News
Dropbox sync will work only on EXT4 (unencrypted only, Linux), NTFS (Windows), APFS and HFS+ (both Mac OS).
pCloud might be a good alternative to Dropbox. It’s hosted in Switzerland and cheaper.
Rclone is also an option, but more of a DIY as you’d need to provide the backend storage.
Most of us use the default file system for their distro, so many will be able to keep using Dropbox.
Nextcloud will be big in Japan, as NEC are gonna make routers with Nextcloud pre-installed. Nextcloud 14 to be released in September is going to feature video authentication for shared files and lots of other new features.
Gaming
Play Windows Steam Games on Linux with Proton, a fork of the Wine project. This could be a game changer for desktop Linux adoption, especially as some games, GTA V for example, show better max fps on Proton than on Windows. Linux to the masses!
Amazing social track - it was inspiring and heart warming to meet so many people so passionate about Linux and free culture.
How do you make ‘other’ people interesting in Linux? Make it better than other OS, installed out of the box, improve an old PC with it… Linux is for everyone! (Not just you CLI geeks ;-))
We moan a bit about other, not so good OSes (with love, of course). Updates are just so much better on Linux.
Oggcamp rules, even if it’s not humanly possible to see all the talks. Go join all the great people in 2019 to see the best of the Linux and open culture community!
Oggcamp is also free as in beer (and the beer in the UK is cheap).
