To the Devs who made Kolour Paint, thank you so much

I'm a long time Linux user who just transitioned my final system off Windows and onto Linux (main Work machine is Ubuntu, personal rig is Fedora, pile of other systems do random things).

I found myself needing to edit a diagram for a Train chat...
How would one do that without MS Paint I wondered?

Fear not, KolourPaint to the rescue, it was so intuitive and simple.
Yes it's pretty basic but I didn't need compel (see below).

I just needed a red line and some text.

So to the KolourPaint Dev's, thank you for pushing a awesome program that just works & updating it.

Phoronix New AMD Linux Patches Expose Gamma 2.4 + Gamma 2.6 Curves In addition to AMD engineers being busy rolling out HDMI 2.1 for their open-source Linux driver at long last, another notable display-related improvement on the way to their AMDGPU kernel graphics driver is exposing the Gamma 2.4 and Gamma 2.6 curves support.

Lack of reviews of Linux experiences from non-creators/non-gamers

I’ve been getting deep into trying to revive my old 2017 12” Retina MacBook by slapping Linux on it. It’s been a lot of fun, but ultimately doomed because the battery is garbage and not worth replacing.

I’m not new to Linux, and I am technically capable, but it’s been over a decade since I last used it. I’m also not an engineer, nor a content creator, nor a gamer.

What I’m trying to determine for myself is if I want to invest in a real, more modern laptop to see if I could really make Linux my personal daily driver. Honestly, it’s mainly just out of curiosity and interest - no other compelling reason. (My current MacBook Pro is fine, but it’s getting older and since it’s M2, only supports one distro with somewhat limited support.)

But every single review on YouTube and on most review sites/blogs is 90% dominated by choosing a distro then barely mentioning anything other than gaming and video editing.

I get it, the Venn diagram of people who produce “trying Linux” content and people who are PC gamers + content creators is probably just a circle. But it really tells me absolutely nothing about how good you’ve found the alternatives to Excel to be, especially if you’re syncing via OneDrive. Or how the open source mail clients work for you vs Apple Mail or Outlook.

And it’s almost always from the perspective of coming from Windows. It’s been longer since I’ve run Windows than Linux. What I want to know is how you’ve found the spotlight alternatives, or Airdrop alternatives. Yes, I could research what all these alternatives are, but I like to watch/read reviews from people who have actually experienced the switch and tried.

Anyway, just a rant as I’m trying to decide whether or not to buy a new laptop.

webrtcforthestreamer.com - site/video I made on how WHIP makes streaming more connected, easier to self-host and private

I work on WHIP in OBS and an open source project Broadcast Box0. I made this site/video to talk about the reasons why.

This isn't directly Linux related so happy to pull the post if it is spammy. I was hoping people would enjoy/see the value in this stuff though and want to talk about it!

Stuff like P2P out of OBS it would make it so much easier for people to do more interesting streams. I hope this site can convince more people to check this stuff out. If you are curious or have feedback I would love to hear.

Does Intel VMD have any benefits on Linux or VMs?

I didn't find any official information on Intel VMD other than this doc page, which says "Intel® Volume Management (Intel® VMD) Direct Assign is a new HCI storage architecture to bypass hypervisor resources, delivering NVMe performance and Intel VMD functionality directly to the Virtual Machines". So does it improve performance in VMs? I found discussions sayings its mainly for Optane drives and RAID.

Realistic-Linux-Game

I'm working on a concept for a narrative Linux game where players learn real Linux skills by solving problems, investigating incidents, and interacting with realistic systems.

The goal is not to create another Hollywood-style hacking game where everything is solved with a single button press.

Instead, the game would focus on things Linux users actually encounter:

navigating file systems
 reading logs
managing services
 troubleshooting network issues
working with permissions
 SSH access to remote systems
containers and automation
 investigating strange system behavior

One of the main design goals is accessibility.

The game is not intended only for Linux professionals. Complete beginners should be able to start with zero Linux experience and gradually learn real concepts through gameplay, documentation, and exploration.

Experienced users should recognize authentic tools, workflows, and problems.

Beginners should finish the game feeling comfortable opening a Linux terminal in real life.

The idea is simple:

Learn Linux.
Solve problems.
Uncover a mystery.

What would you absolutely want to see in a game like this?

And what would immediately break immersion for you?

PS.: One more thing we want to clarify: the game will be made in a 2D / 2.5D style. The reason is simple: we are only two solo developers working on this project in our free time. A full 3D game would require much more time, experience, and resources than we currently have. But we still want to create something memorable — with a strong story, variety, atmosphere, interesting camera work, and unique mechanics.

We also decided to add an engineering element to the game. After the first test version / demo, we plan to introduce a Raspberry Pi-related part: assembling it, configuring it, and using it in a way that becomes important for the main character and the story.

But we want to make one thing clear: we are not going to move away from realism. There will be no “magic hacking”, no overpowered superhero, and no unrealistic power fantasy. We want the main character to feel like an ordinary person — someone real, limited, and human — who has to solve problems with knowledge, patience, and practical skills.
