Linux Games Come of Age, Ragata and Nobara

When I started Linux my only complain was lack of Games.

I did come from the Windows background and still earlier DOS.

DOS games were my favourite.

Atari Game (not Hatari, the African Game Hunt) Box,               I bought is still in the attic.

Game Distributions in Linux both Ragata and Nobara are pretty good Linux distributions. 

One based on SuSe and the other on Fedora.

I have no games but I can report Nobara has both Proton and Lutrius in addition to Steam utility.

This is posted with Nobara live on a USB.

Edited today on Ubuntu.

BlueStar Linux of ARCH is beautiful

BlueStar Linux of ARCH is beautiful.

I ran BluStar Linux on Box Utility of Gnome and it is really beautiful. It ran everything except Firefox (heavy duty) including Gnu Image manipulation, VLC and Open Office (latest 7.6) effortlessly.

I have no hesitation of recommending it to a newbie.

There is a BIG Problem!

It cannot configure Wireless Internet.

So I am going to erase it and install something else.

May be Endeavour OS.


LibreOffice 7.6...is Superb

 LibreOffice 7.6...is Superb

Yes, LibreOffice latest version in Ubuntu 21.10 is superb.

It detects and open AbiWord in Abi Format File without cutting and pasting its content into a LibreOffice office file.

I have not checked its other fancy capabilities until I finish my books.
