State of Play for Gaming on Linux

This month's talk will be on running games on Linux, using Steam, and the state of Proton's support for Windows games!

We'll be running the next meetup once again at Akva. It is booked for Tuesday 3rd of September at 7pm, for a tentative 7:15pm start of the talk - hopefully. There should be no sports on, though there is still a pub quiz on at 8pm.

We will be in the upper mezzanine, which is accessible either via the stairs, or via the lift by the street-side entrance behind the bar.

+++

If you have never been to one of these meetings, just know that it's friendly and informal - grab a pint or a soda, come ask questions, get help with open source software and Linux, and enjoy some geeky company!

There is often a Linux laptop on hand for a quick show and tell for anyone who is curious, and you can also bring your own laptop to troubleshoot Linux, or try Linux on your own laptop - without installing it.

Where’s my Open smartphone?

For July 2019, Thomas Kluyver will be giving us a rundown of the state of open source smartphones!

When Apple launched the iPhone in 2007, phones completed a journey from appliances to pocket computers. Over three quarters of adults in the UK own a smartphone. But it’s difficult to run free, open source applications and operating systems on your phone, or to get a phone with open hardware and firmware. How open are the big smartphone platforms? What are the various projects aiming to make our phones more open? And what are Purism doing with the $2 million they raised by crowdfunding for the Librem 5?
