From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
The open-source Godot game engine has worked its way up to the Godot 4.3 Beta 1 milestone with some exciting achievements.
First up, for Linux gamers, there is finally native Wayland support all set!
This has been a lot of work but all the architecural improvements are now in place and as part of this was also work for enabling OpenGL ES driver support on desktop devices.
Meanwhile for Windows gamers, the Godot 4.3 game engine has an optional Direct3D 12 back-end for those preferring D3D12 over Vulkan or OpenGL.
Godot 4.3 is also bringing a "huge improvement" the pixel stability for pixel art games, various Godot Editor improvements, and multiple rendering improvements.
Downloads and more details on the Godot 4.3 Beta 1 release via the announcement on GodotEngine.org.
