3 easy Linux alternatives for Windows XP refugees who don't want a new PC
2014-03-14 15:19:13| InfoWorld: Top News
Windows XP's refugees have two choices on April 8, when Microsoft stops supporting the decade-old operating system (for consumers, anyway). This is assuming a new PC with a new operating system (even Windows 7) is, for whatever reason, out of the question.
Valve open-sources its DirectX to OpenGL translation software: Here come the SteamOS and Linux games?
2014-03-11 17:21:21| Extremetech
Valve has made Dota 2's Direct3D to OpenGL translation layer open source. This is the piece of code that allows Valve to take a standard DirectX Windows game that uses the Source engine (Dota 2, Team Fortress, Portal), and easily bring it over to Mac OS X or Linux/SteamOS. The code, with some tweaks, could also be made to work with other DirectX-based game engines as well. By open-sourcing this code, Valve is clearly encouraging developers to release OS X -- and more importantly, SteamOS -- ports of their Windows games.

Well it was a wild week here in Linux land, and not just because of the asteroid that came hurtling by Earth at heart-lurching proximity. Pay no attention to the 100-foot-wide ball of rock you might notice streaking through the sky closer than the Moon! *Cough*. Thank goodness for tequila. Linux fans, however, had bigger -- or rather, smaller -- things to focus on last week. Namely? Bugs.

Makulu Makeover May Give Your Linux Life a Lift
2014-03-10 16:49:17| TechNewsWorld
MakuluLinux was already a solidly performing distro, but the latest version, released last month, takes Makulu to the next level of usability and maturity. Earlier versions offered a choice of Xfce, KDE and Enlightenment 17 desktops. So far, only the Xfce version is available in MakuluLinux 5. However, the tweaking Makulu developer Jacque Raymer built into this upgrade makes up for any loss.
