Transcripts
and to thing that my friends always ask
me if there's enough to talk about in
the Linux and open source World well
yeah because this week we've got Fedora
dropping X11 out of the default install
for Fedora 41 we've got the big part of
a lawsuit against GitHub co-pilot being
dismissed by a judge in California and
we also have some more news about Cosmic
we've got gnome losing the gnome
foundation's director Holly million who
leaves after less than a year and a
bunch of other things including this
segue to our sponsor this video is
sponsored by proton you probably know
about them they make an all-in-one Suite
of privacy Focus tools for your email
online storage calendars contacts VPN
and passwords everything is end to
endend and zero access encrypted and it
is designed to make sure that your data
stays yours and proton just launched a
brand new tool for that entire online
suite and that's proton docs if you've
ever used Google Docs you will be right
at home here it is your fully encrypted
collaborative online word processor you
can edit a document with other people in
real time you can gather feedback thanks
to comments and discussions you can
share these documents securely with full
access control and the best thing is
it's part of your proton account even a
free account and it's accessible
straight from Proton Drive as always you
can just click the link in the
description below to get started with
proton create your account and start
moving your life towards a more privacy
respectful solution so after gnome
announced that they could now be built
without X11 dependencies it was
inevitable Fedora 41 will ship with
Wayland only the install media will not
contain X11 support for Gnome meaning
the default install will be whand only
for now X11 support remains in the
repost you will still be able to install
it if you are experiencing issues with
whand these issues should be lessened
significantly because well you now have
explicit sync support in Gnome and the
latest NVIDIA drivers but there could be
some compatibility problems here and
there for various applications so people
who need X11 can still get it and of
course people who are upgrading from
Fedora 40 will keep their XL session
installed it will not be removed in the
process obviously at some point this
won't be possible in Fedora anymore it
will be completely impossible to use X11
but you probably have two or three
versions still uh before that happens
personally I am all for this deprecation
process Fedora has always been the place
to do this kind of stuff and the more
people use whan by default the more bug
reports are going to flow in and the
better whan we'll get with more users
and more more things being fixed and of
course you will always have plenty of
other distributions who keep supporting
X11 for probably a decade so yeah it's
not really harming anyone's experience
here now on The Gnome side of things it
looks like holy Millions tenure as the
executive director of The Gnome
Foundation won't have been a very long
one totaling 10 months the foundation
announced that she would leave with
Richard leow becoming interim director
for the time being Holly will leave on
the 31st of July and she says she's
really proud of what she's been able to
accomplish which for such a short time
seems to be quite a lot she made sure
that the foundation has a nice plan for
the future she made sure that the books
are Balan that the foundation is not
hemorrhaging cash anymore and she found
a bunch of potential funding Avenues as
well she will apparently leave to pursue
a PhD in Psychology and running her own
private practice and judging from the
foundation's communicate there doesn't
seem to be a further reason than that
the new director Richard L hour
apparently has a lot of experience in
open source as a contributor and at a
few more leadership positions as well
the foundation will start looking for a
permanent executive director and they
will announce their choice after guadec
and I am 100% certain that some people
in the Linux or open source Community
will spend that as some kind of drama as
it was inevitable she wasn't qualified
but from where I stand holly leaves the
gnome foundation in a better place than
what she found it on so I think she did
a good job and hopefully the G
Foundation manages to find a new
director that can keep writing the ship
for maybe a bit longer this time now we
also have some news about Cosmic they
apparently only have 20 issues to
resolve before the alpha is out so it is
pretty damn close they have a few more
features to share as well notably
styling inactive windows with specific
colors so it is more obvious what is
currently in focus and what isn't they
also have a settings page to configure
keyboard shortcuts something plenty of
people will be very happy about and they
added an ALT tab or super tab window
switching feature as well display
mirroring is Now supported the panel now
has an overflow section when there are
too many applications or applets in
there they fixed a lot of bugs related
to gaming and a few performance issues
as well and their compositor is now
multi-threaded so it should perform
better with multi monitor setups and
when using High refresh rates and they
also apparently have a bunch of
thirdparty contributions lending in
Cosmic which bodess well for the future
of this desktop if there are already
people contributing improving it and
creating thirdparty applications even
before Cosmic is out I think it's a good
sign I will start toying with Cosmic
before the alpha is out just to like
maybe prepare the video I'm going to
make about it of course it won't be a
full review because it is an alpha they
are going to be bugs I will only judge
the features that are available and how
well I think they measure up compared to
other desktops now speaking of desktops
gnom 47 has a lot of stuff coming on top
of accent colors and a bunch of things I
already discussed in previous episodes
first the default font will very likely
be replaced
by inter gnome has been using the contel
font for about 14 years although some
dros already replaced it like obuntu for
example the issue is counter L is
unmaintained which for a font is more
problematic than you'd think because it
means potential problems in different
languages can be reported and they just
won't be fixed inter on the other hand
is maintained and already used in
elementaryos and other projects it's
also completely open source so that nice
and also it's the font I've been using
in Gnome and KDE for I think the past
four years it's pretty nice so the
change is undergoing testing and it
might not be voted on in the end if
issues arise they are also experimenting
with the font size they should use with
inter gnome 47 will also have some HDR
related improvements they already have
an experimental HDR property that lets
you test a few modes but as far as I
know this hasn't really evolved since
gnome 44 in Gnome 47 they have merged a
7-month old merge request which lets
mutter The Gnome compositor just display
HDR and SDR content side by side on top
of that they have completed the
implementation of Nautilus as the file
Chooser the implementation of the global
keyboard shortcuts feature is moving
along nicely with a first draft
implementation for lib portal the
notification portal spec is being
implemented as we speak with a first
merge request close to completion and
there's a proposal to have a common
interface for platform libraries like
advita or Granite from Elementary OS so
any desktop could plug into gtk with
their own widget library that is a
pretty big set of changes for Gnome 47
and also a pretty big set of changes
lined up for the future versions as well
this is not going to be like gnome 45 or
46 where there were just very minor
features this one is going to be big and
of course I'll cover it in a video I
think it will be in September when it
releases now we have some news in the
ongoing lawsuits against AI tools at
least in the US GitHub and Microsoft had
been sued over GitHub co-pilot and its
use of Open Source Code to train the
assistant a judge in San Francisco
dismissed part of this class action
lawsuit because the plaintiffs
Apparently failed to establish that
Microsoft unjustly enriched themselves
by by using their code and thus these
developers are not eligible for damages
on that specific basis but there's
another part that will be allowed to
proceed the claim that GitHub co-pilot
breaches The open- Source licenses of
the code it used which might in the end
be the more important part this can now
go to court meaning that there is a
chance that AI tools might have to
follow attribution and Licensing rights
even for just using material to train
the AI this could potentially result in
all the codes generated by these tools
to be made open source under a license
or another or maybe people who use codes
generated using copilot would have to
include in their project a link to an
insanely long list of acknowledgements
to mention everyone whose code copilot
used to train itself none of this would
be very practical though and I for one
I'm really glad that this part of the
lawsuit wasn't just dismissed out of
hand because we need to know if an AI
using publicly available material has
the right to do so to train itself or if
it has to follow and respect all the
licenses attached to this content this
is a very important part of whether AI
can keep existing as it is or needs to
start paying people for their content so
I hope this goes to court I hope this is
a ruling in favor of creators and not AI
developers but we'll see I don't know I
don't make the rules now as the EU
forced Apple to open an iOS to third
party stores it looks like they're not
going down without a fight epic games
have been trying to put their App Store
on iOS for a while now but it looks like
apple found some weird ways to reject
the app the latest being because the
install button on the epic games store
was too similar to the one from the
Apple store which well how many ways are
there to create a flat colored button
with the install text written on it
really apart from changing the color
now the inapp purchases button was also
apparently too similar fortunately after
epic complained publicly Apple decided
to let the store pass anyway probably
because they're already Under Fire from
the EU for the various limitations and
terms of services for the apps that want
to escape the App Store with a fee
structure that is completely insane they
probably decided it wasn't worth
fighting something that was going to
happen anyway and then Tim Sweeney the
CEO of game said that Apple told them
that this approval of their epic store
was only temporary and that they would
still have to change these buttons in
their next update and if you've watched
the channel for a while you know I'm not
a big fan of epic games because while
they profess being on the side of the
customer they apply restrictions to
customer Choice by signing exclusivity
deals which is exactly the kind of stuff
that they say is bad when it comes from
other actors so they're pretty
hypocritical about all of this but Apple
really needs to stop with this kind of
trying to grasp at the last draws of
their control it doesn't work they've
lost this battle unless epic games
absolutely copies the entire design of
an app listing of the app store which
yes would be misleading and would not be
a good thing it's an install button let
people make an install button that looks
like what your platform professes and
your platform guidelines you've lost the
battle Apple stop it it's done okay
let's finish this with the gaming news
first dxvk got a new update version 2.4
and it now brings in support for
directex 8 this means that this
translation layer now handles DirectX 8
9 10 and 11 games with directex 12 games
being handled by vkd3d or vkd3d proton
the net benefit is that you're Now using
Vulcan to render these games instead of
using the usual wine d3d back end which
as far as I know used open GL and had
way worse compatibility and performance
the xvk now includes the ability to
automatically cap A Game's fps to the
refresh rate of your display to make
sure that things are rendered smoothly
and they also improved dxvk native which
is a port of dxvk that lets developers
use it without using wine so they can
Port the games to Linux more easily
without having to rewrite for example
the DirectX rendering backend they just
have to compile the executable for Linux
and they can keep using the direct text
back end because dxvk will translate it
properly there are also some
improvements to memory usage Improvement
to AMD GPU support and some game
specific fixes notably for Guild Wars 2
prototype Star Citizen and more so
basically it's much better performance
for older DirectX 8 titles but it's also
better performance for relatively recent
games because most games released today
still kind of have a DirectX 11 back end
because not every GP supports directx12
fully even now we also have a new
version of bottles the app that lets you
automatically create prefixes for wine
and running Windows programs on Linux in
this version they added support for the
latest version of dxvk that I just
talked about they also improve
performance of the entire app through
better handling of the virtual C driv
that bottles creates for each program
and you will also get an option to skip
the check some verification process if
you want to install things faster at the
expense of security menu entries for
programs installed with bottles should
also only appear when the executable is
actually available which should help
with cleaning up when you're removing
programs to avoid having leftover
launchers that will clutter your menu
and don't have anything to launch and
valve is also refining their game
recording feature in the latest Steam
beta the clip editing feature has been
improved to make it easier to play
something back to add markers to the
timeline and to decide where the clip
begins and where it ends you will also
be able to save a specific frame of a
clip as a steam screenshot and you will
now get a warning if game recording was
turned off to prioritize broadcasting
the minimum background recording time
has also been increased to 15 minutes
this feature is apparently still not
Hardware accelerated when using an
Nvidia GPU which probably makes the
solution less appealing than using OBS
for NVIDIA users but it is shaping up
nicely for everyone else if you had
given me this feature 3 years ago back
when I tried running a Linux gaming
channel I would have been very very
happy now granted this channel is now
dead and no one ever really watched it
but I would have loved having access to
that kind of stuff back in the day just
like you love having access to devices
from our sponsor tuxedo computers they
make devices that run with Linux out of
the box from laptops to workstations to
gaming stuff to small Foam Factory
computers they have everything all the
devices have plenty of options for the
hardware for the keyboard layout for the
logo on the lid of your computer and
they ship to most countries in the world
all their stuff obviously is highly
compatible with Linux because that's
kind of the point and while you can pick
from a selection of popular dis Ros you
can also just install any dis you like
and they even have repost to include
certain patchers that might not have
been accepted Upstream just yet I only
use tuxedo computers these days I run
this channel on one of their laptops I
do all my gaming on one of their
desktops they're really really good so
click the link in the description below
if you want to know what they have to
offer and if you want to give them a
shot okay 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 and
if you really enjoy the channel you can
get plenty of perks by supporting it
starting at €1 a month and all the links
are in the description just as well so
thanks for watching and I guess you'll
see me in the next one bye
