Emulator "Box64" has been updated to version 0.2.8. This update adds more Linux games able to be run on RISC-V, a hack that allows running DXVK on 32 bit games, reworked memory management, and more. Box64 is an emulator that allows you to run x_86 programs on ARM and RISC-V systems. The code is licensed using MIT. You can compile Box64 from source on Github; can install from the AUR; and you may find it available in certain distro repos.

Is anyone using cockpit-certificates and interested in taking over its development and maintenance?
It currently works; we've kept it on life support with CI, dependabot, and such, but it hasn't seen any real development in a long time.
If you are interested, please let us know on the issue and/or on Matrix @ https://matrix.to/#/#cockpit:fedoraproject.org
We are happy to provide guidance and help with PR reviews and such.
If nobody is interested, we'll archive the repository in two weeks.

I have been gaming since 1992 and building PCs since 2003. I enjoy Linux, supporting FOSS projects and am a tinfoil hat connoisseur.
Many FOSS projects rely on donations. If you have money to spare but don't know which to donate to take a look at the above links on Ko-fi, Github, and Open Collective. Anything on there that I have sponsered or contributed to is something I have found to be worthy.
