• The Witcher 2 Just Made A Bunch Of Linux Gamers Very, Very Angry

eON is a middle ground idea between what WINE does, and a native port. It is tuned and customised to each game we port — we do not simply slap a Windows binary into it and ship the game. For example, we often customise the D3D9->GL code path in various ways to cater for the title. Shaders are often rewritten to native GLSL, etc.

• GamingOnLinux – Why We Shouldn\’t Accept Bad Linux Ports

_The problem is if we keep accepting ports at a sub-par quality then Linux will gain a reputation for having low quality games. Think about that big picture for a moment, seriously.

New Show: Tech Talk Today (Mon – Thur)

9am Pacific / 12pm Eastern / 7pm GMT

• A daily, low key tech talk show. Covering the entire industry.

• A rotating cast of friends will join me, sometimes I’ll be solo.

• A unique perspective and insights, from outside the valley bubble. Outside the grasp of Google or Apple influence. A perspective from the open source community considering the important topics of the day.

• The state of technology coverage has bothered me for a long time, and specifically as many LUP listeners know the coverage of the Linux and open source communities.

• The show will try and be a daily taste maker of interesting topics and discussion.

• The daily format will allow for a large range of topics, and active live participation via Mumble, etc for talk back.

• Could be a little on the risky side, very blunt and honest opinions. Calling it like we see it.

• Patreon funded, with some limited sponsor opportunities available.

• Willing to consider discounted community spots.

• The Patreon fund is basically a fund JB’s growth campaign, and you get a daily show as a thank you.

• The revenue raised via Tech Talk Today’s Patreon funding will finance studio upgrades from facilities, to equipment, and even living conditions.

• Long term plans include funding a road show, and other big things we could only pull off with a stable platform of funding for us to stand on.

• This is a grand experiment. I’ve wanted to do a daily show again for a while, but its also some of the hardest workout there. It’s a lifestyle. Can I keep it up? Can we fund future JB growth? I’m not sure, but I am damn excited to find out!

• Che Dean:

\”I use OpenShot as my main editor, the only parts that really get to me are when I need to add \” Titles\” and \”Credits\”. It just feels a bit overly complex. Are there plans to overhaul this in the UI while at the same time keeping the editing tracks as they are?\”

• Linda Dean:

Will the updates include the ability to easily insert a photo into a title? I love the advanced editor, but it can be very complicated to the uninitiated.
