While we look forward to the beta launch of Left 4 Dead 2 next week and although at the time of this writing were not yet available, Phoronix reports Portal 1 and 2 come natively to GNU / Linux (a matter of time to be prepared).

portalLlega to encourage Linux Portal on Steam

So with a few years old late, at last you can enjoy these games logic first person , others would say puzzle. Yes, a great game, as Metascore score of 90 points for Gateway (2007, 6.99 euros) and 95 points for Portal 2 (2011, 14.99 euros).

If you know this title and prefer not to risk with the purchase, on Steam is available a demo of the first part. To whet your appetite, a video of the second part:

Portal comes at a good time, as the share Steam Linux , which soared in the first two months, has fallen in the last two. And there has been little, about four tenths. The ceiling reached 2.02%, to 1.5-1.6% April.

is hard to tell exactly because the Steam hardware survey now includes a hodgepodge important distributions, among which especially Ubuntu, Ubuntu and Ubuntu , and then as Linux Mint, Arch Linux, Debian, openSUSE … (if the proportion of desktop users is similar, and it appears some of it is …).

What will be the cause of the decline in giving Linux users Steam? Because interest in the novelty could bring more excitement than expected, but there is nothing more important and I do not remember what it is … Oh yeah, the games. Little by little, I would say that.

    • Integrates with Dropbox, SkyDrive, Google Drive and Ubuntu One
    • course makes use of ‘webapps’ default including Angry Birds, Gmail, Facebook, Twitter and Soundcloud
    • Its interface will appeal to those looking for something new but consistent

    However, they say a picture is worth a thousand words, so here’s a video:

    Now instructions for installation on Ubuntu 12.04 and Ubuntu 12.10 and derivatives:

Yesterday it launched its latest version.

     500x312 zpNPudp Fuduntu 2013.2 comes with Steam and XBMC

    According

    counted in the official announcement, the project has grown enough to Fuduntu, in addition to the regular edition, launched a second format “mini” , directed especially netbooks or computers fewer benefits. That for now, as for later already working on an issue with KDE as a desktop environment.

    Otherwise Fuduntu 2013.2 includes the Linux kernel 3.8.3-3, Firefox 19.02, Thunderbird 17.0.4, LibreOffice 4.0.1.1, GIMP2.8.4 or XBMC as highlights packages, all on a environment GNOME 2 .

    However, there is another novelty to that given enough importance, and is to include Steam as preinstalled package . Also, some components such as the Mesa library have been updated for better performance as far as playing is concerned. Apparently, Fuduntu wants to emphasize at this point and even opened a YouTube channel to go hanging shows and progress in this regard.

Also, the common push ownCloud has provided new documentation which will surely appreciate both ordinary users and the developers.

    As for security , have been some changes to prevent vulnerabilities XSS, we have implemented a new vulnerability disclosure policy for rapid response to update the same way, have improved security controls by integrating known Open Source ClamAV antivirus , and of course have fixed a bunch of bugs .

    About performance , a single fact: some tests determine that ownCloud 5.0 is 500% faster than ownCloud 4.5 . One improvement that will particularly benefit ownCloud facilities with a large number of users. All thanks to several internal changes, including having rewritten from scratch a few key components such as the file system cache.

    What new features for the user? There is talk of a redesign of the interface , an option to recover deleted files , new search engine , and enhancements including the main ownCloud modules, including desktop client. Today is expected to publish an article giving a breakdown everything, but you know that you can try ownCloud when you want, without missing a beat (one try).
