This is not a drill, I repeat this is not a drill. If you haven't been following the project, even if you're not a Apple fan, the quality of their writeups is great and provide some really interesting technical insights.

For those that haven't heard of Asahi Linux: Asahi Linux is a project and community with the goal of porting Linux to Apple Silicon Macs, starting with the 2020 M1 Mac Mini, MacBook Air, and MacBook Pro. It's also worth highlighting Asahi Linux published an August progress report. For more information, check out the release announcement. Debian 11 is now running the 5.10 LTS kernel compared to the previous release, Buster, which ran 4.19. An incredible amount of work has gone into this release too with over 11,294 new packages and a reduction of over 9,519 packages. Similarly, just over 2 years in the making, and just before it's 28th birthday, Debian 11 AKA Bullseye was released.

While I've not tried it myself, the update does look impressive and I admire the attention to detail with their Pantheon desktop environment and the work going into their ecosystem. Promoting itself as a 'thoughtful, capable, and ethical' replacement to macOS and Windows, eOS places an emphasis on UX. I've no doubt I've missed some, so don't come for me, but the two that I'm aware of are ElementaryOS & Debian.Īlmost 2 years in the making, elementaryOS's 6.0 release AKA Odin is the biggest update for the team yet. While we're on the topic Linux and its distributions, let's touch briefly on a couple of big distro updates that caught my eye this month.

I'm doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won't be big and professional like gnu) for 386(486) AT clones. I know you've probably all seen this a thousand times, but it was on August 25th 1991 that Linus Torvalds sent a message announcing his 'hobby' to the comp.os.minix group (Minix is another Unix-like OS ). Later this month, the 25th of August marked the 30th birthday of Linux itself. The 16th of August marked Debian's 28th Birthday, back in 1993 founder and undergraduate Ian Murdock announced 'the Debian Linux release' and shortly after released the Debian Linux Manifesto where he called for the creation of a distribution to be maintained openly, in the spirit of Linux and GNU.

Caveat of course being unfortunately I have to do other lame things like eat and sleep, so feel free to let me know if I've missed anything cool! Happy Birthdays!įirst order of business: we have some birthdays to celebrate, and some big ones at that! In the end, Widelands will be extensible, so that you can create your own tribe with their own set of buildings, create new worlds to play in, and even create new types of worlds (who says you can't build a settlement on the moon?).Alright, here we go again! Another month, same deal: I've picked out some highlights that I think are interesting and worth sharing from the last month or so in the Linux space. Widelands also offers an Artificial Intelligence to challenge you. Widelands offers single-player mode with different campaigns the campaigns all tell stories of tribes and their struggle in the Widelands universe! However, settling really starts when you unite with friends over the Internet or LAN to build up new empires together - or to crush each other in the dusts of war. You're really a ruler: You delegate in times of war and in times of peace! Similarly, whenever you want to attack an enemy, just place an order to attack one of their barracks, and your soldiers will march to fight. There is no need to tell every single one of your subjects what to do - that would be impossible, because there can be thousands of them! Instead, all you need to do is order them to build a building somewhere, and the builders will come. It is your job to lay out the roads as efficiently as possible.Īnother refreshing aspect of the game is the way you command your clan. This is done by carriers, and those carriers always walk along the roads. For example, a system of roads plays a central role in your economy: all the goods that are harvested and processed by the tribe must be transported from one building to the next. Still, it is easy to get started through playable tutorials. The game was inspired by Settlers II™ (© Bluebyte) but has significantly more variety and depth to it. Widelands is a free, open source real-time strategy game with singleplayer campaigns and a multiplayer mode.
