Moksha 0.2 seguirá basándose en E17

Moksha 0.2El equipo de desarrollo de Bodhi Linux ha lanzado una nueva versión de Moksha 0.2, un fork que han desarrollado basándose en Enlightenment, el famoso escritorio liviano. Sin embargo la nueva versión no se basará en E20 o E19 como cabe suponer sino que será un retroceso, en este caso se volverá a la versión E17.

Ya los desarrolladores anunciaron en el anuncio de su lanzamiento que Moksha nacía como una alternativa a Enlightenment y a su malos desarrollos en las últimas versiones. Así afirmaron que primero se basaría en E19 para luego intentar retroceder o mejorar la versión anterior. Pues parece que en este caso se ha conseguido y no sólo se han corregido bugs que existían en E17 sino también han incorporado algunas novedades como la eliminación de archivos .desktop para tener lanzadores en el escritorio o solucionado el problema de rendimiento del comando enlightenment_remote.

Moksha 0.2 ya está en Bodhi Linux

En cualquier caso parece que Moksha está teniendo un gran desarrollo y se prevé que tenga el mismo futuro que MATE, con la diferencia de que será Enlightenment y no Gnome. Los usuarios de Bodhi Linux ya disfrutan de esta nueva versión y poco a poco se lanzarán repositorios y versiones para distintas distribuciones que quieran utilizar Moksha 0.2 como escritorio por defecto.

E17 ha sido uno de los mejores escritorios no sólo por su liviandad sino también por su estética, elementos que están perdiéndose en las nuevas versiones pero que parece que se está recuperando en Moksha, algo que seguramente están viendo con buen ojo no sólo los usuarios de Bodhi Linux sino también otros como los usuarios de Ubuntu. Por el momento Moksha no es un escritorio muy oficial, pero parece que poco a poco eso está cambiando. En cualquier caso si os entra la curiosidad y queréis saber cómo instalar Moksha 0.2 en vuestra distribución, en esta web encontraréis información detallada.

Best Apps and Games of the Week

These are the best apps and games that came out this week.

SKRWT

Sometimes when you shoot a picture on your phone, it’s hard to get everything right. Later when you view it, you realize it’s tilted, or improperly framed, or the perspective is off. Some apps let you do minor adjustments before you upload but nothing is as comprehensive as SKRWT. Previously an iOS exclusive, the app is finally available on Android. With SKRWT you can do the basic things like cropping and tilting but also change the perspective by selectively tilting individual sides of the image till everything looks just right. It can also add or remove vignetting effect and other lens distortions such as fisheye. There’s a lot to explore and if you’re a fan of precision and symmetry in your photography, you’d definitely appreciate what this app has to offer.

4 Tips For Finding And Retaining Tech Talent

Hiring is a gamble. The cost of a bad hire is high — tens of thousands of dollars down the drain, from onboarding and training, not to mention re-recruiting, re-onboarding, etc. And the job market for tech talent is tighter than ever: if tech pros aren’t a needle in a haystack, they’re a very popular — and poachable — haystack.

Ubisoft Created Some Absurdly High Expectations For The Division’s Size And Scale

There seems to be some discontent among video game fans today as the final size and location of the map in The Division has been revealed. The New York City-centric game will not include Queens, Staten Island or Brooklyn, nor parts of Manhattan outside of midtown. Not the Financial District or Central Park, and so on. What you see above is effectively the playable area of the game.
