I feel like they should work on their simplicity, literally their file managing and file transferring system is useless and unlike androids you will literally get confused for first time.

Now available is Wine-Staging 8.18 as the more experimental blend of Wine that integrates just shy of 500 extra patches atop Wine.

Alas, the most significant new features are Windows-only — for now, anyway.

This includes Super Resolution scaling support with compatible NVIDIA and Intel GPUs. This uses AI-assisted upscaling to bump visual quality and image sharpness.

Mozilla, the company that owns Firefox, acquired Fakespot in May. Fakespot, a startup that helps users identify fake news through a website and a browser extension, has been used to spot fake reviews on Amazon, Yelp, TripAdvisor, Walmart, and eBay using an A-to-F scale.

Fakespot’s Review Checker is scheduled to be released on Firefox version 120 for desktop and Android on November 21, 2023, according to MS Power User.

Last year at XDC 2022 it was dubbed “the world’s slowest raytracer” but thanks to the work done by Valve and others, the RADV ray-tracing performance is now quite capable and also enabled by default since Mesa 23.2. The RADV ray-tracing performance also continues inching closer to the AMDVLK Vulkan performance for that official open-source AMD Vulkan driver.

Libre Office doesn’t come close, in comparison. Besides Linux & Windows, there’re also OnlyOffice for Android, MacOS & iOS. And “in the cloud, the cloud, boss” and collaborating stuff.
