TIL about vipe

`vipe` is a tool to run an editor in a Unix pipelines like `... | vipe | ...`. I wanted to write something like this myself to inspect pipelines like `curl ... | sh` until I realized that this exists. It's contained in the `moreutils` package in Ubuntu and Fedora.

Maybe it's useful for someone else.

What would linux to be the spiritual successor to?

Hey, consider that Linux has evolved throughout the years. I remember that there were a few games to run in Linux, and that has changed since. I have had better success running older windows games on Linux than the current windows. So I want to ask what you guys would consider Linux as the spiritual successor to (Amiga or Atari ST), since both of those went against Ibm-compatiable PC and Mac.

Hope the new 20.04 releases are will include mmx64.efi and save us Acer users a lot of trouble!

As you all know this particular OEM sucks when it comes to installing Linux on it's laptops.
The BIOS is complete mess.
And I had really bad time trying to put some distributions on my laptop.
They just don't start because that thing is missing.
I hope people involved in the development can see this and do something about it because for newcomers it will be a deal breaker and will leave the wrong impression about Linux.

What is the state of webcam driver support on Linux ?

Hi all ! Having time to spare in this self isolating situation, I was trying to read up on webcam drivers and it seems this is mainly provided by the [UVC project](http://www.ideasonboard.org/uvc/). Looking at the [git repo](https://git.linuxtv.org/pinchartl/uvcvideo.git/) however it doesn't seem to be updated recently (I might be looking at the wrong repo). Does this mean that UVC no longer has any active maintainers ?

How come there have been to updates to the [USB UVC](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_video_device_class) specification since 2012 ? Are things moving to a new direction ?

Thanks !

Bridging the anti-cheat gap

Hello! Most Linux gamers know we can use Wine to run Windows programs on Linux. But so far we are mainly limited by the games usage of anti-cheat.

From what I understand, Wine somehow 'translates' the Windows system calls (like to User32.dll?) into the equivalent Linux system call. This is also why Wine can't handle Windows drivers as they need to be running in a full-blown environment. This is the brick wall stopping a lot of AAA multiplayer games from running on Linux.

I know most popular anti-cheats like EasyAntiCheat and BattleEye have native Linux versions, but Wine has no way of using these. I want to try bridging the gap by translating a games anti-cheat driver calls to the native Linux driver. Fingers crossed that's enough to make these games work🤞

It sounds easy enough, but I have little experience doing this kind of stuff 😂

Please post whatever you think will help! This could prove useful for the next guy even if I'm unsuccessful.
