I love python typing, and have been using it extensively in 3.6. Great to see it in the CPython core! I've been looking forward to trying data classes, should be nice to avoid unnecessary code.

I was hoping to see declarative user profiles [1] merged into this release, which is the next big future I'm really looking forward to. Too bad it didn't make it in. Looks like it should be another great release though, good to se

I enjoy gaming and occasionally there’s an application I want to run that is unavailable on Linux. Up until now my primary way of dealing with this was to use multiple wine bottles, one for each game. While this provides a little bit of seg

I'm not sure if you've ever visited https://lobste.rs , but it actually has this built-in - it caches every post. It's kind of like Hacker News except they've made some changes and added a bit more functionali

I've been using their service with OpenVPN for years and I've always been very impressed. Them going open source, and ultimately being auditable, makes them that much more recommendable.

Some interesting ideas for better support for VR under Linux. Looks like there has been a bit of work done related to Wayland as the author mentions, but but the development mentioned in this article was related to X. I'd love to see L

KDE Plasma 5 is actually at a great state right now. It works well and you can customize it to me whatever kind of desktop you like. Canonical could have made it into whatever they wanted it to be. It's built on top of a Qt, that works

Yes! It's a simple and easy editor to use. It's one thing I really miss when I use a non GNU based NIX that doesn't come with it pre-installed. It does everything you need it to do for quick configuration edits, and doesn&#x

What I would like to see you would be an open source speech recognition system that is easy to use, and works. There is really no match for the proprietary solutions in the open source world right now, and that is disappointing. Not to say
