📰 Add multiple picture widgets to your Ubuntu desktop

If you remember that desktop picture widget for GNOME I wrote about last year, but found it a bit too basic for your personalisation preferences, you weren’t alone. Another user felt it could lacked enough flexibility, so forked and improved it. Picture Desktop Widget Remake improves on the original. It lets add multiple picture widgets to your Ubuntu desktop, and assign each one a different folder to pull images from, at random.

В Epic Games Store появится официальная поддержка Linux

Компания Epic Games работает над обеспечением официальной поддержки платформы Linux в сервисе распространения компьютерных игр Epic Games Store. Дата выпуска Linux-версии не называется, упомянуто лишь, что поддержка Linux появится скоро, но не в следующей предварительной версии. Утверждается, что реализация поддержки Linux не ограничивается портированием лаунчера и подразумевает более тесную интеграцию с платформой. В настоящее время для доступа к играм в Epic Games Store пользователям Linux приходится использовать сторонние лаунчеры, такие как Heroic Games, которые загружают Windows-сборки и запускают их через Wine и Proton.
