Fedora 42 : Dune Legacy game .

Dune Legacy is an effort by a handful of developers to revitalize the first-ever real-time strategy game.
It tries to be as similar as possible to the original gameplay but to integrate user interface features most modern realtime-strategy games have like selecting multiple units
I download this game from the official website, and I install with DNF5 tool:
[root@fedora Downloads]# dnf5 install dunelegacy-0.96.4.x86_64.rpm
Updating and loading repositories:
Repositories loaded.
Package                 Arch   Version                 Repository           Size
Installing:
 dunelegacy             x86_64 0.96.4-0.1              @commandline      5.8 MiB
Installing dependencies:
 SDL2_mixer             x86_64 2.8.0-2.fc41            updates-testing 345.3 KiB
 ...
 Warning: skipped PGP checks for 1 package from repository: @commandline
Complete!
Find the orifinal Dune II on web, or try this website.
The game can be start after I unarchive the DuneII archive into DuneII then copy to /usr/share/dunelegacy ...
[mythcat@fedora DuneII]$ sudo su 
[sudo] parola pentru mythcat: 
[root@fedora DuneII]# cp *.* /usr/share/dunelegacy
[root@fedora DuneII]# exit
exit
[mythcat@fedora DuneII]$ dunelegacy 
.. and works well :

Fedora 39 : About Penpot online tool.

Designers and developers can finally work in unison to build beautifully designed software experiences that truly scale up.
Penpot is the Open-Source Design & Prototyping Tool for Product Teams.
If you have worked with Adobe XD or similar software, then it performs the same functions.
I haven't tested it very thoroughly, but I can tell you that it works very well and is open-source and free.
I haven't seen anything about Bootstrap in the library of bookstores and templates, but there are quite a few in other areas with a pretty good design.
You can test it on the official webpage.
See these videos from the official youtube channel:

Fedora 36 : Fill out this survey for a badge.

I've always liked Fedora distro because it applies a concept of interactivity between developers and users.
Even if not everything works, you can see the progress made from the older versions.
Today I completed my feedback in a survey requested by them and I also got a small badget for my effort.
You can find it on this webpage.

Fedora 36 : Inkscape 1.2 with Huion WH 1409 graphic tablet.

In this tutorial I will show you how to install and use the Huion WH 1409 graphics tablet with the new release of Inkscape 1.2 software.
You will need to use the DKMS feature of the kernel and the tablet-specific drivers.
Let's start with the following command to get the driver and show the files:
[root@fedora mythcat]# git clone https://github.com/DIGImend/digimend-kernel-drivers.git
Cloning into 'digimend-kernel-drivers'...

[root@fedora mythcat]# cd digimend-kernel-drivers/
[root@fedora digimend-kernel-drivers]# dir
compat.h    dracut.conf        hid-uclogic-params.c  README.md
COPYING        hid-ids.h        hid-uclogic-params.h  udev.rules
debian        hid-kye.c        hid-uclogic-rdesc.c   usbhid
depmod.conf    hid-polostar.c        hid-uclogic-rdesc.h   xorg.conf
digimend-debug    hid-rebind        hid-viewsonic.c
dkms.conf    hid-uclogic-core.c  Makefile
Let's create it using the command
[root@fedora digimend-kernel-drivers]# make dkms_install
...

dkms add .
Creating symlink /var/lib/dkms/digimend/11/source -> /usr/src/digimend-11
dkms build digimend/11

Building module:
cleaning build area...
make -j1 KERNELRELEASE=5.17.9-300.fc36.x86_64 KVERSION=5.17.9-300.fc36.x86_64...
...
Let's check and reboot.
[root@fedora digimend-kernel-drivers]# dkms status
digimend/11, 5.17.9-300.fc36.x86_64, x86_64: installed (original_module exists)
[root@fedora digimend-kernel-drivers]# reboot
After rebooting the diver must be activated and you will see that Linux responds to the movement of the tablet pen.
[root@fedora mythcat]# modprobe -r hid-kye hid-uclogic hid-viewsonic
Install the latest version of inkscape 1.2 using the DNF utility.
Start the inkscape software:
[mythcat@fedora ~]$ inkscape
static bool Inkscape::UI::Dialog::DialogContainer::recreate_dialogs_from_state(InkscapeWindow*, const Glib::KeyFile*): Key
file does not have group “Windows”
Gdk-Message: 15:09:10.534: Error flushing display: Broken pipe
It seems that inkscape does not detect and set the tablet if you use the settings of this software, but you can use the tablet with this software even if you do not set it.

Fedora and childish ideas .

The marketing, design and promotion of any product is a key element of success.
I have to admit that although I am not an active member of Fedora distribution teams and I am glad to be able to help where it is needed.
Over the last time, I spend my online time with my son playing Roblox ( because he is away from me) and trying to show him what the computer can do for people.
This game allows development with the LUA programming language and object creation for users.
The idea that programs and games are essential factors in our lives.
Also the fact that I have been using Fedora for a long time, I have allowed myself to implement an intention to promote the Fedora distribution.
This is a shirt created with the Fedora logo and can be worn in the Roblox game. He found it here.

The tool Noodl for design and web development.

This tool will help you understand something about data structuring, node building, web development and design.
This application comes with interactive lessons and documentation.
Note: I tested some lessons and are not very easy. Thus, some links between the nodes do not appear with all the labels, unless they are made inversely, in this case on the work surface the links are no longer one-way (with the arrow arrow) but only punctually between the nodes.
It can be downloaded here for the following operating systems :
  • Version 1.2.3 (MacOS)
  • Version 1.2.3 (Win x64 Installer)
  • Version 1.2.3 (Linux x86 64)
Let's see the default interface of Noodl application.

Design - Steps into tickets - the Track ticket.

The first step in this is to make sure that the subject completely designs team fedora.
A second step is to check the validity according to legal terms.
In this category are the rules established by the international community and the team's fedora.
The process seems simple but requires time and cooperation.
Let's see some example:
Example 1: The python logo can be used according to the python official website:
The Python Logo Projects and companies that use Python are encouraged to incorporate the Python logo on their websites, brochures, packaging, and elsewhere to indicate suitability for use with Python or implementation in Python. Use of the "two snakes" logo element alone, without the accompanying wordmark, is permitted on the same terms as the combined logo.
Example 2: The Fedora logo usage:
These are the official brand and logo usage guidelines for Fedora. Usage of Fedora and related logos must follow the guidelines as specified below. All users must also comply with the official trademark guidelines.
Trac has a built in small and powerful wiki rendering engine and used Wiki markup to fill your issues.
You can add files to your ticket and used comments to solve it.
Now the Fedora design team used trac.
The official webpage told us about trac:
Trac is a web-based software project management and bug/issue tracking system emphasizing ease of use and low ceremony. It provides an integrated Wiki, an interface to version control systems, and a number of convenient ways to stay on top of events and changes within a project. Trac is distributed under the modified BSD License. The complete text of the license can be found online as well as in the COPYING file included in the distribution.
When you open a new ticket you need to fill with all info and data to make it to make it solvable.
Also, it would better to be discussed in team meetings fedora design because this will brainstorms ideas and will avoid comments or any inconsistency with another ticket or usage of output. When you used to open the new ticket then you may use WikiFormatting .
The new Create New Ticket comes with some field:
Properties - all about this ticket:
Summary - is more like a title, and is a little summary of the ticket.
Description - is the description of the ticket and has at least three components completed in order
to facilitate the work will solve the ticket and come with the three components:
= phenomenon =
= reason =
= recommendation =
The type - is the type of ticket and this will put into the area of interest and that will show us the interaction with the understanding of which will be part of the final component will be.
Type:
- Design and Tools Education
- Digital Artwork;
- Print/Swag Design;
- Release Artwork;
- UX/Interaction Research and Design;
- Web Design;
- Team Maintenance;
Priority - will determine the team needs intervention and is four:
release blocker
high
medium
low
Severity - represent the complexity in solving this ticket
- Quick & Easy
- Moderately Involved
- Long-Term / Complex Issue
Keywords - the unused part but that could solve many problems in the management of packets,  logo, banner, wallpaper, badget, foss, devel-team, infra-team
Cc - indicates those who are to receive a copy
The next edit box is used for the owner, blocking issue and put to work: Blocked By, Blocking and Owner.
The next step is resolving proper, comments remediation work and finally, upload the ticket closure.
Although it seems simple in real completing the final result emerges by differentiation with similar components in the online environment in terms of the one he sees and the one working in similar areas of design.
My point: The best results are obtained not through cooperation at operational management. They appear as the sum of the factors involved in platforms and solutions implemented for the design team members. Therefore their knowledge is very useful.
