Looking back at Fedora Workstation so far

Well I thought as we putting the finishing touches on Fedora Workstation 27 I should try to look back at everything we have achieved since Fedora Workstation was launched with Fedora 21.

Manipulating Maintainers

There’s an old “ha ha, only serious” joke. If you go to a Linux forum and ask for help fixing your WiFi driver, everyone will ignore you. If, instead, you say “Linux sucks, you can’t even get a f*&$ing WiFi driver working!” thousands of people will solve the problem for you.

Why Mark Shuttleworth Dumped Ubuntu Unity Linux Desktop

“What you’ll see at some stage soon is that we have broken even on all the pieces that we do commercially without Unity,” Shuttleworth said. “At some stage after that, we will take a round of investment which will be a growth round and that will be aimed at helping us to become a public company in due course.”

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you 18.04 LTS, the Bionic Beaver.

High Performance Remote Linux Desktop

I’ve recently setup two remote desktop systems running Ubuntu 17.10. One I call Orbital, up in the cloud, and one I call sub.orbital, which is a local box on the studio LAN.

I can remote into both of these using x2go, which rides on top of SSH.

X2Go

x2go uses the nx library that was developed by NoMachine. All of the latency intensive parts of X forwarding was worked around by creating a nx proxy on each side of the network connection and sending compressed updates between the two proxies.

Basic features of X2Go

• Graphical Remote Desktop that works well over both low bandwidth and high bandwidth connections
• The ability to disconnect and reconnect to a session, even from another client
• Support for sound
• Support for as many simultaneous users as the computer’s resources will support (NX3 free edition limited you to 2.)
• Traffic is securely tunneled over SSH
• File Sharing from client to server
• Printer Sharing from client to server
• Easily select from multiple desktop environments (e.g., MATE, GNOME, KDE)
• Remote support possible via Desktop Sharing
• The ability to access single applications by specifying the name of the desired executable in the client configuration or selecting one of the pre-defined common applications

How to install X2Go

Ubuntu PC maker System76 abandons Flash, says it’s too dangerous | Ars Technica

Ubuntu PC maker System76 will stop installing Adobe Flash on its laptops and desktops, saying the software is too dangerous and is no longer necessary.”In 2007 System76 was granted a license from Adobe to pre-install Flash on all our laptops and desktops,” the company said in a blog post yesterday. “In terms of making a great first impression with our customers, especially those new to Ubuntu, this was an important detail.”

FSF and SFC work with Canonical on an “intellectual property” policy update [LWN.net]

The Free Software Foundation (FSF) and Software Freedom Conservancy (SFC) have both put out statements about a change to the Canonical, Ltd. “intellectual property” policy that was negotiated over the last two years (FSF statement and SFC statement). Effectively, Canonical has added a “trump clause” that clarifies that the licenses of the individual packages override the Canonical policy when there is a conflict. T
