Valve Releases Steam Client Update to Further Improve Native Linux Gaming

The last Steam Client update brought a bunch of changes to improve Linux gaming for native titles by implementing support for executing native Linux game titles in the Steam for Linux runtime 1.0 (scout) by default rather than of the legacy runtime environment. The new Steam Client update fixes an issue where native Linux titles could occasionally run in the wrong runtime.

How To Change File Associations on Kubuntu

This article will help you configure file association on Kubuntu. File association, also known as "Open With", is the configuration that determines what application opens what file type, such as PDF should be opened with PDF reader, MP3 should be opened by MP3 player and so on. Every system has its own file associations. When you have many applications and choices, you might need to change such association so your favorite file type can be opened by default with your favorite application. We will show you it is easy to do on Kubuntu 22.04 "Jammy Jellyfish". Now let's start it out!

Kubuntu 22.04 with Legacy Oxygen Theme

This tutorial will help you using silver, metallic theme "Oxygen" that was popular in the era of KDE 4 on the modern Kubuntu 22.04 "Jammy Jellyfish". In short, we will use Elarun as wallpaper and Oxygen as the rest of the whole themes including application style, colors, icons, Plasma style, and splash screen. All in all, we want to offer the best visual experience we had in the past to new generation of Kubuntu users as well as the long time users themselves especially those who appreciate nostalgia. Finally, we hope you will enjoy this!

Robustel introduces EG5101 and EG5200 Debian 11 industrial IoT gateways with 4G LTE cellular connectivity

posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Dec 05, 2023

Robustel introduced the EG5101 and EG5200 industrial IoT gateways running Debian 11 a few weeks ago, both with 4G LTE cellular connectivity, but the NXP i.MX 6ULL-based EG5101 has a more compact design, while the NXP i.MX 8M Plus-powered EG5200 provides more I/Os and resources.

The hardware between the EG5101 and EG5200 differs quite more than I expected when I first started this post, but both run the same RobusOS Pro operating system based on Debian 11 and with support for C, C++, Python, Java, Node.js, etc programming through an SDK provided by the company. In a typical scenario, the gateway would gather data from sensors using WiFi, Ethernet, or serial (RS232/RS485), potentially do some processing at the edge (especially the EG5200 with a built-in AI accelerator)
