emulators. The source code is no longer public, and the websites have been turned over to Nintendo. However, it is expected that the emulators will reappear under different names.
Linux Kernel and AMD GPUs 🔧
The Linux kernel developers have decided to prevent undervolting AMD GPUs below recommended values to avoid potential hardware damage. This change in kernel 6.7 is not reversible despite some user complaints. Meanwhile, Nvidia users benefit from proprietary firmware that allows support for HDMI features in open-source drivers.
Nvidia's Open-Source Drivers 🚀
Nvidia's open-source modules, separate from nvo or nvk, are performing well on GeForce GPUs with the latest 550 updates. They are now certified for workstations and GeForce GPUs, offering similar performance and power consumption to proprietary drivers. This development is promising for users seeking fully open-source systems for their Nvidia GPUs.

hey everyone do you like your good Linux
and open source news mixed in with some
general bad stuff well you've come to
the right place first we have Linux
passing 4% market share on the desktop
we also have Fedora gnome decided to
drop the X11 session from the default
install which might be a good or a bad
thing depending on where you stand on
Wayland let me know in the comments and
we also have apple making a giant mess
of their compliance with the new EU
regulations and just getting beat over
the head again and again plus a giant
1.8 billion e fine they just got and of
course we also have the segue to our
sponsor this video is sponsored by
protonvpn the encrypted and private VPN
from the makers of proton mail protonvpn
lets you access anything on the internet
while bypassing censorship and region
locking by connecting to a server
anywhere in the world so you can stream
any content you like from any service
without restrictions or access parts of
the internet your country doesn't want
you to have access to protonvpn
implements both VPN accelerators to keep
your browsing really fast and netshield
which will block ads malware and
trackers on top of that protonvpn
doesn't keep any logs meaning they don't
record your browsing activity at all and
can't disclose it to anyone it can even
integrate with the tour Network and it
has apps for Windows Mac OS Linux
Android and iOS plus browser extensions
protonvpn is free and if you want even
faster speeds and more features you can
upgrade to a paid plan and now is a
really good time to do so as they have
some nice deals in March 60% off for a
15-month plan and 64% off for a 30mon
plan so click the link in the
description to learn more and get
started with with proton VPN okay so
Linux has now passed 4% market share on
the desktop according to stat counter
4.03% exactly it obviously still cannot
hold a candle to things like Windows or
even Mac OS although the latter seems to
be losing market share since the end of
2023 adding that to Chrome OS this means
Linux as a whole is now at 6.3% of the
desktop operating systems although it
might be more since stat counter also
has an unknown OS category that sits at
6.1% and this category probably contains
some amount of Linux based operating
systems as well 4% is still pretty small
but it is a nice progression more than
1% in 8 months so it is still an
encouraging Trend but also people are
wondering what is driving this growth
and one article from ZDNet seems to have
plausible reasons for that the first
reason they Advance is that Microsoft is
is not that interested in Windows
anymore most of their profits come from
Services these days Azure and their
Cloud platform Microsoft 365 and others
meaning that Microsoft is not pushing
Windows as hard as it once did this
might change if or more likely when
Windows becomes a subscription service
the second reason would be that Linux
gaming is also growing thanks to valve
and the steam deck making more people
interested in trying Linux on a regular
computer to see if it could fit the
baill for their gaming needs and thus
Linux slowly replaces windows on those
devices third the reputation Linux has
for being difficult is being adjusted in
users Minds since we have had very
userfriendly disos for a long while and
users are finally realizing it also
finding and installing software for
Linux is easier than ever now with more
apps working on Linux natively and flat
packs and snaps making it way easier to
get access to a large very upto-date
repo instead of having to add third
party repos for every app you'd like to
add or to keep up to dat and finally
they're saying that India is a huge
driver for Linux growth as Linux
represents 15% of the desktop market
share there way above Mac OS that only
reaches 3% and personally I think the
main reason is the gaming push from Val
people are realizing that Linux is a
100% valuable gaming platform for a lot
of Gamers and so they might want to try
Linux on their dedicated desktop
computer and since Linux is indeed way
easier to use to install to keep up to
date and has access to a bunch of apps
these days people are just sticking with
it more than they used to in the past
now it is finally happening Fedora is
dropping the X11 session for Gnome
starting with Fedora 41 there were
discussions to drop X11 in the KD
variant and this is happening for Fedora
40 but for the main M gnome version of
Fedora a decision had not been reached
yet so in the end what will happen is
that with Fedora 41 in October the gnome
X11 session will no longer be installed
by default only the whon session will be
offered to users because it was already
the default you will still be able to
install that X11 session from the repost
it is not completely removed but it will
not be offered as a fallback anymore
which I think is a good thing it will
take up less disc space even if it's not
insanely heavy and it will make more
people give a real shot to Wayland
instead of dismissing it out of hand
based on 5-year-old preconceived notions
and for people who experience big
problems because that will happen
depending on the hardware you use or
your use case well for people like that
you can still install the older X11
session and have a fully functioning
system it is a good decision Fedora has
always been sort of a test bed for this
kind of stuff Wayland has matured enough
that it can be put as a default in the
hands of users without the fallback net
of X11 especially if you pair it with X
whan Video Bridge which means that
applications that never updated their
electron back end to support whan
properly will still be able to do screen
sharing something like Discord for
example now let's talk about open
platforms and especially how apple is
just getting clobbered by the EU so
first Apple has pursued their malicious
compliance as Epic games tried to open a
developer account in the EU to work on
their own app store which is now allowed
in the EU and apple terminated that
account almost immediately arguing that
epic games just cannot be trusted to
respect Apple's policies and that epic
publicly criticized Apple's dma
compliance Apple even denied epic a dma
consultation that's a meeting in which
they can discuss how best to implement
the things that the new EU regulation
Grant companies if they want to
distribute apps on Apple's platforms now
right after epic complaint about Apple
terminating their account the EU already
said they were looking into the matter
they have requested further explanations
from Apple and they're also evaluating
whether Apple's actions raise doubts
about their compliance with other
European laws especially the platform to
business regulations that prevent sudden
and unexpected account terminations in
the EU unless you can actually provide
clear reasons for that termination which
Apple hasn't done here they just cited a
US Court ruling as the justification
which obviously doesn't work because
this account was for the EU branch of
Epic where us courts just do not have
any jurisdiction and just as I was
recording this epic announced that Apple
reinstated their account probably
because they were afraid the EU would
hit them again with another giant fine
because yes they just got dished out a
1.8 billion e fine in the EU this is all
linked to the European commission
deeming Apple's policies
anti-competitive the policies in
question are related to how Apple
prevents app developers from telling
users about cheaper options to subscribe
to services on iOS notably from music
streaming services since it's Spotify
who brought this case before the EU now
Apple takes a 30% Commission on inapp
subscriptions which means that
Developers tend to increase their prices
on iOS by the same amount but those
developers just do not have the right to
tell their users that they could
subscribe for cheaper using the website
they can't even include a link to their
own website where people could buy these
cheaper subscriptions and companies
can't even send emails to users once
they subscribe to tell them to renew
through the website where they would pay
less so the European commission ruled
that this is unfair trading this is
neither necessary or proportionate to
the protection of Apple's interest and
it negatively affects iOS users by
preventing them from making an informed
decision on how to subscribe so Apple
will have to pay $1.8 billion in fines
for abusing their dominant position and
more importantly they will have to
remove all these barriers meaning that
app developers will now be able to talk
about pricing options in their apps and
Link users to their website to subscribe
if they do not want to pay more for the
exact same G service and this is
wonderful news because it means that the
EU is not just laying some words on
paper and seeing what sticks they're
actually enforcing these policies and
the results are clear apple is now
running around trying to fix all their
malicious compliance because they know
they're going to have to pay a lot of
money if they don't so Props to the EU
they don't always hit the mark but on
this one they've been super reactive and
it's nice to see big tech companies
running a bit scared even though 1.8
billion for apple is probably not that
much now unfortunately it looks like
Nintendo's pressure was too much for the
Yuzu emulator they agreed to settle with
Nintendo and to pay $2.4 million in
Damages and to shut down Yuzu and the
Citra emulator for DS and 3DS the makers
of the emulator will stop Distributing
advertising and promoting Yuzu and the
source code is no longer public they
also turned their whole website over to
Nintendo and they were mandated to
delete any tool used for yuzu's
development and funnily enough all
copies of Yuzu which well they can't do
that because they don't have control
over what people installed on their
computers and like I said Citra got
caught in the crossfire since it was
developed by the same people it will
cease to exist as well both GitHub repos
are already deleted but I am pretty sure
they were forked like crazy right after
Nintendo sued the project I am 99% sure
we will see those two exact emulators
pop back up again under a different name
and probably more stealthily to avoid
attracting Nintendo's attention although
as soon as the companies made aware of
these they will probably sue them just
as well Nintendo has always been a
terrible company about this they just do
not want people to have access to any
fun even if it's done legally I know
they could lose a bit of money from
emulation but honestly compared to the
sales they have it's just destroying
their reputation for mere pennies now
something I missed last month but that's
interesting enough to report on a French
court has issued damages for a GPL
violation something that is rare enough
in the world in general to be mentioned
orange a big Telecom provider in France
apparently Ed some GPL software called
lasso to enable single sign on in a
portal developed for the French govern
government to let the French people
access their public services online but
apparently orange did not pass on their
changes to the community and they didn't
make the source code for their
modifications available either they were
then sued by the makers of the lasso
Library a case that was rejected at
first but was then overturned in the
appeals court thus cementing that
breaching the GPL is first a violation
of contract and second a violation of
copyright at least in front so orange
will have to pay €500,000 in
compensatory damages and €150,000 in
moral damages as well this is not much
for orange as a business but it is still
a win for open- source and free software
licenses and it might also make a lot of
other developers look at how their code
is being used by other big companies at
least in France it sets a nice precedent
that infringing on a copy LIF license of
res software or open source license is
indeed a breach of contract and of
copyright so that's pretty cool okay now
let's finish this with the gaming news
for AMD GPU users Linux kernel
developers decided it was not a good
idea to let people completely undervolt
their AMD gpus like it's currently
possible as it could lead to Hardware
damage so in the kernel 6.7 you will not
be able to set Power limits below the
recommended values AMD provides anymore
they also clearly stated that they would
not revert that change no matter how
many people are complaining because yes
apparently some people are complaining
about that change which is weird because
a driver should never let any user
whether they know what they're doing or
not risk damages to their Hardware just
to grab like 5 minutes more battery life
or to save a few watts of power it makes
no sense if you like undervolting your
GPU and maybe breaking it you're free to
patch your kernel and use that instead
but the default Behavior should never
allow for any hardware damage at all now
I talked about the issues AMD is facing
with adding newer HDMI features to their
open source drivers thanks to the HDMI
Forum refusing to open the spec for the
HDMI standard but apparently Nvidia
users will not be facing the same issues
even when using open- Source nvo drivers
because a lot of the display handling
for these is left to nvidia's Firmware
blobs which are closed Source nvo
developers say that it looks backwards
but that nvidia's insistence to maintain
this proprietary firmware is actually
helping nvo to add support for HDMI
features and yeah we are at that point
where having proprietary firmware is
basically an advantage to implement more
features for a standard that should
obviously be open so yeah it sucks but
at least for NVIDIA users we are safe in
knowing that yes we will be able to
drive 4K monitors at 120 HZ if we want
to and still on Nvidia it seems like the
open-source modules that Nvidia
publishes themselves which are different
from nvo or nvk while those modules are
now performing very nicely on GeForce
gpus with the latest 550 updates these
modules are now certified for
workstations and GeForce gpus so fonx
decided to give them ago compared to the
proprietary NVIDIA drivers they did not
compare that with nvo and nvk just yet
in CSO to they found the performance to
be the exact same at 4K and power
consumption was also virtually identical
same with Dodge righ 2 Formula 1 2022
Hitman 3 shadow of the Tomb Raider and a
bunch of Graphics benchmarks even using
compute benchmarks they found the
differences in performance to be very
minimal so it does look like nvidia's
official open- Source drivers are
actually pretty good now apparently
their architecture and the way they're
coded doesn't make them a good fit to be
included in the mainline branch of the
kernel so you will probably always have
to compile them yourself or install them
from an external repo just like you do
with the proprietary drivers but if you
don't want to wait for nvo and nvk to be
widely available or to be mature and
performant enough but you do want to run
fully open source systems for your
Nvidia gpus well you can now use those
modules they're apparently pretty good
and this is exciting because we will
have two good open-source options to run
Nvidia gpus in the future I guess the
open source official modules will be
better for compute tasks because they
will probably better support stuff like
Cuda and the other will probably be
better in the long run because well they
will be built in the kernel and the Mesa
drivers and since we're on the topic of
Hardware well let's talk about our
sponsor tuxedo computers they make
laptops desktops and kns that ship with
Linux out of the box all the hardware
inside their devices is picked
specifically because it works well with
Linux and they actually contribute
patchers Upstream to fix some of those
issues and if these patches cannot be
accepted in time they have their own
repos you can add to a variety of dis
Ros to get access to all these fixes as
well they have a wide range of devices
for all price points and all needs
whether you need a simple Ultra Book for
office work up to a giant gaming laptop
or workstation they have it all all the
devices are very customizable including
your own keyboard layout on your laptop
your own logo engraved on theid and a
choice of components for most devices
and all laptops can be opened repaired
and upgraded I only use tuxedo computers
these days this channel runs on one of
their laptops and my gaming needs are
served by a toxedo CU which is basically
just a relatively small desktop PC on
which I run Holo ISO so if you need a a
new computer you want to run Linux on it
and you want to support a company that
actually supports Linux well click the
link in the description below and get
yourself a device from tuxedo so thanks
everyone for watching the video I hope
you enjoyed it if you did don't hesitate
to like to subscribe to turn on
notifications to write a comment and if
you really enjoyed the channel there are
plenty of links to support it down in
the description as well if you become a
patreon member or a YouTube member
you'll actually get access to a daily
Linux and open source news show from
Monday to Friday so thanks for watching
and I guess you'll see me in the next
one
