media players keep talking about Nightingale and after the turn of Miro , which has also recently released new version after a year of development (as a curiosity, both are based on the XUL Mozilla). While trying to look as if “one more player” is de rigueur.

guess many well know Miro, a multimedia player, cross-platform Open Source , with negligible career behind him. Although GNU / Linux has never had a role in any distribution. However, Miro is a really powerful tool with which to manage your music collection, video, Podcast, RSS, playlists, downloads by torrent, online shops and services like YouTube, Hulu, Amazon …

Ultimately, Miro is an application of those that appeal to those who, despite the redundancy, programs like “all in one”, although much power is cost . Luckily, the most outstanding novelty in Miro 6.0 is a really important improvement in performance. For Linux users also get support Flash Player.

I Love Ubuntu

tell us how to install Miro 6.0 from the official PPA :

Note for users of other distros : As we said, Miro is a software that has prestige but not too popular Linux-proof is that Arch Linux has not updated yet Pk, so unless you want to compile the source code, will touch attend your secondary channels of distribution (eg, in the Packman openSUSE, just have to wait for the update).

Has the performance of Ubuntu 13.04 as both account?

class=”article first_main_article” readability=”46″>

are many enthusiastic users comments go already testing Ubuntu 13.04 and praising overall improvement in system performance , the number one to review proposed Canonical experience since the introduction of Unity , which in its infancy suffered from lack of stability and options that over time has gained. Not so with the performance, that of the previous version to the next has been clearly worse.

It has improved the performance of both Ubuntu 4.13 as told?

While

comes to experience first hand Ubuntu 13.04 at Phoronix have set one of those benchmarks that they like them, putting in competition for the next release of Canonical with the latest revision of the LTS, Ubuntu 12.04.2 , all on account of measuring the performance of both systems.

How has been the thing? You wonder. You can see for yourselves, but it looks like on paper no major differences , with a couple of exceptions: Ubuntu 4.13 significantly improves performance when using Ubuntu 12.04.2 graphics drivers free , the user will notice something especially when it goes play .

In fact, the conclusions of Phoronix remain in the sole excuse of renovation, always-must be repeated-talking system performance . So we were as we were, waiting to try out Ubuntu 13.04 under which it will take two weeks yet.

After a pretty decent experience with Ubuntu 12.04 and a rather ominous with Ubuntu 12.10 (I’m not the only one saying, eye), I wonder if we might consider the latter as the Vista of Ubuntu … Or am I happening?

NVIDIA launches R310 drivers, double the performance??

class=”article first_main_article” readability=”38″>

NVIDIA announced with great fanfare the availability of its new binary drivers, the NVIDIA GeForce R310 which the company almost doubled the performance of their GPUs in Linux and reduce load times Linux games on “dramatically”.

nvidia gtx 680 500x348 NVIDIA launches R310 drivers, double the performance??

These drivers, which support the new range of dedicated graphics cards NVIDIA GeForce GTX 600, have a year in development, and it seems that even collaborated Valve for this launch coincides with the beta client Steam and get the most out of the first games.

internal testing these drivers have managed to reach 304.51 fps 142.7 fps against the previous version of the driver in the game Left for Dead 2 and on a system with a GeForce GTX 680 and Ubuntu 12.04 32 bits. It should be noted, however, that often both NVIDIA and AMD Drivers patched precisely to achieve specific improvements in certain games , so that message of “double the performance” probably only be fulfilled in very specific as this.

Google Chrome Captura5 18 , available for download with improved performance

Google Chrome’s popularity remains rising and browser developers are working hard to keep up with user requirements. Hours ago, for example, was made available version 18 browser developed by the California corporation.

The new edition of the application includes some interesting improvements, especially in regard to performance. Chrome 18 is the first stable release that includes GPU acceleration for 2D Canvas , thanks to this addition the implementation of web applications is much more fluid and its performance is superior.

Other feature enabled in the new edition of the browser is SwiftShader , a technology that lets you view 3D content in teams of a certain age or low performance hardware.

From Google know that the software performance based on WebGL is not the same as could be obtained with a real GPU, but the idea is that all users have access to the contents basic three-dimensional found on the web. Please note that this feature is automatically disabled in modern equipment.

If you use Chrome as default browser will automatically install the update. In the event that the update has not yet been successful have to join Options> Google Chrome . If you have not tested the browser can download it from the link at the bottom of the post.

Michael Larabel, the founder and editor of Phoronix, has published a few days in your Twitter account messages on an ad next to could represent a major step forward for the future of Linux . However, there has just unveiled what they submit in the near future.

500x351 MotorLinux Want to triple the performance of your Linux distribution?

yesterday published a short article that gave clues about the project, codenamed “Dirndl”, and that apparently have an incredible impact on overall performance of the Linux operating system.

certificate Phoronix published a graph of the proof of Phoronix Test Suite that shows the performance of new development on an Ubuntu system with and without Dirndl 11.04.

dirndl Want to triple the performance of your Linux distribution?

example, indicates Larabel, is consistent in the remaining tests, achieving an average increase of 2.6 x times the original performance. It is an amazing improvement, explained all we really want to know.

MuyLinux we have the answer, thanks to their own messages in the Twitter account of Michael Larabel and Phoronix forum debate: the creator of this site said that it was development would be released on Open Source and now cost about $ 1,800 per license.

500x263 EKOPath Want to triple the performance of your Linux distribution?

This has enabled a very likely candidate for this release. EKOPath This is an advanced compiler that is uniquely suited to create object code optimized for AMD64 distro we use on 64-bit . The secret of improved performance of Linux and all its components would be based on the use of EKOPath-and not gcc-like compiler for both the kernel and for applications in the system.

course if everything goes as it seems, may soon attend one of the news highlights of the scene in a long time Linux . Nearly triple the performance of our systems for free would be a discovery, do not you think?
