PDF magazine: AMI Tech Gazette by Eric Schwartz
Eric Schwartz, known for his drawings and animations and equipped with his own Aminet category, has started publishing his own PDF magazine together with Michael Barclay at the beginning of this year. In the meantime, the third issue of AMI Tech Gazette has been published already at the title link.
The magazine is written in a personal style and thematically so broad that besides AmigaOS, AROS and MorphOS even an Atari game is reviewed in the current issue ("Combat"). The AMI Tech Gazette #2 is no longer linked on the website, but still readable via Archive.org.

Cross-Development: RADRunner
RADRunner supports the development of Amiga programs under other operating systems by waiting for the compiled programs on the Amiga side via network connection, without the requirement of a mounted file system, and then executing them.
A C++ 14 compiler is required. Besides the intended use, the reverse working direction, i.e. development on the Amiga and execution on another computer, would in itself also be possible.

Linux: Using Amiga software and imitating an Amiga desktop
Some time ago the hobby YouTube channel "Proteque - Classic Beige Nostalgia" showed in a video Experiencing that Amiga nostalgia on a modern Linux system, how on a computer with Debian installation an Amiga emulation is integrated into the desktop to use Amiga programs. In addition, the interface was adapted to the appearance of the Workbench. Many users then wanted to know how all this was done.
This is now explained in two further videos: part 1 shows how to integrate the Amiga software using FS-UAE and shared folders. Part 2, on the other hand, explains how to imitate the Amiga desktop.
