Linus Torvalds Announces Linux 4.0, has problems counting [again]

  • 2,855

The Boss says that the next kernel release will be 4.0, after a developers' survey that asked if they were ready to start a new numbering series. The next kernel would have been 3.20 if the devs hadn't voted for 4.0.

He says the new number series doesn't mean that much, except that "I can do releases without having to take off my socks again." If you remember, going from 2.x to 3.x was for much the same reason, as I reported here: https://www.aoaforums.com/forum/linux/49804-linus-cant-count-40-dubs-kernel.html

Interestingly enough, the 'strongest argument' for the new scheme seems to be that people have "a wish to see 4.1.15 - because "that was the version of Linux skynet used for the T-800 terminator." [The version of the android played by Arnold Schwartzenegger.]

[Guide] Running Child of Light on Linux

col.png


Hello everyone, today I’ll be posting a guide on how to run Child of Light, a beautifulRPG game by Ubisoft. This how-to requires you to have minimum knowledge of the terminal. Do not fret though, if you do all the steps you shouldn’t worry about a thing.

My guides don’t include installation process. I will only include them when I see the need to have one. I got Child of Light on Steam, however the process should be similar to uPlay too. You can contact me through e-mail, please understand that I might be busy and it’ll take a while for me to reply.

UPDATE:

Due to taking down the virtual private server (VPS) soon I've taken a snapshot of the archives I've uploaded related to WINE. Issue has been solved. Leaving link as backup either way.

You can find it all here
