I encountered several app crashes within just a few hours, and they seem to be tied into the theming. So my initial impressions of LinuxFx are mixed. Syscalls cause vmexit and are handled specially. It utilizes Windows Hypervisor Platform (so you need to have it installed) to run Linux code. That being said, Rachid tells me their longterm plan is to rewrite all the functions and systematically replace the components of Cinnamon, and eventually employ their own custom window manager. I have been learning Rust for a few months and decided to make this simple and not very useful project as an experiment. But it’s also compelling because a new Linux user can quite easily just switch up the theme and behavior using Cinnamon’s wealth of customization options once the novelty of a Windows 10 desktop has worn off.Īt that point, they’re basically using a stable version of Ubuntu 20.04 with the Cinnamon desktop. Concerning because one has to wonder if the existence of a distribution like this is threatened by the copious amounts of asset borrowing. It’s both compelling and concerning just how shockingly similar this all looks to Windows 10.
You can find a quick start guide on how to get RPCS3 running on the official site. Like most emulators for recent consoles, you will need a decent gaming PC though. It can boot and play a decent number of commercial games. It currently works on the Raspberry Pi and is being ported to the Asus Tinker. RPCS3 is an open-source Sony PlayStation 3 emulator and debugger.
LinuxFx is also actively being developed for ARM platforms. Unlike Windows, however, system updates are seamless and don’t require a restart. Or adding applets, desklets or a huge selection of themes to your installation. Jason Evangelhoįor the most part, it honestly feels like using Windows 10 until you start digging deep into customization menus or the bundled software store (which uses the Windows Store icon because of course it does). Familiar names and functionality, but the apps behind the menu are obviously Linux ones.
