Linux For Everyone

Welcome back! We have some serious catching up to do. Episode 45 kicks off with some big announcements about Tech For Everyone and a new platform I'm working for. Later, there's some nerdy spoken word about why we use and love the command line. Then we get into the Garuda Linux Community Challenge! The second half of the show features my interview with Thomas of Drauger OS.

This is a personal story about music, 30 years in the making. It's a cautionary, creative tale about creating. It's a warning that time is not on our side. It's here to motivate you, to fire you up, and to make you start DOING something you've probably wanted to do for years. Just don't make my mistake.

After Episode 43, it was time to have a serious discussion about the Linux community with my two favorite co-hosts. Linux + Coffee returns with both Schykle and Matt and the topic is a serious one: Gatekeeping, tribalism and toxicity in the Linux community. Why does it happen, and HOW do we deal with it? It's a thought-provoking conversation and we hope you enjoy it. Special Guests: MattDLN and Schykle (Clayton).

A stripped down episode, this is a heart-to-heart chat between me and you about the Linux community, burnout, detours, and things you never expect to face.

My friend MattDLN (aka "The Enabler") joins me for a gaming-soaked episode that even console players will enjoy. First we tackle what's possibly 2020's biggest gaming news: Microsoft purchasing Bethesda. How does PlayStation compete? How will Microsoft's bold move affect the overall gaming landscape. Then we bring some tough love to ProtonDB and the overall state of Linux gaming. Plus: Matt's Linux origins and a new Discovery of the Week! Special Guest: MattDLN.

This week there are 2 questions to ponder: Should Linux gamers be paying more attention to Razer? And where are all the affordable Linux laptops? Plus, a Discovery of the Week double feature to satisfy your window auto-tiling needs, and a brand new Song from the Source that'll rock your socks off with its infectious bass grooves, live drums and keyboards.

Schykle starts a bold experiment: using nothing but a cloud-based operating system to get all of his working and playing done. Get your head in the clouds as we discuss Neverware's CloudReady OS, which aims to turn ANY old PC or Mac into a Chromebook. Plus, Jason shares what Croatian coffee culture is like in a long overdue episode of Linux + Coffee. Raise your mug! Special Guest: Schykle (Clayton).

Along the way, of course we get sidetracked by talk of browser wars, favorite distros and sexy Linux hardware... WATCH this interview on...

Plus, a BUNCH of you emailed me with tips and suggestions about my Linux video editing situation and I've got an encouraging update! But we're just getting warmed up! On the back half, Linux has a quality control problem and our community is going to solve it! Then I'll close it out with some candid thoughts about just how much the Fedora-powered ThinkPad P53 is spoiling me rotten.
