== In Other News ==

=== Ubuntu Looks To Improve Its Windows Installer ===

Michael Larabel of Phoronix writes about discussions during the Ubuntu
Developer Summit regarding Wubi, the technology used to install Ubuntu
as a partition within an existing Windows installation. Larabel writes
that plans include "support for burning to a USB stick, integrated CD
burning of Ubuntu, a visual refresh to the user-interface, and better
uninstall support" and goes on to highlight a wish list item of
"having Wubi be able to handle a full-disk encrypted Windows
installation."

=== Hybrid Graphics In Ubuntu Are Still Lackluster ===

Michael Larabel of Phoronix discusses the current dismal support for
hybrid graphics in Linux. One of the most interesting points raised is
that kernel developers are blocking proprietary drivers from using
DMA-BUF which effectively locks out proprietary drivers from being
supported with hybrid graphics.

=== Canonical Is in a Partnership with Valve and Unity Technologies ===

Jason Warner gives a UDS-R interview about one of the most important
Linux collaborations. He outlines how the Valve, Unity Technologies,
and Canonical are working on a daily basis to bring big games to
Linux. Even if you're not a gamer, it is clear that this is a 'big
deal' for Ubuntu and is one more step to crossing the chasm.
