Linux App Summit 2020 | "GTK4 is (almost) here!" - Matthias Clasen, Emmanuele Bassi
GTK 4 is a major new version of GTK, that is scheduled to be released before the end of this year. It contains many improvements that will make it easier to develop polished applications with modern features.
This talk will present an overview of the major changes and new features, with a focus on what matters for application developers, whether you are writing a new application or thinking about porting an existing one.
About this talk:
In this talk, a Linux kernel developer gets to complain how his normal "test case" i.e. userspace code, could do better when it comes to a whole range of different things that have been learned over time by maintaining a stable interface to the kernel for 20+ years.
About Greg:
Greg Kroah-Hartman is a Fellow at the Linux Foundation. He is currently responsible for the stable Linux kernel releases, and is a maintainer of the USB, TTY, and driver core subsystems in the kernel as well as other portions of the kernel codebase that he wishes he could forget about.
This is a short non-technical introduction to flatpak. It will talk about what Flatpak is and what problems it tries to solve. The focus is on application developers that want to distribute their application (rather than end users).
In 2004 Yamaha debuted the AD8HR AD Converter. The 8-channel AD8HR provides head amplifier circuitry inherited from the acclaimed Yamaha PM5000 analog mixing console and supports sampling rates of up to 96kHz. Up to 255 of these chonky blue boys can be daisy-chained together using a standard 9-pin RS422 and provide digital out via AES/EBU. All this could be had for the low low MSRP of $2,200. While that might sound pricey it was a bargain compared to offerings from Aphex, Grace, Rocknet and others.
In 2021 you can yoink a used AD8HR for a under $300 and that got me thinking. Can I find a way to get it working with Linux for under a $1000? This is my story.

In this episode of Linux Spotlight, BigDaddyLinux gets to sit down with Venn Stone of LinuxGameCast. I think you’ll find some of his answers fascinating because they were not what Rocco expected at all. It was a great conversation and he enjoyed sitting down with a guy who is not only an audio genius but somebody who is straight to the point with no drama and an all around good guy who has been giving back to the community for years. Enjoy!

The sweetness and creativity of Studio Ghibli, the setting and atmosphere of Blade Runner and the humor and game style of Monkey Island: these are the ingredients that inspired ENCODYA, a point-and-click adventure game set in a dystopian future.
