About

Over at LinuxNext i show you guys some of the latest releases of your favorite distro's, desktop environments, setting up games under proton and benchmark games to see how it compares to yucky windows with a sprinkle of my own opinions with everything to do with linux. I also do daily community posts showing the latest features and fixes that are arriving in linux either it be desktop, drivers, proton releases, applications or distro releases.
