[magazine] Short Steam article
by Stuart Brady
Hello everyone,
At this week's meeting, Paul and Ryan asked me to work on a short article
about the gaming platform Steam as you can now install it as a Flatpak
<http://flatpak.org> app using Flathub <http://flathub.org>. Unfortunately,
I've hit a couple of problems. BTW I understand this isn't Stack Overflow
and my rookie mistakes might be a little frustrating!
Anyway, after I'd set up Flatpak/Flathub, I installed Steam using Gnome
Software (which appears to be recommended). However, I couldn't run Steam
after installation because I was missing some drivers (see screenshot).
When I couldn't find the drivers on the internet, I uninstalled Steam and
used these instructions
<https://linuxconfig.org/installing-steam-on-fedora-25-linux> to install
Steam the normal way to check if it worked. That was fine and, ironically,
told me how to fix my driver problem at the same time.
The problem I have now is that I can't install Steam at all using Gnome
Software. The install button disappears after I click it, only to reappear
a few moments later, and the download % bar doesn't appear at all. It works
fine when I install Steam with Flathub at the command line, though.
What I need is someone to check that they can install and run Steam using
Flathub and Gnome Software. I then could write the article once I know it
works, but, to be fair, I'd feel a bit of douche writing something knowing
I couldn't get it to work properly myself!
Apologies for the hassles,
Stu Brady

[magazine] [new series] Kubernetes and Fedora
by Justin W. Flory
Hey all,
I've been doing some work with Kubernetes lately, and thought it would
be a cool idea to run a series related to Kubernetes and Fedora targeted
towards beginners on the Magazine. The series starts by introducing key
concepts of Kubernetes and works its way towards hands-on activities.
I was hoping to make this a 3-4 part series. I have the first two
articles drafted and finished, although I'm still waiting for technical
feedback / review on the second. They're a little lengthy, so I wouldn't
mind having another couple of folks review for style / simplicity too.
=== Article 1: Introduction to Kubernetes with Fedora ===
This first post is an introduction to what Kubernetes is and what some
of the key concepts are.
https://fedoramagazine.org/?p=17814&preview=1&_ppp=f2a9273120
From a technical standpoint, this one should be set, but if there's
anyone on the list that could technical review, I definitely wouldn't
mind another set of eyes. :)
=== Article 2: Clustered computing on Fedora with Minikube ===
This second post shows you how to build a single-node Kubernetes
deployment on your own computer.
https://fedoramagazine.org/?p=17823&preview=1&_ppp=414b450e7b
Still waiting for a technical review on this one, but should be mostly
good. I was able to follow these steps on my F25 install.
= = =
I haven't decided on ideas for a third or fourth article yet, but if we
space these out over two weeks, I'm fairly certain I'll have an idea by
then.
Any feedback or comments are welcome! Thanks.
