#foliate Linux eBook App Ported to GTK4, Adds New Features

https://149366088.v2.pressablecdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/foliate-3.0-406x232.jpg
Foliate is one of the best ebook readers for Linux and it’s just released a major update. The app has been “rewritten from scratch with the latest platform libraries, GTK4 and Adwaita, with refreshed interface and improved performance,” says the developer. As well as being ported to GTK4, Foliate 3.0 also now uses its own library for parsing and rendering ePubs, no longer relying on #epub.js or KindleUnpack. This has the benefit of “greatly reducing startup time and memory usage” since entire files are no longer loaded into memory, in full. While the adage goes that one should never judge a book by its […] This post, Foliate Linux eBook App Ported to GTK4, Adds New Features is from OMG! Ubuntu. Do not reproduce elsewhere without (...)

A new version of OBS Studio, version 30.0, has been released with a number of new features and improvements. OBS Studio is free, open-source live streaming and screen recording software that is popular with gamers, streamers, and even educators and businesses due to its powerful feature set, customisation options, and easy-to-use interface. For Linux users, OBS Studio 30 is big update as it supports Intel QSV (Quick Sync Video) H264, HEVC, and AV1 on Linux.

#amazon Making its Own Linux-Based OS to Replace Android

https://149366088.v2.pressablecdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/amazon-cloud-on-orange-background-406x232.jpeg
Amazon is reportedly working on its own Linux-based OS to replace Android on its Fire TVs, smart displays, and other non-tablet devices. —What’s that? This isn’t Ubuntu related? Oh I know that — but I’m excited! Word of Amazon’s new OS, which is being developed under the codename ‘Vega’ (causing me to remember the worst Android tablet I ever owned) comes by way of Lowpass‘ journalist Janko Roettgers. He says he’s spoken to sources who’ve confirmed Amazon is building its own iOS/Android competitor, and has tasked ‘hundreds of people’ in its Amazon Device OS group with building it.

Heard of the Sovereign Tech Fund? I hadn’t, but the GNOME project has bagged itself a whopping €1 million investment from them. GNOME plans to use the cash to “modernize the platform, improve tooling and accessibility, and support features that are in the public interest”, adding that the following projects and initiatives will benefit directly during 2024: Whether you’ve been using Linux for a fresh minute or a veritable eon you’ll know GNOME is a core pillar in the FOSS movement.

  How can you “give” to the Gnome project... ? It’s not an entity, it’s an open source free software not very centralized.
  The donation was to someone or something. A foundation, a company, another found.

Arriving precisely on schedule is the first alpha release of #KDE_Plasma_6.0, and many of its related technologies. Development on Plasma 6, the next-gen edition of the popular Qt-based desktop environment, has been underway for a while. We’ve had teases, updates, and presentations, but now we have a tangible release to go hands on with. It’s easy to think of GNOME as the desktop environment most synonymous with desktop Linux distros given the biggest ones ship it (Ubuntu, included). But KDE Plasma is just as popular (not to mention capable). Heck, it even ships on Valve’s hugely popular portable […] This post, KDE Plasma 6.0 Alpha Released, Plus KDE Frameworks & KDE Gear is from OMG! Ubuntu. Do not reproduce elsewhere without (...)

I don’t use the Zoom Linux app (or Zoom in general) but I know many of you do, so you’ll pleased to hear the Zoom Deb installer now works in Ubuntu 23.10. The latest hot-fix release resolves a dependency issue with the deb installer that caused Zoom to not install on Ubuntu 23.10. The Zoom deb required the libegl1-mesa and libgl1-mesa-glx packages but these are available in 23.10.

https://149366088.v2.pressablecdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/musicpod-logo-406x232.jpg
MusicPod, an all-in-one music, radio and podcast player for Linux created in #flutter, has matured at a clip since I first looked at it in the spring. The app was already in pretty good form then, able to play local audio files, browse and manage a audio library, create playlists, browse, download, subscribe, and listen to podcasts, search for and stream internet radio stations, and pin things to the sidebar. It can still do all of that plus a bit more, such as play video podcasts, notify you when a new episode of a subscribed podcast is released, and give […] This post, MusicPod, the All-In-One Linux Music App, Has Improved is from OMG!

The Fedora Project has released Fedora Workstation 39, the latest version of its flagship desktop Linux operating system. Fedora Workstation 39 brings a number of new features and improvements, including an updated desktop experience with GNOME 45, better hardware support and performance with the Linux 6.5 kernel, and some smaller changes to finesse the overall experience. Many of the new features in Fedora 39 will be familiar to those using Ubuntu 23.10, which also offers GNOME 45 and Linux 6.5. As you’d expect, Fedora 39 offers a best-in-class GNOME 45 experience, shipping things more or less as upstream intended.

Impression (Linux Image Writer) Now Supports In-App ISO Downloads

Impression is a excellent image writing tool for Linux desktops, and with its latest release it’s become even more useful. How so? By making it easy to download ISO images for a selection of Linux distros directly within the app: You can still download an ISO from elsewhere and use Impression to flash it to a USB, SD card, etc – that’s not changed. But there is a wild connivence factor in being able to open this image writer and, much like the excellent Raspberry Pi Imager tool, pick an ISO to download directly.

A new version of GSConnect, the GNOME Shell extension that integrates with KDE Connect, is now available — and it supports GNOME 45. GSConnect bridges the gap between GNOME Shell and an #Android device with the KDE Connect Android app installed to streamline file transfers between Android and Linux (and vice versa), mirror notifications, send and receive SMS, provide volume and media controls, and more. There aren’t any new features or capabilities in GSConnect v56 but there are a stack of worthwhile improvements and finesse to the extension’s pre-existing (and pretty extensive) feature set: You can see the official release […] This post, GSConnect Adds Support for GNOME 45 is from OMG!

System Cleaner #BleachBit Sees First Release in 2 Years

BleachBit, the popular free system cleaner, has just released a major update — its first since 2021. For those unfamiliar with it, BleachBit is an open-source system cleaner available for both Windows and Linux, written in Python and GTK. Similar to other applications of its kind, BleachBit helps free up disk space by removing cache, cookies, and other temporary files. Additionally, it can securely delete files, wipe unallocated disk space, and even vacuum Firefox’s SQLite database to (potentially) improve its performance. On Linux, BleachBit is able to do a fair bit of software cleanup, including tidying up after Google Chrome […] This post, System Cleaner BleachBit Sees First Release in 2 Years is from OMG! Ubuntu.

Keeping an eye on current weather conditions is something a lot of us do, and there are ample ways to get real-time weather information on the Ubuntu desktop. The GNOME Weather desktop app (available in the Ubuntu repos) is a great tool as not only can you open the app to see weather information for any location you want, but it integrates a 4-day weather forest in the notification shade (calendar applet? Never sure what to call it).

Available in a variety of sizes, the charcoal grey shirt carries a custom design featuring a minotaur (of course) in classic dress looking très mantic. An ancient-looking scroll bears the version number in Roman numerals near the neckline, and a similar scroll sits at the bottom to convey the codename.

NVIDIA has released a new driver for Linux that adds support for the Night Light feature in GNOME. Night Light is a feature that reduces the amount of blue light emitted from your display. This, studies show, can help to improve sleep quality, and reduce eye fatigue. Most Linux distributions that ship GNOME (including Ubuntu) support the feature, but it seems not all #graphics_drivers do. Or did, I should say.

Check out Decibels, a novel new audio player for Linux written in Typescript and GTK4/libadwaita. While Decibels can play music files, it is not designed for that purpose. It is more of a non-music, multi-purpose audio player for playing single files in, rather than managing a library of recordings, handling playlists, or displaying tags, metadata, album artwork, and other fluff.
