authed, to linux in PipeWire 1.0 "El Presidente" Officially Released, This Is What's New

This piece of software seems so old and stable and it just reached V1.0… it’s just a number but it feels odd

Blackmist, to linux in LibreOffice 7.6.3 Office Suite Is Out Now with More Than 110 Bug Fixes

I’m still on 4.1

Any major features since then, or mostly bloat?

Turbo,

I’m using flatpack version which is much more up to date.

I think the big thing is compatibility with current Microsoft office versions.

So there is benefit from being on a newer version unless you’re only using Libre and not sending each other people who are opening it in Microsoft office versions.

Please tell me it fixes scaling issues on Wayland.

KISSmyOS,

It does.

piranhaphish,

I should have been more specific. I was hoping this fixes an issue with LO not scaling correctly when using multiple screens with different scaling factors. Unfortunately this is still an issue.

KISSmyOS,

I also should have been more specific. You wrote “Please tell me it fixes scaling issues on Wayland” so I did.
I have no idea what issues got fixed.

tun, to linux in Open Source NVIDIA Vulkan Driver NVK Reaches Vulkan 1.0 Conformance

I have been reading news about NVK release 1.0

Only this time I see NVK mentioned as open source Nvidia driver.

I wonder if the open source driver will ever be able to replicate quite advanced features such as frame generation.

DLSS is easy enough - make the driver have a generic hook compatible with the Windows DLL, which Proton already can use.

But frame generation? It actually requires the driver to intercept quite a lot of calls from the game engine.

C126, to linux in Open Source NVIDIA Vulkan Driver NVK Reaches Vulkan 1.0 Conformance

What does this mean for the average user?

Specialpatrol,

A step toward having an nvidia driver that comes with your open source Linux distro

C126,

I meant, how is it different than what I had before? What is vulkan 1.0?

Specialpatrol,

Some computer games and other graphics intensive apps are using vulkan, and they will now work with an nvidia card without needing to go get nvidias proprietary driver, which is often buggy due to not being properly tested with your desktop and system in general.

Firefox now supports a setting (in Preferences → Privacy & Security) to enable Global Privacy Control. With this opt-in feature, Firefox informs the websites that the user doesn’t want their data to be shared or sold.

This sounds like Do Not Track revisited. The only difference that I can find (only skimmed the website) is, that there seems to be some legal support for this in the state of California.

Now you can exercise your legal privacy rights in one step via Global Privacy Control (GPC), required under the California Consumer Protection Act (CCPA).

I wonder:

  1. How does this differ from DNT?
  2. Does this this have any real chance to take off? From what I’ve heard, DNT has been rather counterproductive as it can be used to fingerprint users.
