Taking Into Account, Ep. 11 - MS loves Linux, Ubuntu kernel patching, System76 Thelio, Steam survey
This weeks topics include:
0:38 Microsoft's love affair with Linux. It was inevitable! 8:38 Google Project Zero says Debian and Ubuntu put users at risk with slow kernel patching. 13:01 These 21 applications let you move easily between Windows and Linux. 20:55 Soon you will be able to pre-order System76's open-source Thelio computer. 25:56 September saw an increase in Steam Linux gaming marketshare. 29:44 I read an email from a viewer concerned about me and "burnout."
Sometimes, I ramble on for long periods of time in front of the camera. Today's video is a great example of this. I read a viewer email that asks several important questions regarding transitioning from "noob" to "power user", if distros matter, and if desktop environments matter.

This morning I got up and made me a cup of coffee. Then I sat down at my computer to see what was new on YouTube. One of my favorite Linux-related YouTube channels (OldTechBloke) posted a new video titled "Is It Time For Me To Retire My Channel?" It turns out that OTB is not quitting YouTube...but many creators do quit. And the reason is usually burnout! Here's some of my thoughts on burnout and how to combat it.

While dmenu is a great way to launch your programs, dmenu is much more than just a run launcher. You can have shell commands output to dmenu. This makes dmenu a fantastic tool to incorporate into your shell scripts.

So many people that install Arch Linux for the first time do so by following videos, articles or blog posts. These sorts of guides are a great resource for those looking for help with the Arch installation. But whatever you do, don't tell the Arch community that you installed Arch using these!

Do you still place icons on your desktop? If so, stop! This isn't 1990. Desktop icons are a paradigm of the very distant past that no longer make sense on modern operating systems and modern desktop environments. Boomer rant incoming!

One of the common questions people often ask is "How can I ensure my Internet safety?" They typically ask this because they claim to feel "unsafe" at times on Internet forums, online communities, social networks, etc...

I'm taking a quick look at the recently released Pop!_OS 21.04 with their COSMIC desktop. COSMIC is a set of customizations that makes GNOME much more palatable. In fact, Pop!_OS COSMIC might be the best GNOME-based Linux distro. It could even be argued that Pop!_OS might be the best desktop Linux distro period.

Every few weeks, I get the sudden urge to do some bash scripting. Today, I'm going to create a simple bash script that uses dmenu to search an offline copy of the Arch Wiki. Follow along with me, and we should be able to knock this script out in under 30 minutes.

Streamlabs is in the news today due to several companies claiming that Streamlabs copied their work. Those companies include Lightstream, Elgato and OBS, the maker of the free and open source Open Broadcaster Software. Additionally, OBS claims that Streamlabs is using the OBS name without their permission.
