Dropbox sync will work only on EXT4 (unencrypted only, Linux), NTFS (Windows), APFS and HFS+ (both Mac OS). pCloud might be a good alternative to Dropbox. It’s hosted in Switzerland and cheaper. Rclone is also an option, but more of a DIY as you’d need to provide the backend storage. Most of us use the default file system for their distro, so many will be able to keep using Dropbox. Nextcloud will be big in Japan, as NEC are gonna make routers with Nextcloud pre-installed. Nextcloud 14 to be released in September is going to feature video authentication for shared files and lots of other new features.Gaming

Oggcamp 2018 was great! Shout out to all the lovely people who gave us encouragement and awesome podcasting advice: Joe Ressington, Martin Wimpress, Alan Pope and Mark Johnson, Dan Lynch, Simon Phipps, Jon the Nice Guy Spriggs and Chris Zimmerman. Many thanks to Tad Cantwell for the best promotion! Great talks - From building your own mobile network with Raspberry PIs and running your own mainframe to Dark Peak Data Cooperative and everything in between. Amazing social track - it was inspiring and heart warming to meet so many people so passionate about Linux and free culture. How do you make ‘other’ people interesting in Linux? Make it better than other OS, installed out of the box, improve an old PC with it… Linux is for everyone! (Not just you CLI geeks ;-)) We moan a bit about other, not so good OSes (with love, of course). Updates are just so much better on Linux. Oggcamp rules, even if it’s not humanly possible to see all the talks. Go join all the great people in 2019 to see the best of the Linux and open culture community! Oggcamp is also free as in beer (and the beer in the UK is cheap).Contact Us

18.04.1 and things based off it (or are going to be), Linux Mint 19, Elementary OS, KDE Neon, Zorin OS Gnome 3 and Ubuntu switching to it, stock gnome 3 vs “Ubuntufied Gnome 3 shell” KDE 5 and KDE Neon, design and system resources, LXQT as a “lightweight” desktop environment We briefly talk about Nvidia and AMD cards and drivers and what to buy and what’s most compatible Microsoft’s Windows as a service, buying a computer without Windows. Rejecting the Windows license, custom built PCs, System 76 and Entroware Should we always attempt to own/jailbreak/reinstall everything? While devices like the Kindle are worth jailbreaking for the extra features, the risk of bricking is high in many cases because of artificial barriers put in place by the manufacturers. Couldn't they just allow us to use the things we buy as we please, even if it meant voiding the warranty?

LibreOffice has released version 6.2 with the NotebookBar available from the view menu, rather than as an experimental feature. This could be great for people coming from Microsoft Office
The Raspberry Pi Foundation opened a store. Some people have been skeptical, isn't this similar to Games Workshop which seems to be thriving? The place is slick, it looks like an Apple Store.
Fedora are designing a new logo. The lead developer uses free and open source tools only. She would like constructive and respectful feedback, but she felt forced to disable the comments on her blog, because some people just can't help being jerks.
New Plasma is out. Bluetooth devices now show their battery usage, Firefox 64 can now optionally use native KDE open/save dialogues. Also, improvements to Discover. Jason Evangelho's openSUSE challenge.
Is Linux ever going to be for the "average non-technical user"? Is it ready now? Should it even try? Jason Evangelho's article on Gaming without Windows. SteamOS could be just an appliance with its Big Picture. What about technical but new users? Should they be given Ubuntu or Linux from Scratch.
Boners:
Mike: Tabulate for Python, because fuck me it's so good!
Shane: Latest version of Blender
Conor: LineageOS.

Pine64 revealed at FOSDEM, that they will release a tablet + a souped up PineBook Pro, OMG Ubuntu reports 😻. Prices are expected to be u-n-b-e-l-i-e-v-a-b-l-e (even though there's always a hefty shipping charge and maybe taxes).
PineTab:
To be available later this year $79 (under €60) 10.1" screen 2GB RAM, 16GB storage, USB A 2.0 host, micro USB 2.0 OTG, microSD Black plastic Magnetic keyboard as an optional extraPineBook Pro
To be available later this year $199 (under €175) 14" 1080p display 6-core ARM chip 4GB RAM, 64GB EMMC storage (slower than SSD, faster than HDD) USB 3.0 and 2.0, USB C (incl. charging and video out)Check out the OMG Ubuntu articles for more info about the PineTab and the PineBook Pro. If you want a Linux tablet now, UBports is available for the Nexus 7 (just be careful to get the supported version).
Not to be outdone, Purism revealed more info about the the PureOS Store.📱
Apps in the store will have badges depending on the app development status (i.e. "Beta"). They want to incentivize developers but don't say how They plan to build it around Flatpak They announced the Lollypop music player for laptops and the phone. The phone itself is meant to have really futuristic stuff like user-replaceable battery and a headphone jack. BUT 1440x720 display and ONLY 3GB of RAM (that could change).More about Librem 5 apps in the lower half of the product website. PureOS is not going to be the only choice of operating system on the phone, users will be able to install for example Plasma Mobile. Hopefully the Librem 5 won't follow the destiny of Firefox OS. They are also planning a subscription of ethical services bundle.
Steam Play now allows to add non Steam Windows games. Games that ship with their own native clients can now launch with Proton from inside Steam for Linux. According to reports some games actually perform better that way.🎮
Steam also released new stats for 2019, Linux is sitting flat at 0.82%. Gabe Newell, president of Steam makers Valve, on Steam, Windows and Linux. Some examples of non-games in the Steam store.
The Lutris open gaming platform has a new release, 0.5:

Retroplayer gaming built in Digital Rights Management decryption support 😱❔🤷 Live TV improvements Mike has tried it, but couldn't get the TV remote working.By the time of release, LibreELEC have already released a version based on Kodi 18. OpenELEC are still on 17.
Gnome speed enhancements for the 3.32 release due next month.💻 This is a very good news, since Gnome happens to be the default DE on many distros. Thank you, Gnome devs, Canonical devs and everyone else who contributed.
Firefox 65 is out now comes with:
Enhanced tracking protection: Simplified content blocking settings give users standard, Support for the WebP Enhanced security for macOS, Linux, and Android users via stronger stack smashing protection which is now enabled by default for all platforms. "Stack smashing" is a common security attack in which malicious actors corrupt or take control of a vulnerable program.👮 Firefox will now warn you when closing a window (regardless of whether you have automatic session restore enabled for restart). Easier performance management: The revamped Task Manager page found atabout:performancenow reports memory usage for tabs and add-ons.Also, Firefox 66 will come with client side decorations! Right now, users can enable this with a toggle switch in the Customize settings, from the next release it will be enabled by default.
Akira is to be a graphical interface design app for designers. The dev is running a Kickstarter campaign to pay full time devs for a few months + hardware + taxes. More info in a Linux Unplugged interview.💶

Gnome and Pop!_OS. Top Icons Plus is a necessity, yet the developer quit (see the Warning). Gnome Online Accounts for seemless cloud integration. Gnome Tweaks enable customization. Gnome can be conceptually compared to macOS
The Focusrite Scarlett Solo audio interface doesn't play nice with Linux, so Conor has to use Windows 10 to record on. Skip signing into MS Account. A lot of junk litters the start menu by default, remove it. ShutUp10 is useful tame the OS. Windows design team
We need consumer grade recording apps - Audacity is great but to complex for some of us.
Fedora 30 is to get a Deepin desktop option.
Deepin 15.9 released with touchscreen support. There are other touch-friendly options: Gnome, Plasma Mobile.
ChromeOS to add Apt search to its launcher
DuckDuckGo will use Apple Maps for its local search. OpenStreetMap might be a better fit, but how is non-tracking search engine going to make money? iCloud hack.
Purism are going to create a convergent store for mobile and PC apps. F-Droid is a freedom respecting store on Android. Anbox let's users run Android apps on other platforms. Elementary OS AppCenter attempts to help Linux app devs monetize their creations. Federated app store would be a win.

Emby went proprietary but you wouldn’t guess that from the release post. Never mind, the Plex media server alternative has already been forked under the name of Jellyfin. Good luck to the developers (and unlike the Emby people, we mean it). Forks can turn out great, Libre Office came from Open Office after the Oracle Sun acquisition and now it’s the open source office suite.
Mycroft is to postpone delivery of the Mark II due to manufacturing issues, from this December to Q1 2019. No refunds, for anyone put off by this. Hopefully when it comes, it will be better for it, to compete with the likes of Amazon Alexa.
Firefox version 64 is out with multiple tab selection but without the killed off Live Bookmarks. Is it because of Pocket? Not as big as the Quantum 57 release.
Microsoft to discontinue EdgeHTML (via hacker news) and base its Edge browser on Blink. They have an interest in the Blink ecosystem because of Electron ecosystem - very nicely explained on Coder Radio. Microsoft’s decision left many people and organizations like Mozilla worried about the future of the internet. Edge is going to join the club with Opera, Vivaldi, Brave and other Blink-based browsers. Are we going back to the terrible old days of Internet Explorer 6? Browser specific CSS. Duck Duck Go it if you don’t want to Google it - and go JavaScript - free on DDG Lite. Or if you are a master ninja of the search engines, use Searx to bind them all and unleash true power with DDG bangs!
Konsole now fully supports Emoji characters (_via Phoronix _ ). This is rather nice for Telegram-CLI and Oh My Zsh.
