This week we're joined by Alan Pope of "Linux Matters" fame, among others. The conversation starts off with Snaps, Flatpaks, and the like - leading us into atomic desktops, and some shows we've been watching lately. Oh, and of course AI. All of this and a whole lot more!
This week we start out on Majid's not so great experience with Endeavour OS. This spirals out of control into a back and forth with Bill dying on the Arch Linux hill. We have discussions about Snaps, Flatpaks, Atomic Desktops, and a whole lot more!
Cryptocurrency, Block Chain, and the problems inherent to funding in Opensource. We solve the world's problems in one hour or less!
This is just an announcement about some changes to the way we deliver the episodes
I ain't gonna lie folks - this one's a train wreck, and you'll see for your self. We did get into a pretty cool conversation about game emulation. Bill ordered one of those little Linux based personal game pads which comes pre-installed with a staggering number of games. That erodes into a back and forth about stuff like D&D as well as Magic The Gathering. As the title suggests, it's a hot mess, but we had a lot of fun none the less. We were happy to see the return of Eric to the fold. Oh an...
Bill, Leo, and Majid get into first impressions of KDE Plasma 6. That conversation. We talk a little about the best (in our opinion) launchers for Linux desktops. We talk a little about our memories of Windows Vista, 7, and 8. Leo, and Majid hash it out over touchpad gestures. We get into an article on OMG Ubuntu about UXPlay, a tool for mirroring iOS on Linux. Bill talks a little about Xbox cloud gaming. We round it all off talking about music streaming platforms. All of this and lots more!
Just Bill and Majid this go-around. This week we get into a little bit of what has inevitably brought us back to stable distros. What we make of things like Arch and Manjaro. This all leads to a hypothetical discussion about packaging formats and big business. These things, and a whole lot more!
Well gee wiz we start by talking about food, and Bill's new medication. That morphs into a discussion about Docker, and Bill's recent experience with the Collabora CODE server image. We end up getting into the up-comming Plasma 6 release and some of the things we expect from the KDE desktop.
This week we're joined by a special guest. Dave Hart from 3 Fat Truckers joins us for a discussion about the future of technology in general, and how we interact with our devices.
It's just Eric and Bill for this one. From tech used in the trucking industry to a discussion about packaging formats and the culture around distributions like Arch Linux, this episode is all over the place. We had a good time though!
This week we get into the fun and frustrations of audio editing. We discuss some of the strategies and pitfalls specific to editing podcasts. That conversation somehow segways into mobile devices, AI, and other emerging technologies. All of that, and a whole lot more!
VR, iphones, Retro games, and our decaying interest in Marvel movies. All of this and a whole lot more!
This week we get into Majid's Feren OS. We talk a little about Plasma on Wayland. We reminisce about Windows Phone, and Blackberry. We go off the rails about Fedora, Gnome and the like. All of this as well as the usual banter!
It's Bill, Eric, and Leo this week. We get into some ideas about how to improve our Linux podcasts. We get into a a discussion about Snaps, the AUR, Markdown editors, and so much more!
Ok -- Let's try this again; No Norbert again this episode, but we get into all kinds of stuff. We talk about streaming platforms, ads on podcasts. We talk about stuff like super hero shows, dissecting the concept of the multiverse. We go back and forth over the value of using distros like Arch or Gentoo. We get into the time-honored conversation about convergence. All of this and so much more!
this is just a short clip to let everyone know I screwed up episode 17. I'm going to re-do it and re-release. I'm sorry for the inconvenience. Be expecting the new episode within the next 24 hours

This week Norbert couldn't make the show but we were joined by Majid, and Eric from mintCast fame. We get into discussions about bloat, Linux on mobile, user interfaces, and a whole lot more!
This week we get into some feedback as well as a discussion about system bloat, getting rid of it; and should we get rid of it. We get into Distrobox a little and discuss why it's different from other containerized application solutions. All of that and a whole lot more!
This week we're a man short, but we soldier on none the less. We continue our conversation about Red Hat's decision to limit access to their source code, and the impact that will no doubt have on the enterprise space. We also get into Fedora's recent "announcement" that they are considering working on building a frame work for "ethical telemetry." All that, and so much more!
This week we get into Red Hat's recent announcement that they're no longer going to provide direct access to their source code, potentially creating a problem for clones of Red Had Enterprise Linux, such as Alma Linux, or Rocky Linux.
This week we're completely "off the cuff." We get into Lemmy, a federated alternative to Reddit - which leads to a discussion about the fedaverse in general. We talk a little about Docker. We do a call-out to the community for some feedback on possible methods to support the show. We then get into some feedback from previous episodes, and a whole lot more!
"Off the rails" would be one way to describe this episode. We start off with a discussion about the progression of Wayland, which leads us into Hyprland, and Wlroots. We then evolve back into containerization and immutability - all of that and a whole lot more
This week we get into "immutable:" Linux distributions a bit. We talk a little about Fedora's Silverblue, and Kinoite projects, as well as a community spin that enables some additional functionality. A little feedback, and a whole lot more!
This week we get into some of our Nvidia woes. Bill has to switch to Arch (at least temporarily) Leo and Norbert may build a Gentoo system in the near future. We also get into a short discussion about a recent article in Ars Technica describing Google's desire to retire the "Https" padlock in the Chrome browser.
This week we talk a little about the new flathub.org as well as the winbtrfs project which brings the advantages of the Btrfs filesystem to the Windows world. We also get into the state of things with Wayland as well as Fedora, and so much more.
To call this episode an exercise in derailment is an understatement, but there you go. We go off about Cryptocurrency, Antenna TV, and Quickemu. We had a lot of fun. Don't forget to hit those "like" and "subscribe" buttons!
This week it's all about TikTok... just kidding. We get into the emotional rollercoaster that is the decisions by Docker inc. We also go nuts about the new 16 inch Frameworks laptop that is in the works for the future. Oh and we talk a bit about TikTok.
This week we go off the rails about Nextcloud again. Norbert installs and gets on with DAVx5. We talk about what we think "Linux is." As well as a whole lot more!
This week we start what we imagine will be a series on self-hosting. We go over some of the stuff we self-host and the methods we use. Norbert starts his journey in self-hosting where he describes the Nextcloud instance he recently built.
