Sneak Peek: Taking a Spin with Enhanced Linux VMs

Ubuntu 18.04 shipping with the 4.15 linux kernel (which already carries the hv_sock bits), we won’t need to apply the linux-azure kernel. The version of XRDP that ships as available in 18.04 is already compiled with hv_sock feature turned on, so there’s no more need to build xrdp/xorgxrdp—a simple “apt install” will bring in all the feature goodness!

Good-bye JEE, hello Jakarta EE

Juno Progress for January & February

So far, there are a little over 350 closed issue reports associated with the first Juno beta. Here are some highlights of the things you’ll see in the next version of elementary OS:

I was delighted to see that you guys covered gotty in the last episode of LAS. I just recently (about a week ago) started experimenting with gotty as a bridge between my telnet/SSH BBS and the web, and it’s been a pretty sweet experience so far.
