Linux Framebuffer, 16-bit support for dotnet devs

[sashakrsmanovic]

We continue to build bridges between .net developers and Linux. In the latest release we bring Framebuffer DPI scaling and the 16-bit mode support found in Raspberry Pi boards.

You can see some early work done with Pi from one of our community members here https://twitter.com/dotMorten/status/1551712808173072386

Just to be clear, this looks a lot like spam. Heck, it probably meets the definition of spam.

I approved this post, letting it through the system. I did so because I checked the links and the user disclosed their affiliation.

Thank you for allowing the post. Nah, we are legit. . We just need to be better in proactively reaching out to this community. i.e. Some time ago, just for fun and because we can , we ported Windows calculator to Linux. It was covered at a few places - i.e. https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2020/10/install-windows-calculator-ubuntu

We usually want people to be active members of the community before promoting their projects, but that's not something we're always sticklers about.

Hmm... For gits and shiggles, you'd probably get more notice if you ported Notepad. Hmm... Or Notepad++, now that I think about it. Though I guess you can kinda install it with a Snap now.

I don't think either of those was open sourced ,right? In theory we can quickly and easily port any project that is 1-open source and 2- written in C#.

LOL I don't think they are - but was Windows Calculator? I didn't think it was, so I figured when you said 'port' you were really just recreating.

It actually is https://github.com/microsoft/calculator

Oh, wow. That is neat.

See? I learned something today.

I'm waiting for my doctor to come see me. Yay.
