Alright. for the old school business model of downloading a paid for binary off the internet their basically the best option other than a deb or rpm file. +However this does not mean that their the best option for the end user. The biggets advantage the AppImage format has compared to snaps and even flatpaks is that AppImages support a manual upgrade process. How is this an advantage? Well that means you can find a version of kdenlive that works for you, and just stay on that one version of kdenlive. +The tradeoff is of course that same upgrade process of course. However the AppImage API does account for this, as evidenced by Bitwarden which will prompt to update. Plus the [third party tooling](https://github.com/AppImageCommunity/awesome-appimage) around AppImage is far and away better handled than flatpak and snap. +Personally, I do use AppImages. However I do wish the spec handled dropping a desktop file in /home/$user/.local/share/applications and not have to use a tool like AppImageLauncher (which has a systemd requirement) or a script to do it. +That said, I do actually have an appimage that contains st and firefox because sometimes thigns do break. And I even have a proprietary binary I package myself as an appimage so I dont have to use a Ubuntu docker image on my desktop. +That said, AppImages handle system theming, accessibility features, much better than flatpak and snaps. But that's because AppImage didn't take a "Secure By Default" approach it's competitors have. +Also Matt for the record, this is not a Gentoo Install stream. However I think thats fine as I have slowly and steadily been entering...

I'm your host, Matt. +And I'm Josh. +I don't know who I am, I just landed. +You're the tire. +That was the worst intro ever. Josh forgot that he was going second because he's not used to it +because I changed the order. Steve forgot his name and Tyler's just there waiting for somebody to +please say their name. +I just landed this morning so I'm just jet lagged. +It's fine. +You didn't even go that many time zones, did you? It was like what, one time zone over? +Yeah, one time zone over, but walking and not realizing that we were one hour behind over there. +Last week when I was supposed to be on the podcast, as I promised, I was walking down the street back +to my Airbnb. I was like, shit, I had to be on the podcast. I'm not going to run. +You didn't make it. That's okay. We had a good time talking about AI. Anyway, so this is the +Linux cast despite the horrible beginning. You guys should really be used to these really bad +beginnings. We never get off to a good start, but that's okay. They're fun. +If you guys were tuning into this podcast for us to be professional and prepared, +man, did you choose the wrong podcast? Especially today. We spent the first part of the talking +about definitely not wearing pants. It's just been a really, really long day because we had to watch +somebody get a habit. There's a reason why this camera angle is blurred out. +Anyways, this is the Linux cast. We talk about Linuxy things. Last week we did a +wonderful podcast on artificial intelligence where we argued constantly for two hours. +If you haven't listened to that or watched it yet, go back and do so because it was very, +very good. We have decided that every fourth episode, we're going to be doing one of those +topic-based episodes instead of doing the news on that episode. We'll be rotating who gets to +choose the topics, so it should be fun. We've also decided that we're going to do a challenge +again. Tyler has been thinking hard, I'm very sure, about the challenge that we're going to +be doing, and he'll let us know that probably when he actually thinks about it for the first time. +I've thought about it, but good ideas take a while to shape. +It's ruminating. +It's all right. If he doesn't come up with a challenge, I've got a challenge for you guys, +too. We're not installing Linux from scratch. +It's worse. It's called if you do one thing wrong, the whole system blows up on you. +Suicide Linux? Yep. +Not doing suicide Linux. Anyways, we have a challenge that'll be coming up probably in a +couple months. We're going to be doing some new things a little bit, but anyways, today we're +returning back to normal. We're going to do some news. We've got some good topics. We've got some +topics that I'm going to sleep through. I'm not going to mention who's, probably mine, +but we have some topics. First, as we always do, we're going to start out with what we've +been doing this week in Linux and open source. Steve, I know you've been away. Have you managed +to accomplish anything with your Linux this week? Yeah, I was battling Linux to remember how to do +things because after three or four days of not doing anything, I received a lot of notifications +about AUR packages being updated that I host on my repos. I need to build those packages. +I turn on my MacBook because it's a VM on my MacBook. That's all I took with me on the trip. +How do you build packages already? Oh, that's how you do it. I had to remember a few things. +I got disconnected completely, and then I didn't do anything in Linux. When I landed this morning +at 2 a.m., I needed to do a few things because I couldn't sleep. I was like, how do I pick my ISO +again? It's fine. To put it in simple words, when you stay away from Linux too long, especially +when you're used to doing things in a certain way, you forget everything. It's so weird, +but I didn't do much other than building packages and pushing them to my repos because +I was supposed to be at my sister's wedding, not doing Linux stuff. +You're not the type of nerd who brings your laptop to the wedding so you can sit in the back row +doing things instead of paying attention? No, I just took my phone to shoot a wedding video +Yeah, I definitely would have taken the laptop. I wouldn't have went to the wedding in the first +place. I wanted to, but the wedding was in church. I couldn't take my laptop to church. +They ain't stopping me. I'd cry. That's my comfort animal. +I understand because it is for me as well, but I follow the rules. +All right, Josh, what have you been doing? +I've been slowly working on getting banned from yet another subreddit, this time R slash Fedora, +because Fedora pushed out a kernel update or a Mesa update last weekend, which of course +means that everybody that was using the Mesa free world driver had to deal with a package +conflict between Mesa and Mesa free world. For those that don't know what Mesa is, Mesa is +basically just a library front end for your GPU's hardware driver. Specifically, this stems all +the way back to the H.264 codec, which Fedora removed for legal reasons. As a result, the RPM +Fusion guys, they built a package called Mesa free world, which re-enables the H.264 and H.265 codecs. +Well, the big problem is that whenever Fedora pushes an update, Fedora only supports Fedora, +not RPM Fusion, even though there's some Fedora maintainers that work off of RPM Fusion. +The big difference is that Fedora triggers all of their package updates off of their source build +tool. RPM Fusion is actually behind Fedora. They're not kept up in parity because RPM +Fusion only triggers their package builds after Fedora publishes their builds. So as a result, +the Mesa free world package on RPM Fusion was not actually updated to be in version number parity +with Mesa, which caused DNF, the package manager, to do the thing responsible and go like, hey, +I'm not going to update this package because you have this package installed. But to pull this +update in, you can totally run this command here and replace that package that I don't know +anything about with this package that I want to install, which is causing everybody on +slash r slash fedora to go and say, hey, Mesa free world is broke. And I'm sitting here typing in +everybody. This only affects you if you're using an AMD GPU, specifically AMD GPU, and if you +actually do anything with the actual encoder, because in your web browser, guess what's not +actually being used? True. So there's a very small percentage of people that actually need the Mesa +free world codec. And I have to keep explaining that to these people because this guy goes, +I need it for my Steam games. There's no games on Steam that need that because it rasterizes +most videos. DXVK, the Vulkan protocol that we use to translate from Direct3D, +rasterizes all the videos that play back to you. So there is no need for the coding. +Really, if we're being honest, most people are just upset about a package conflict that +shouldn't be there. I mean, it's a package conflict that is there for a good reason. +It's just that it's stupid how RPM Fusion actually builds their packages, but at the same time, +it's kind of understandable. And games also use the Bink, whatever thingy, to play the FMVs in +the games. So it's its own thing. That said, the main reason why I'm saying that your web browser +is probably not using it is because by default, most web browsers don't support it because video +conferencing software like, say, Zoom, even Jitsi in this case, don't actually hard force the browser +to default to software encoding, whereas services like YouTube might actually use the hardware +decoding. So there's a guy in chat right now. I finally learned his name is actually Alex. +That's how you pronounce it. It's Alex. But he says that he's using hardware decoding to watch +his stream right now, which is perfectly understandable. But if you're using Chromium, +you're using software encoding because Chromium and the WebKit or like those Blink-based browsers +don't support hardware decoding. So what you're saying is that you've been spending your time +in on a Reddit sub on a sub Reddit trying to get banned. I'm surprised that you haven't been banned +already. I'm just a little bit of a shock there that you hadn't, I mean, haven't already crossed +that one off your burn bridges list. How do you still have a Reddit account? I might say that he's +losing his touch. Yeah, definitely. Speaking of bridges. I mean, if you want to talk about +a discussion forum I did get banned from. Of course, there's got to be one. Yeah, there's +at least one a week now. All right, Tyler, what have you been doing this week? Well, +so for the past, for the past week, been working a lot with everyone over on my channel, +ironing out ideas and writing a game document for the game that we're making. The whole idea, +because I know some people will get confused. I've got another dev log. That's going to be +like the actual like part one with a lot of substance in it. That one's going to come out +here soon and I'll explain it, but we're using unity and well, I mean, unity uses C sharp, +but we're using unity and a whole bunch of like prebuilt or not prebuilt, but +pre done assets that I've purchased over the past few years. I've got literally hundreds of dollars +worth of assets all in the same style. So we're going to use all of those to build out a really +good first person survival game. And yeah, if you want to learn more, we've got a game document +and we're working on it and everything over on the channel. I'll probably probably be live +streaming later on today. Maybe not. I might just work off camera for some reason, but probably +we'll stream. But yeah, the whole goal is to take this game, make it because we're using like +assets that I've bought before. Like this one is not going to be open source, but the whole +idea is to get a very polished gameplay loop, a very polished gunplay and base building +and really iron out the solo experience. And then hopefully if this game sells well and everything, +I'll be able to afford to hire or contract out 3d artists to model us a whole bunch of +newer assets for us and in a little bit of a higher detail style. And yeah, hopefully make a +new version multiplayer in a different engine that is open source, but really want to iron out and +get everything working right and the leverage the assets that I have. Look at you doing big boy +things. Trying, trying. We'll see how it goes, but so far it's going really well. I'll be the first +to test it. I'll be the first to test it. Word. I would die within two seconds of actually playing +it. I'm horrible at first person shooters. I'm like really astonishingly bad. Well, it will be +a more arcade style. We still haven't implemented the actual like gun like bullet physics and +everything. So we're not, not exactly sure how we're going to do that. We might do a raycast +system where you just fire a straight line out from the gun itself or the camera. You can do it +either way. Fire a straight line out to a certain distance or whatever, or we could actually spawn +in like an actual bullet object and send it using physics, but that can be a little accurate, like +inaccurate at higher speeds. And that one, like it also has bullet drop, like it's more realistic +and stuff, but it's harder to implement. And also I don't know that everyone who's going to play the +game wants like a PUBG realistic bullet physics in the game. Realistic. Did you put PUBG and +realistic in the same sentence? Well, their bullet drop is pretty accurate. I'll admit that I've +never played PUBG in my life. So same here. It's pretty easy. I just watch people play it. I am +such a horrible gamer. Cities Skylines and Hearthstone, man. That's literally all I play. +All right. So for me personally, I trolled everybody by installing Windows this week +and then posted it everywhere. I saw that picture and I was really taking it back and I was +trying to read who posted it. Is it really the Linux cast who posted it? I did it for a reason. +I've got some applications that I need to test that are only available on Windows. So I +spun up a VM. I did not install it on hardware. Also installing Windows still just as of a shit +experience as it has been for the last 30 years. This is so bad. I think it's actually gotten worse. +I was actually going to say that. I'm surprised you didn't say it. +You guys know that the beginning screen, you get into the ISO and it has a beginning screen +where it says install Windows, right? That one window has elements from every single +version of Windows that has ever existed. It has the Windows 95 scroll bar. It has the arrow +title bar at the top from Windows 7 or from Windows Vista. Every single part of that, +they almost have certainly had to do that on purpose. There's no way they did that on accident. +They're doing it on purpose because they want to tell you that this is a culmination of all +these. I still honestly believe that Arrowglass was the best Windows theme. +It was all right. It was pretty, but if you ever played, if you ever used Vista when it first came +out, man, what's that thing? I'm talking about Arrowglass. That's Windows 7. Are you talking +about the... Arrow is Vista. Arrowglass is 7. I personally do like the new look of Windows 11 +without all of the extra bullshit. If they kept the exact same style as Windows 7 layout and +everything with just the curved rounded corners and I don't know, I kind of like it more, +but I've always been a rounded borders guy, but let's be honest, no matter what, +when it comes to Linux or Windows, the whole reason they don't have the actual installer +looking cohesive is the same reason why the actual OS has two fucking control centers, +which will never make sense to me, but it's just out of sheer laziness. You've got to go in and +delete code. The most trippy thing is if you've used Windows for a long time and you know to go +into something like the device manager or something like that, some of that stuff is +literally from Windows 98, and when you get into Windows 11, it all of a sudden has rounded +corners. Those two things just do not go together. Also, they don't match the system theme at all. +In the Windows 10 days, it didn't match and it looked outdated, but it wasn't as glaringly +obvious. Now, it is like, oh my gosh, dude, if you have a dark theme on and you open up any +of those programs, you're like, what the hell are you doing, Microsoft? What's happening? +Oh yeah, and a context menu being triggered by other context menus. +Yeah, because they've got the old context menu. Anyways, I installed Windows in a VM +and found out that Windows runs garbage in a VM unless you go through a ton of steps in order +to get it to actually work. Once you turn off animations, you can actually skip a lot of the +other stuff because it actually does start actually functioning, but if it decides it's +going to start searching the file system, it doesn't matter how much memory you give that +thing. It's going to take every bit of it you give it. God, Windows is horrible. +Anyways, that's basically what I've been doing. I think since last week, I did end up reinstalling +Arch Linux because I messed up again, but I'm back on it now. I got everything back set up and it +works just fine. And then I've been spending more time. And your experience with Endeavor OS, +I followed. I read your rentitutes. I still have an Endeavor in a VM. I'm actually using it right +now to do all my stuff. I decided just to do that instead of... I will give Endeavor OS this. They do +a very pretty XFCE, even though I changed every single thing that they did, so I guess it doesn't +really matter. All right, let's go ahead. Out of the box experience, but I saw your rentitutes. +I'm not using Solus, man. Not a good distro. I can't really judge that because I haven't +used it in ages, but when I used it last, it was not a good distro. And it just changed it too +much, man. We've had this argument. It doesn't matter. All right, let's go ahead and jump on +into the news. I don't know what that was, although I just completely had a stroke. +There was a glitch somewhere. Tyler, why don't you give us your first news item of the week? +My first one is our phone. It's a fully open source smartphone based on Linux. +So we have probably the greatest invention here. What it is is what looks to be +the plywood or cardboard. It's MDF. +The plywood. Yeah. So we've got a plywood shell with one of those cheap-ass touch, +like Raspberry Pi touchscreens, a Raspberry Pi in it, and a 4G modem. So +um, yeah, it's a phone. Definitely not waterproof. Oh my God. +That is definitely the most, rolls the most pocketable phone. Well, almost certainly smaller +than it looks like in the picture, don't you? It almost has to be, right? Yeah. Yes. To be honest, +this probably is decently pocketable, but if we're being honest, there is no way that this thing is +going to do well with pocket lint. Like you're going to have to be fully disassembling this thing +and cleaning it like a mofo. Canned air every single day. Yeah. And also, +like, look, if you wanted to do something super custom and you're on a budget and you want +something that like can function as a phone, like this would definitely work. And this is a cool +project to do. However, this thing is going to be slow as shit. Oh my God. Look at the internals. +Yep. That's it. That's some really good cable management there, bro. This is only cheaper +if you already have a Raspberry Pi. If you don't have the Raspberry Pi needed for this, +it's cheaper just to buy a pine phone. Wait. And you get arguably a better product. +So does this- so there's gonna be like an external antenna modem or whatever for +getting cellular connection and stuff like that? Wouldn't that be like- +Or in the phone. Yeah, it's part of the 4G hat that they're using. +I'm just looking at the internals, man. I'm just completely shocked by that. +That's direct. So the little green board directly to the left of the Raspberry Pi, +like with it all taken apart, that little green board there is the 4G modem +or 4G hat, whatever you want to call it. So like, I mean, it also, I mean, like, look, +it does have a camera. Like it's, it is a phone for like, for all intents and purposes. +It was built to be feature complete for 2010. Yeah. +Doesn't the Raspberry Pi get like super hot? +I think you use a Pi 3 in this, not a Pi 4. +Oh, okay. Well, even the Pi 4 doesn't get super hot. +I mean, yes, it does get hot, but really in all honesty, as long as you're not like, +as long as you're not trying to play a YouTube video on it. +As long as you don't have the screen on, it's perfectly fine. +It's not even that. Like as somebody that actually has a Raspberry Pi 4, +you actually don't need a fan for the Raspberry Pi 4. The only time you actually need a fan is +if you're actually going to be like using the device for like heavy CPU tasks. +Okay. +I mean, also like you can, for literally like 10 or $12, you can get a little CPU, +like heat sink block with a tiny like 10 or 20 millimeter fan on it. Like fine. +Would it fit in the case though? +That case probably actually. +No, no, no, no, no. Wait a minute. Is that a fan at the top or is that a speaker? +Oh, that's a speaker. I was going to say, I thought I was like, maybe there is already is a. +But you also got to realize that speaker, uh, as far as I can tell, it goes on the side. +So you're holding it up like one of the old phones that are that yeah. +It's like the Motorola brick. +Yeah. Like this is a chunky, this is a chunky phone. +Like again, it, this is a really cool project phone. +The only thing that worries me about it is someone is probably going to see this project +and go, that is perfect. And just start buying parts and then build it and realize +that there's not much they can do with it because it's a raspberry pie. +Also, you can't carry it with you. I mean, there's absolutely no way you could take this out +and have rain be a potential, you know, have it up into your car, +your head when it's raining outside. +I didn't even think about that. +The case would basically just melt in your hands if that happened. +Also, imagine taking a phone call out in the rain with this thing. +The, oh, the boards start getting soggy. +And I mean, I mean, seriously, because it's so big, it's going to be unwieldy to hold up to your +head. So if you have a tablet, it's a tablet on your head. +No, no, no, you'd be better off holding a tablet. This thing's also thick. +So it's not just big. It's also true. +So I mean, it had to be really well put together because if you drop that thing, +it's just going to come apart in little pieces. +Also, I didn't even think about this. You could totally +convince someone that you're like a time travel time traveler if you if you took this phone out +with like stop taking a call and put it down, like like brought it down +and then ask someone what year it was like, oh, I'm done. +I'm convinced you're from the few like someone using a plywood phone. +They probably think that's the time machine, the time machine. +That's the time machine to the to the past of cell phones. +The one bright side is that today I learned that they make 4G LTE hats for the pie. +Yeah, I didn't know that either. +I wonder how much just if you wanted to buy one of those things, how much it would cost. +I have I have a Raspberry Pi 4. +I think you're in the range of like 60 to 80 bucks. +I'm pretty sure. +So the the 4G modem would cost more than the pie if the pie weren't being scalped by for +a sign of money. +Yeah, yeah, that's not it is 82 pounds for the 4G hat. +I found that off of the pie hut, which is UK store. +It would still be pretty cool. +Like, let's say you wanted to have like a weather station or something like that, +like a mile away from your house. +You couldn't pick up Wi Fi, but you could have like a weather station there and you +could do it that way. +That'd be pretty cool. +I mean, there'd be definitely be some music for that. +And if you add a 4G hat, for example, and you want to set up, let's say a balcony computer, +a small balcony computer when it's not raining on me. +The problem with setting up any Raspberry Pi as a computer or a phone is it literally +doesn't even have the horsepower to play a 720p video. +Well, that's right. +They're good. +They're they're good because they don't have the hardware acceleration. +The Pi actually does have a hardware hardware acceleration and it can play back 720p. +It's just that it can't do 720p 60 FPS. +It can do 30 FPS. +Well, but like that, that's my point. +Like, as soon as you start, as soon as like, and also if you take it up to 1080p 30, +it's strong. +Like, I mean, technically speaking on paper, even then that's just YouTube. +If it's local media playback, it can, it can do 1080p. +There are many boards that surpass that, that Raspberry Pi, that Raspberry Pi Raspberry +Pi now is of the past, unless you want to do the small things. +Now more powerful boards exist, not for the same price, but with the way it's being scalped +today, you can find cheaper today. +You can find cheaper boards that have more powerful hardware, but you might not be able +to find one with the same level of software software support. +And that's the big deal with that's the biggest problem. +Yeah. +But with the Orange Pi, Orange Pi is almost as popular as. +Well, the only reason the Orange Pi is very popular is because it's, it's literally a +board knockoff. +Like it's pretty much one-to-one compatibility. +So, but yeah, because the Orange Pi doesn't support POE, which is one thing that I'm really +looking forward. +My, my point was, is that the, the reason why the Raspberry Pi has always been good +wasn't because it was willing to come in and replace your desktop computer, but because +it was really good at doing single use things like a weather station or. +Or retro gaming. +Again, like, and like to bring it back to this article in this use case, it doesn't make sense +because sure local media playback, it's going to be fine for pretty much, you know, any +reasonable quality, especially on the screen that you're going to be playing the media on. +It's going to be fine. +Well, it's not, it's not even that it's the battery life. +Well, that's the real. +This would have made a lot more sense if it was a dumb phone, instead of trying to be +a smartphone, if they just made it just a phone, just like all it did was make phone +calls and I had like a. +Yeah, we already have Linux based smartphones that are fully open source. +So display or something like that, just so you could, you know, see the numbers or whatever. +And that's all it did. +First of all, it wouldn't have to be as thick. +Second of all, you know, it wouldn't have to be, you know, it wouldn't, it wouldn't be, +it wouldn't be as cool. +Don't get me wrong. +No, no, no, no. +Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. +This is using a Raspberry Pi 4. +It's using a Pi 3. +3, Pi 3. +Pi 3. +Okay. +Probably can't get a 4. +Pi 3. +Why not use the Pi 3 has a version that is just a slim thing. +You'd have even less horsepower then. +Yeah. +Yeah. +And, and also again. +Would a Pico run it through the screens? +I don't know. +Can you, can Pico even run a display? +Yes. +The, well, I know the Pi, I believe the Pi 0.3. +I don't know if they have a new version of the Pi 0, but I'm pretty sure though. +2W, yeah. +There's Pi 3.0, the W version. +I'm pretty sure last time I looked at it, it had a, I think it's like a micro HDMI port +or like whatever, like, you know, mini HDMI micro. +Yeah, the, the, the, the Pi, Pi 0.2W. +It's also, it's also possible that the Pico doesn't run well with the 4G hat. +You know, it's. +That's true. +That's true. +They could be, it could be. +I'm sure, I'm sure there's some level of processing that's kind of required for that. +And those Pi 0s have, I mean, they are just. +Then if you, if you go back. +Yeah, the Pi 0 does support HDMI. +If you go, if you go back to the, this, the, the exploded view here, +all the stuff that they're plugging into that thing probably wouldn't all fit into a. +Oh, that is also true. +I don't think it has camera board and everything like that. +But I can't believe they even included the camera. +I think the important thing to remember about this design and why all of the other +Linux phones that are on the market are pretty much worthless compared to this is they're all +made out of garbage materials that try to protect the inside of the components. +This thing is made out of plywood. +Like if you break it, who cares? +You can just build another one in five minutes. +No, cause if you, if you break this thing, something inside is going to get broken too. +I mean, cause there, there's no padding for any of that stuff. +It's going to get knocked into each other. +It's fine. +The only thing that's not replaceable is the Raspberry Pi itself because you can't buy them. +Right. +Well, so here's the, here's the, cause they don't really show the ends. +Excuse me. +Do they leave the article does link to the, to the guy that created its write up as +what she links to a GitHub that has a listing of all the parts. +Do they leave the IO exposed so you can have like a USB port on the end of your phone? +No. +Have it awesome. +Just plug in like a printer or something. +I didn't even think about that would be pretty cool. +Just to have an opening on your phone. +And then if you want to hook up to a display because the, +they probably use the well, no, cause there'd be using, +is there an internal display? +Is that how they're hooking up to the displays? +If they were using Raspberry Pi four, there'd be two display port or two display outputs. +So they could use one for the, well, the internal screen is actually hooked up on the board. +So that HDMI port is free. +Yeah. It's a, it's using the, it's using the embedded display port header for the touchscreen. +Yeah. So you could just put this on your thing, use this as a +regular Pi help cook to a monitor as well. +Not only that, if on the page where, on his write up, he has more pictures and I'm looking at one, +the volume is a volume knob. +Oh, it's a natural knob. All right. +That's so, so first of all, I know we're taking the Mickey out of this in some +place, but this would be, you can just see like a kid in like high school or something like that +with, with the science fair thing doing this. That'd be awesome. +Yeah. +He'd win. +If I had this, if I had this in like middle school to like early high school, +oh, this shit would have been dope. +He's getting all the girls by the way. +Dude, no, like I wouldn't, I wouldn't have seen a girl for like +ever holding one. Dude, could you imagine trying to pick up a girl with this thing? +Can I get your number? +You're also going to think about this. The touchscreen, like there is 99% chance. +It's a resistive touch screen type in her phone number. +Give me a second here. +Screen. +God, do you remember the resistive tight screens on like the PDAs and stuff that you used to have? +Oh man. +Oh my God. Every time you press with the, with the stylus, +it created this rainbow effect that. +Yeah. +Fun onwards. +I actually have a, a 12 inch touchscreen that was resist resistive touchscreen. +And I actually used to use it as like a dedicated Google calendar. +That thing was so bad. +I have a Dell PDA running around your summer that had a resistive touch screen. +I had the best game I've ever played on it. +It's just, it was back when it was like that ball popping game, +but it was one of the best ones ever. It was great. +Oh, it has a stylus. It has a stylus locked, locked the power switch. +Oh my God. The power switches. +When I saw this story that Tyler put in here, I was like, you know, +we're going to spend like three and a half minutes on this thing. +We just nerded out for like 20 minutes on this is awesome. +It's very, the wonderful thing is the wonderful thing is because this, +this case is made out of MDF, which, +which does have a consistency of cardboard and paper in it. +That means that you can use a standard pencil to write down your phone number. +That way you remember. +Oh my, that is actually really cool. +That is actually really cool. +Like you don't need, you just write the phone numbers +of the people you want to call around the phone. +Yep. +There's no need, there's no need for a contacts application +because the case itself is the contact list. +It would be cool to see like a version two of this that wasn't MDF, +but instead was made out of 3D printed, 3D printed plastic. +Cause then it would be a little bit more sturdy. +It'd still be just as big. +You're not going to make this thing smaller. +Yeah, it's fine. +Yeah, because it's a Raspberry Pi. +Yeah, unless you could find a way to use a Pico. +I do vote that we move on before we continue joking about this for the next hour. +We could definitely. +All right, Josh, why don't you take us to the next one? +All right, all right. +I imagine that this is going to trigger somebody, +but there is a proposal out there for the Fedora KDE spin of Fedora, obviously. +To drop X11 support entirely. +And just go Wayland only. +This was just posted. +This was just posted two days ago by Neil Gamba, the KDE maintainer for Fedora. +And he posted a merge request upstream in Plasma to set Wayland +to be the default session for SDDM. +It's coming, guys. +The biggest hurdle for this is actually SDDM, by the way. +Well, not actually. +Not actually. +I tried SDDM-GIT, like Josh recommended before I traveled. +It didn't even work. +I was still not able to log in to Wayland. +So I was like, through that. +Yeah, like I said, SDDM is the biggest hurdle because SDDM is garbage. +It's bad. +Yeah. +Like it doesn't work half the time. +So it's like DM. +So it's like DM. +That's true. +For 30% of the people, then 70%, it doesn't work. +It's fine. +It's Fedora. +Fedora will make it work and then make everybody else jealous that Fedora has it working, +but nobody else does. +Nobody else can. +That does can. +Why can I log in to Wayland on GNOME using GDM and I cannot log in with anything else? +SDDM in traditional KDE fashion tries to do both Wayland and XORG at the same time, +whereas GDM sets the Wayland by default and you have to change it. +I do know that if you log into, if you're using the Fedora KDE spin and you log into +Plasma using Wayland, there is no X11 fallback in it right now. +So if you want to use a Wayland-only session, you can do that with a Fedora KDE. +That's just because the maintainer for it has worked diligently hard on the Wayland +support for Fedora. +So props to Neil if this actually happens and it actually works. +I do have to be honest. +They have really good arguments. +He has slaved way hard to get KDE ported to Wayland. +Pretty much from what I can tell, they've got all the major pieces there. +The only reason that this would be bad news for somebody is if you use Fedora KDE +and a piece of software that you use literally cannot run on Wayland. +For some reason, X Wayland is not an option for you. +And like Matt here, you can't get the recording to work. +Wayland hates me. +Screen recording works fine in Gnome and probably would work fine in KDE. +It's when I try to branch out into a window manager that I can't get to work. +And that's just because the portals things. +Okay, so let me just get into that. +So I tried Hyperland. +I installed Hyperland on, I think I was still on my first install of Arch after I left Redcore. +I installed Hyperland, got Hyperland up and running, figured it out, +and was having a good time. +But then I installed the Flatpak version of OBS because I always install the Flatpak +because it's the official version. +And I'm all about rules. +So I installed it. +But the problem that I was having according to the Hyperland guys +is because of the containerized nature of the Flatpak, +that was what was preventing me from getting the screen recording to work. +I never actually went back and tried it again. +Wait, what you're saying is if someone is using Hyperland or a Wayland-based thing, +they should stay away from containerized Flatpaks? +Of OBS, if you're using the container to record your screen, yes. +Because to record the screen, +the program needs to be able to interact with the system PaulKit to get authentication. +Because what should happen is when you go to record a screen on Wayland, +you should get a pop-up that asks you which screen you want to record. +Which I did get, by the way. +That came up. +The button just didn't work to select the screen. +What the issue is that the desktop portal is just not able to pass the permission +to record the screen to the Flatpak because of the containerization of the Flatpak. +Yeah. +Well, they didn't figure that out yet. +Well, no, it's not something that they can figure out. +I'm wondering if you just went through and flipped on every single permission +in FlatSeal for OBS if that would solve the problem. +Yeah, it wouldn't. +It's a direct conflict of it being a container. +Because there's a PaulKit permission inside of FlatSeal. +Well, it's the actual portal not being able to translate between the two. +They need to be able to accept the permissions. +Yeah, that's something that somebody's... +I don't care if it's OBS or whoever. +That's definitely going to have to be something that's going to be fixed +because that's a big deal. +Yeah, they need to fix that because at some point, +Wayland is going to become the default thing. +And they obviously have fixed it because the Flatpak works fine in Wayland GNOME, +works fine in Wayland KDE. +It's just an issue with the WL Routes implementation, +which is hopefully something that they are working on. +That's what the HyperLan custom desktop portal is built off of. +So it's not going to work. +And the thing is WL Routes could change and it fix it, +but most likely it's probably going to be something that's implemented by Vaxri, +like most likely. +Most likely, yeah. +I was going to say that. +But also, if we're being completely honest, +I have seen some pretty convincing arguments +that it's not really a job of the actual desktop portal to fix this. +It should be on Flatpak in the way it like flat seal +and it functions with the system. +Also, OBS needs to do a better job of supporting Wayland out of the box. +I mean, you can't, especially in certain situations +where you have to set that stupid environment variable +if you're switching back and forth, right? +You know what I mean? +You had to set the environment variable to tell it to use Wayland. +That shouldn't be a thing, right? +It should just be able to recognize, hey, I'm using Wayland now. +Let's do the Wayland thing. +It's also dependent on how the distro package maintainers +are actually implementing their specific version of Wayland +because when you install, well, not Wayland, but OBS, +but when you install OBS Studio, you're not installing, +unless you're compiling it for source, +you're technically installing a fork of OBS. +So it's literally dependent on the package maintainer at that point. +Well, that's why you always use the Flatpak +because that comes directly from OBS. +That's their official package, the one that they maintain. +Yeah, then you shouldn't need to pass a flag to it. +I don't know why you have to. +It just doesn't work. +I don't know. +It's really stupid. +Anyways, let's bypass my woes with Wayland +because obviously it's not a Wayland problem. +It's a map problem. +This is too stupid to do it. +Anyways, let's go ahead and move on to mine. +And I'm going to talk about Mozilla because of course I am. +When don't I? +Steve talks about Zero Linux all the time +because he's the maintainer. +He's got his topic. +And Josh talks about Gen 2 and I'm the Mozilla guy, apparently. +Because every other week I talk about Mozilla. +You're the Mozilla guy. +It's fine. +It's fantastic. +So I'm going to show you this inside of Vivaldi. +So we heard back in December +that they're going to set up their own Macedon instance. +And I think we may have talked about it on the podcast. +I don't even remember. +It didn't seem like that big of a deal +because everybody's setting up their own Macedon instance. +And whatever. +But Vivaldi did, yeah. +Yeah, Vivaldi did. +A lot of corporations are doing it and it's fine. +It's the new hotness thing to do. +But then I was reading this article on The Verge +and it seems that Mozilla has higher aims +than just setting up a Macedon server. +They're actually thinking that they're going to try to +solve the problems of the internet. +Based on the way this article is written, +I'm not sure if they're actually, you know, +if this is just, you know, spin or whatever. +But apparently they want to start, you know, +really moderating their instance and making sure +that it's all, you know, nice people being nice to each other +and it's going to be a utopia of, you know, +no assholes anywhere, you know. +And it's just Mozilla, first of all. +If it helps, I did sign up for an account. +Did you I can't even begin to tell you Mozilla, +how impossible it is for you not to have assholes on your. +I mean, I mean, Josh just joined. +I mean, so far, the only rule that I've seen +is don't harass other people, which is fine because. +No, it it's also it's part of their rules +that you can't spread misinformation or disinformation. +Yeah, which who does this to decide +what information and disinformation is? +Also, you're going to be relying on what I'm assuming +are going to be volunteer moderators. +I mean, are they actually going to be spending money on moderators? +I mean, we'll find out. +And if they are spending money on moderators. +Also, like, see, this is what I don't understand. +Like, this is exactly why. +This is like this seems like the exact same story +that happened with Bud Light. +Like, they just literally had no idea who their target audience was. +And I thought like, correct me if I'm wrong, +because maybe I'm just like completely stupid. +But isn't Mozilla a company that's for a free and open Internet? +Yeah, yeah. +Yeah, so like what? +Just just to make sure I'm not completely delusional here. +If you censor and ban people from speaking. +Well, wouldn't that be not free? +There's a third tenant to Mozilla now, +because they are for a free and open Internet, +but they're also for a free and open and safe Internet. +Oh, by adding safe makes it all okay. +Yeah, wait, I see that. +It doesn't say you have to censor. +No, but the main reason why Mozilla is setting up this Macedon instance +is because Mozilla got a lot of harassment off of Macedon one day +and one of closing their because of that has something to do with a police officer. +Now they hired for some, of course. +Of course, but you got two kinds of Macedon instances. +You have the free speech extremist ones. +I think there's actually one called free speech extremist that's banned +from basically like all the other ones that does no moderation whatsoever, +because that's the true Internet. +And then you got the other ones where they're super heavy handed. +Mozilla wants to be the one in the middle. +Yeah, it sounds more like they wanted to be super heavy handed, but. +Oh, wait, they want to be in the middle. +So you have to be in the middle. +Honestly, though, honestly, though, what Mozilla just needs to do +is they just need to spend this message instance +and then just turn off Federation. +Well, they're going to be a successful in every year. +You are right. +But see, what perplexes me about this is this is a company +that we constantly talk about not being able to like appropriately like. +Manage their resources. +Yeah, and so they're essentially going to spend manpower and resources +moderating. +Essentially a discord server. +Yeah, yeah, a whole social network of their own. +OK, so massive discord server. +Here's the here's the thing. +Let's see. +They're going to do it like like I'm too scared that they might do it +and start only putting leaving in the stuff that are pro Mozilla +and remove censoring everything that's against Mozilla. +Oh, that is like that is going to be the least of the censoring that goes on. +Well, OK, first. +So there's many aspects of this that bother me. +Some of it is that they're going to be relying on moderators +who then have the power to decide what is and isn't misinformation, +which is I mean, that depends on their knowledge. +And it's possible that you could say something that's absolutely true. +They have no idea about it so that they delete your stuff +because they think it's false. +But that's all beside the point. +My biggest problem with this and it's the biggest problem +that I always have with Mozilla, exactly like what Tyler said, +is they get this company does make some money. +OK, they do make some money. +They also bring in an extraordinarily large amount of money from Google. +OK, but every single project that Mozilla does, +every single one of them up until now has either had two purposes, +one preserving information in an open source fashion. +So or taking on projects that they think should be open source, +things like, you know, AI. +They did that, the voice one, like the voice recognition one, +things that they want to have that were created as a proprietary thing. +And then they made an open source version of it. +So they've done that. +That's always a good thing. +You know, whether or not you think they should be in the metaverse +or whatever, you know, they have an open source metaverse, right? +The other thing that the other type of project they always do +is something that will try to bring in revenue of some kind, +something to bridge the gap, +to try to get them less dependent on Google's money, right? +Those are the two types of projects they have. +And then there's this. +This does neither of those things because Macedon, +already open source, it's already federated. +It couldn't possibly get any more open if they tried. +So it's not in that camp. +And where's the money? +I mean, they're not making money on this. +They just want to create a community +where they have more control over everything that's being said. +If they came on and said, +this is a Mozilla community where people who are interested +in the Mozilla projects can be a part of. +And stuff like that, that's fine. +And I would be behind that. +They probably have a Discord server or IRC +or something like that that you can take part of. +That would just be another version of that, right? +But that's not what the Verge article +and the way the quotes and stuff make it sound. +More sounds like they have like actual mission statement +behind this of, you know, bettering the web +and making a safe space for all the internet. +Oh, yeah, yeah. +Well, hold on. +To be honest, I think y'all are giving Mozilla +as a company a little bit too much credit here. +To me, what this reads like and what this sounds like +is this was some team lead who like they were getting moved +to a different position, +possibly going to be pushed out of the company. +They needed something that they could pitch to upper management +so that, you know, they could keep a job +and make it seem like they were useful and deserved a paycheck. +And so they came up with this brilliant idea. +Just to think somewhere inside of Mozilla headquarters, +there's a group of at least five people +that are the Mastodon team. +They run the Mastodon. +It's like there's five. +Oh, man. +There's five Discord mods. +As a moderator of a Mastodon instance, +I do see a lot of people joining Mozilla.social +and then just constantly flooding +all the other instances with bug reports +because a lot of the issues that we deal with +on star next.network, that's the one that I'm in. +A lot of times we deal with bug reports +we can't do anything about +because that user's on another instance +and they've been federated in with us. +So the only thing we can do is forward the report +to the other instance, +which most of the time does absolutely nothing. +Well, when they first announced the whole +that they were going to create a Mastodon instance, +I actually thought it was a good idea +because one of the biggest problems +that Mastodon instances have +is being able to support an infrastructure +for a lot of people. +And Mozilla has lots of money. +So they can easily have, you know, +many, many servers spend thousands of thousands of dollars +each month or whatever to run this instance +and support a very large number of people. +And in theory, what they could do +is pull some of the things, +some of the people away from Mastodon.social, +which is the gigantic instance out there +and have it be a little bit more federated. +So it's at least more people on different instances. +That's the, that's the, you know, +the best case scenario of what this was. +But when I read what they're doing, +it feels more like a pie in the sky waste of money +because they're going to spend so much money on moderation. +So like, sure, it needs to be moderated, +but that's what you have volunteers for. +You know what I mean? +Maybe they are going to use volunteers. +I don't know. +Like, I mean, for being honest, +it's going to be really hard for anyone to convince me +that this is not just an excuse for someone +to maintain a job when they shouldn't. +Like, I cannot imagine, like, +can you imagine earning a salary being a Discord mod? +Like, I'm not saying like moderating a large server +is not, you know, a task, +but a 40-hour a week? +I mean, depending on how big the instance gets, +you might actually be wanting to be paying the salary. +Look at the Vivaldi instance. +Yeah, but look at the Vivaldi instance. +It's full of, Vivaldi is great. +Vivaldi is awesome. +Vivaldi is the best. +You wouldn't join the Vivaldi instance if you didn't like Vivaldi. +I mean, you're not going to be like the biggest Firefox shill +and it's like, yeah, the Vivaldi instance is definitely where I want to be. +No, I joined it, but out of curiosity. +Now I don't even use that thing. +Because I can still connect to it via the foster. +My question then is, is it because they're taking away +the criticisms of Vivaldi or is it just because +the people on there happen to be fanboys? +They're fanboys. +This fanboyism is non-constructive. +My problem is, whenever you tweet a toot at Vivaldi, +their answers are not useful. +They're bot-style responses. +So you're not in contact with real people. +I haven't even hooked up chat GPT-4, lazy POSs. +It's too much of a fanboyism and I don't see the use for this +because the way I see it in my head, Mozilla will be doing +exactly the same thing as Vivaldi. +Fanboyism, you talk to them, you get bot replies. +Yeah, it'd be interesting to see if that happens. +I think that it's more likely to be bigger than the Vivaldi one. +I think you're just getting such a small sample size in the Vivaldi one. +I think it's more going to be like the Phostadon one. +Phostadon is full of Linux fanboys because of course it is. +You don't see a lot of Microsoft shows on the Phostadon instance, +but it's a big enough instance where other conversations can happen. +And that's probably where the Mozilla one will happen too. +My question is, is this something that Mozilla should be focusing so much effort on, +given the fact that their browser is subpar? +I don't think so, but I see a lot of people loving Mozilla and preferring +Firefox to be the default browser on every distro under the sun, +but those same people, they criticize to no end Mozilla. +I use Firefox every day on many of my VMs on my main machine, +and I think it's a serviceable browser. +But what I would challenge any of you guys to tell me is, +what is the last user-facing feature, not like an underlying technology or whatever, +but the last user-facing feature that Mozilla brought out to Firefox that was actually good? +It's been a while. +They made the tabs a little bit more squared and rounded. +Oh, tab sync across devices. +They've had tab sync across devices for 10 years. +Yeah, tab sync across devices, that was like a year ago. +Now it's prevalent. +It's always been prevalent. +It's always been somewhat prevalent, but now it's super prevalent. +You can't even use that in their defense. +They did that a long time ago. +It's not their fault. +No one started using it. +Probably just proved my point that that was a long time ago. +The last feature I know that they for sure brought out +that was a user-facing feature that everybody absolutely hated was the extensions menu. +I actually don't hate the extensions menu. +I despise it with a passion, but whatever. +We don't need to get into that. +Anyways, let's go ahead. +I even use Pocket, so. +Well, I use Pocket too, but not in Firefox. +I use it as a standalone app on my phone. +Hold on, hold on. +We can't move on for that. +You can't just walk in here and drop a bomb like that. +What are you doing using Pocket? +It's a button that comes with my browser and I don't have to install anything else. +I thought we had all agreed that Pocket was something that Mozilla did that is a +idea at best and we weren't going to reward it. +First of all, they bought Pocket. +Second of all, when they bought Pocket, their number one +process was a promise was eventually to make it open source. +It's still not open source. +But also, who wants Pocket to be open? +Who cares? +I use it so little. +Well, the funny thing is after Mozilla bought Pocket, +reader mode became a thing on web browsers. +That's what Pocket basically is. +I didn't even think of it. +That's so true. +And the big service now is read later, read for later, whatever it's called. +That's the one that most people use. +Pocket used to be the thing, but now it's no longer a thing +because once Mozilla touches something, it no longer can be the thing. +Anyways, let's move on to the contact information before we jump into some more news. +You can get in contact with us in any number of ways. +The best way is probably to head on over to the website, which is Linuxcast.org. +There you'll find previous episodes all the way back to season one. +You'll find blog posts there that I post every single week. +All my blog posts are fantastic. +You should definitely go read them. +Leave a comment because I do have comments on my website. +Unfortunately, you do require a GitHub account in order to leave one, +so I'm sorry about that. +I really wish the developer behind utterances would actually make it +so that you could use GitLab as well, +but apparently GitLab does not have the feature that the comment section relies on, +so that's sad. +Anyways, the Linuxcast.org is where you find all that stuff. +Tyler is on the YouTube and he's actually doing things on the YouTube. +He has streams and he has videos, mostly game development, which is awesome. +So head on over there. +He's a youtube.com slash zany og. +Steve is also on the YouTube. +He's a youtube.com slash at zero Linux, zero with an X, not a Z. +You can find all of his other stuff on our website as well, +so you can get all those other links. +Josh is also on the inner web someplace at tenlyj.com slash stalker. +You can find all of his contact information there, +and you can contact all of us via email at thelinuxcast.org, +and you can support us on Patreon at patreon.com slash thelinuxcast, +and then subscribe. +I have a challenge for everybody that's in chat right now, +and if you're listening in later on the podcast, +just verify that all of our contact information works. +Click on all the links and send us all poop emojis, please. +Thank you for that. +We just need to make sure that it works because we don't receive a lot of feedback, +and we want to make our show better. +We get emails every single week. +I'm glad that we get emails every single week, +but I only ever see the ones that you share with us. +That's true because I'm very, I hoard things. +Anyways, you can find all of this stuff at thelinuxcast.org slash contact. +Subscribe to thelinuxcast at youtube.com slash linuxcast. +Thanks, everybody who does that. +We do record this live every Saturday around 3 o'clock PM Eastern Time, +so if you want to watch this live, head on over to the Linuxcast channel on YouTube +and hit subscribe and hit the bell notification +so you can get notified when we do go live. +You can also find out about our live shows and stuff like that if you join our Discord server. +Those are links again on the website if you want to find those. +Okay, let's go ahead and move on to... +One second. +Hold on a second. +Sorry to cut you off, but I just got informed that you know 44 just landed on Arch. +Yep, breaking news. +I have never found a piece of breaking news that I cared about less than that right there. +It had nothing to do with you, Steve. +I just, you know, I'm sucks. +As a distro maintainer, I had to say that. +I'm not a zero G. +You think you're releasing the new ISO for it? +Look, boys, do not let Matt deceive you here, okay? +I'm at this again. +It's not just that Gnome is meh. +He's not interested. +He's a Gen 2 guy now. +It's all... +First of all, I'm no longer a Gen 2 guy. +I failed that challenge. +Second of all, I'm still not a Gnome guy no matter what Tyler says. +You just are. +I might be using KDE right now, but I still have a lot of Gnome applications installed. +Like, look, Matt and Josh are trying to convince us they're not using Gen 2. +But trust me, if you see a recording of their desktop and it doesn't look like Gen 2, +that's because it's in a VM inside of their beautiful Gen 2 install. +They absolutely refuse to leave. +Hey, Josh, think about showing us the stuff, like, as NeoFetch, +that that's going to prove to us anything. +We all know it. +You realize how easy it is to fake a NeoFetch? +Like, all you got to do is type in the information and have it echo it. +Not that I've ever done this. +Hang on a second here. +Hang on. +Are you saying I just need to count out the SCOS release then? +I still I feel like we know you, Josh. +This is a VM. +Oh, it is a VM. +Okay. +Okay. +Just just wanted to check. +All right. +All right. +Let's go ahead, guys. +Seriously. +That's damn you, Steve, for getting us off topic and you're getting Gnome bullshit. +All right, Steve. +Speaking of Steve, why don't you tell us what your second link of the week was? +Steve? +Steve? +I don't have any links, so I just landed. +Oh, that's right. +He doesn't have links. +It's fine, because... +Josh, you do it. +I'll take it here. +So, if you're a big Unix hero, you believe in the Unix philosophy and believe that you +should pipe all of your commands together to make one giant command that does everything, +well, Linux 6.4 made your pipes ten to twenty three percent faster. +Or, no, ten to twenty three times faster. +So, it seems like a minor improvement. +However, the Linux kernel has a lot of pipes involved in it. +So, overall, this is actually a big performance improvement for your system as a whole. +Wait, hold on. +Can we just stop there for a second? +Stop there for a second. +I believe a potential of up to a twenty three times multiplier. +Yes. +In performance on anything is going to be a noticeable improvement. +Is it, though? +I mean, I suppose if you add them all up, given the fact that the Linux kernel has a +whole bunch of pipes in it, as Josh so eloquently put, there's a lot of pipe in it. +Sorry. +I got up at four o'clock this morning, had to watch someone put on a hat. +I can't help it. +I'm silly as shit. +Anyway, you guys didn't know that's where the term laying pipe comes from. +Yeah, so I'm just a thought experiment. +If you have a whole bunch of pipes, the more pipes you have, the more time you're going to save. +So, that's when it's going to become more noticeable in that situation. +If you just pipe something into grep, you're not going to notice, right? +You're not really going to notice because pipes in general are a function of your shell, +which most shells are, well, the most popular one being bash or ZSH. +But I'm talking like down to the core system shell, which is well refined and relatively +fast as it is. +It's when you chain a bunch of pipes together. +Which you're not supposed to do, by the way. +Well, you're not supposed to do it in a shell scripting sense. +But if you're using Xorg, this is where you get to see the benefit. +Because the Xorg tool chain, just to launch DWM, involves a series of 213 pipes. +Well, no, hold on. +Hold on, because we're going off on the weeds here for a second, +but I think we do have to address it. +Look, that is a scenario that doesn't count and shouldn't be brought up. +And here's why. +If the only use case where the performance is, especially in user land, relevant, +is something that's poorly implemented from the get go and should have been redesigned +20 years ago, doesn't count. +I think Josh is saying that that's pretty much the behavior across the board in a lot +of situations. +If Terminal for Life was here, he'd explain to us why piping into a pipe is bad practice. +But maybe that is just for scripting. +But it seems like the same rules apply for everything, that you're spawning sub shells +over and over again every time you do that, which is why it actually costs you resources +when you do that. +Maybe that's what they fixed. +Maybe they make that less punitive, because you keep spawning sub shells. +TFL thought he never taught me anything. +He taught me that. +Like, I remember that. +Don't ask me to write a bash script, but I remember that part. +I'm still waiting to get permission from him, saying that I can upload his entire +channel to a PeerTube instance. +Because I've got his entire channel on my server. +I don't think he'll let you, but I hope he does, because I'd like to go watch some +of his old videos. +Anyways, yeah, it's interesting that they've made this faster. +Either way, they made a function faster, which means that everything's going to be faster, +even if we don't really even notice it ourselves. +That's like the difference between... +Varonix? +Get on it, man. +I want you to benchmark Linux after this change, until it shows how much faster it is. +Well, actually, if you read the article, the guy that wrote the patch did benchmark it +for us. +But that was just one function, right? +Not the whole system? +It was 128 pipes that does 256 rounds of reading and writing. +It was run 10 times. +Run 10 times and averaged out. +And so the average before the patch, 262 milliseconds. +After the patch, 24. +There's another test, averaged pretty much 250 milliseconds after 10.86 milliseconds. +It's a pretty damn big improvement. +Cool. +All right, Tyler, I think you got the second next one? +Yes. +So mine is about RISC-V, because I guess I'm slowly turning into a RISC-V fanboy, +even though I don't have any RISC-V hardware and I'm not looking to get any, +but I'm interested in it. +But yeah, so a big thing about RISC-V has just been there's features that it just lacks at a +hardware, software level, integration wise. +And finally, we've got hibernation and suspended disk support, which I'll freaking time. +Why do people like hibernation? +Let's just pause for a second and explain that it's great that they have this feature, +but Linux does hibernation and suspended disk just happily across the board. +So don't hold your breath on this being very good. +Uh, yes. +But even even crappy hibernation is better than none when it comes to a laptop +or like a battery powered scenario. +Laptop, okay. +But I'm talking about when people like I have a user on my server like today, +he was messing out, messing with something called E-States and whatever. +And he wanted to get hibernation to work on Linux very well. +Well, I'm like, hey, you have a desktop. +Why do you need to hibernate your desktop? +It's not like it's running off of a battery now, is it? +Well, there could be a lot of reasons for it. +One reason is when you do hibernate your PC because of just the way the +neural computer functions, there's less power running through the CPU. +So well, there's effectively no power running through the CPU +because everything is just saved to the disk. +Effectively, there's still some. +So there's less wear and tear on your actual hardware. +But you got the other people on the other side who leave their computers +who turned on 24-7, 365 days a year. +Yeah, I mean, again, we're not talking about. +So I do that with this computer here, but I just have the monitors go to sleep. +Okay, and we've talked about the monitor going to sleep problems +many, many times in the past, right? +The computer that sits behind me, that one's in hibernating mode. +It's hibernating right now. +And that's because I don't want it to be on all the time, +but I want to be able to... +Every time I decide I want to go stand at a standing desk for a few minutes, +I don't want to have to wait for it to turn on. +So there's way, way, way, way, way, way, way. +There is plenty of like, there's not hibernation before +and waking it up from hibernation takes almost as long as turning it on from. +Not just get a faster drive. +Yeah, faster. +Yeah, it is the it is suspend. +It is suspend the disk and suspend the RAM. +So the wake up time for your hibernation is dependent on the speed of your storage +drive. +So if you're using a hard disk, then yes, it will probably take a while. +All I got to do is go over there and hit the space bar +and it turns on in a matter of like three seconds. +So I've never had that happen. +Back to the main point, there's a lot of reasons that someone would choose to do it. +And like two big ones that we also didn't cover is also just sheer power. +You can, depending on how beefed up your computer is, putting into hibernate mode +could actually save you like two or three like light bulbs worth of electricity +just constantly being on. +And on top of that, there is also people who are on more off grid setups or generator setups. +And in that case, hibernation is pretty lit because, you know, the battery lasts longer. +You knew how to phrase that because you knew my situation. +We did kind of gander from the topic. +So it is nice that RISC-V is finally getting this. +I think the best part about it isn't even that the features have come, +it's that the fact that they're continually adding support in the Linux kernel. +I guess these features Cache and Raspberry Pi ever did. +Well, yeah, part of that is because of the more open nature of the CPU architecture. +Linux, of course, is going to support it better, +more than the full-source nature of the CPU and the Pi, right? +But you have to wait. +When you said that hibernation is craftastic on Linux, +but can you say the same about the +team deck? +Because it's got the best hibernation ever on Linux. +Well, there's some kind of magic sauce there, dude. +No, no, actually they don't. +Because as far as I know, someone can correct me if they want to do their own testing, +but the battery life is actually better on Windows with the exact same settings +comparatively. +And that is only because Linux does not do power management as good as Windows does, sadly. +Well, the battery life on the Steam Deck is shite anyways. +It's bad. +Yes. +And also... +As far as I know, it's about as good as the Switches, +which, you know, Switch isn't anything impressive either. +Well, I mean, you don't buy the thing for... +and have like a full PC in your hand, +expect it to have fantastic battery life. +And if you did buy that, expecting that you were a fool. +Okay, okay, okay. +I'm going to contradict you, Matt. +I've had the Steam Deck with me since I went on my travels. +Ten days, right? +It's been hibernating for ten days. +Didn't touch it. +It stayed in my suitcase all ten days. +I'll tell you what the battery life is. +Is it going to turn on? +Yeah. +That's actually surprising, because I'm pretty sure mine... +Of course, mine gets left on. +It doesn't look like it's turning on. +There we go, it is turned on. +Okay. +All right. +Does it have enough battery to get to a display to tell you the battery? +Oh, yeah. +I will show you. +Ten days. +Because I turned it on before I came here. +The battery... +What is it showing now? +Hey, don't tell the person. +Ow. +Oh my God, you made me flinch there. +That thing went completely out of frame for like one or two frames. +I thought that thing had hit the floor. +I was like, oh God, here we go. +All right, guys. +We seriously got a bad... +This pocket still got what you want. +The battery is... +96%. +Nice. +And we were complaining about it. +Mine doesn't do that. +Ten days. +It was sitting in the box for ten days. +Mine has been sitting over there for three days. +It's already dead. +Anyways, guys, we got to move on. +We have one more left to go. +Debian's apt 2.7 packaging tool has begun ruling out a snapshot support. +Basically, what this is is that as far as I can understand, +I got to remember there's like what? +200 words maybe in this entire article. +There's not a lot of detail. +And even if you click on the merge request, there's not a lot there. +They just want to add dash dash snapshot and dash dash update support to apt. +Now, this is apt the broader sense of apt, +not just apt get as far as I can tell. +Josh, you know everything. +Apt and apt get are two separate things, right? +They're both actually relatively the same product. +Apt does call into apt get, which apt get does sometimes seem to call into apt the two. +The project in scope is referred to as apt in total +because it is the primary package manager or the primary front end to dpackage. +I always get confused because they have three different names for it. +And I don't know. +If you have three different names or something, +you assume that there's some differences. +But anyways, the snapshot tool from what the brief, +I mean very, very brief thing that the Pharaonics thing talks about +is basically what it's going to allow you to do is +save the packages that you're installing. +Not the actual packages, but I'm assuming it's the packaging name. +It's the mirror snapshot that you get when you run apt update. +So it's basically the database, not the actual package itself. +And they're going to save that so that you can, +at least in theory, revert back and using update +to go back to certain packages and stuff. +It's interesting because obviously the idea behind snapshots +is one that we've talked about before on the podcast, +you know, with ButterFS and ZFS and stuff like that. +Have we ever seen a package manager +actually build in its own snapshotting system before? +I don't think so. +I know on Gentoo, you can install older versions of packages. +So you can roll back. +Well, you can do Arch Linux. +You can as well. +You can use downgrade on Arch. +Yeah. +Why would you bring up Gentoo? +Gentoo makes the whole conversation irrelevant. +It's like trying to compare Arch to Heaven. +Well, of course, of course. +Most package managers have the ability to downgrade. +They also, and some of them have the ability to install old versions. +Like you want to install old versions of Flatpak. +The thing is, I don't believe that once you ran an apt update, +you could no longer downgrade a package. +Maybe that's what this is, is just a way to go backwards. +I might be wrong on that. +But I think that's what this is. +Yeah. +It's surprisingly how little data there actually is +about what they're actually talking about here. +Because even if you go to the merge request, +the merge request itself is... +This adds this feature and this feature, +and then it's just commit logs after that. +That's clearly what I did. +I went to check it out. +I'm like, oh, well, this explain... +Absolutely nothing. +Where Phronix even got... +They had to have looked at the code +in order to get the information that they did have. +So yeah, apt is adding something. +This is going to come from Debian first. +So it'll be interesting to see what this actually does when they... +You know, it's great when Debian introduces a new feature +and Ubuntu doesn't have to introduce it for them. +Yeah. +Usually it is upstream, yeah. +Anyways, it'd be interesting... +Because they're calling them snapshots, not downgrades, +is what caught my attention. +Because snapshots... +Isn't it like the snapshots that you add for ButterFest? +No, it's not like that at all. +It's just going to be for packages, not files and directories. +But it's going to be... +Josh said it's going to be the database. +So it makes you think it's more like downgrades +than it is like a snapshot. +But they're calling it snapshots, +which is why it's confusing. +It does make sense. +The way it's being mentioned is like to me, +it makes me think about keeping a permanent cache +of all previous versions of the package. +Which Arch does. +I mean, I think apt does too. +Apt creates a cache of stuff. +But I don't think it's the same. +It's just literally going to be a list of the user-installed packages. +It's just a repository list. +That's all it is. +Just keeps that. +It's like dpkg... +Not dpkg. +What is the Debian? +It might be dpkg. +dpkg dash dash list or something like that. +It lists out all of the packages that you have on the side. +It's basically going to be that, I guess. +First of all, you guys should be very impressed +the fact that I haven't used Debian in probably a year and a half +to do anything. +And I remember dpkg dash dash list. +Probably doesn't even exist. +I'm just making it up. +Anyways. +It's literally just a snapshot of the database that you pull in +whenever you run an apt update. +The update command will go in and it'll index the mirrors +and pull in the latest, greatest package listing. +That is the listing of the available packages from the mirror. +But all this is just a way to snapshot that listing. +Well, no. +It's going to be a snapshot of what's in your system, +not of the repository. +So you could go, I think, right? +I don't think... +I think you got it wrong there. +It doesn't mention anything like that. +It'd make a hell of a lot more sense to have it as a thing +on your list other than the... +Why would you want a backup of the repository in total? +That wouldn't do you any good at all. +Well, no, but the repository does actually hold +older versions of packages. +Right. +But the only way the word snapshot makes sense +is if it's making a list of the packages you have installed +on your system and the versions and then could take you back +to the previous versions of the previous list. +Right. +That's the only way that the word snapshots makes sense. +At least to me... +I mean, we got Alex in the chat. +He's sitting there explaining it to us right now. +He is a Debian developer. +And he says that makes it easier to install a package +from a certain date, which in order to do that, +you need the package listing. +I don't know. +More information would have been nice in the actual merge request +there, Alex, if you want to go talk to some of your buddies. +Anyways, that's it for the news. +Let's go ahead and move on to really quickly, guys. +Really fucking quickly, thingies of the week. +Josh, your thingy of the week. +It's called PlasmaTube. +It's a KDE application for YouTube. +Done. +Excellent. +You did a fantastic job, Josh. +I think I'm going to do just as good. +MX Master 3. +It's a fantastic mouse. +I want one so bad. +I want one so bad. +Trackballs or bus, guys? +Ninety-nine bucks. +Ninety-nine bucks. +Give me one. +Get me one. +Okay. +Steve, do you have a thingy of the week? +I do have a thingy of the week. +And I didn't post it in the thing because I just +reminded of the podcast at the last minute. +But my thingy of the week is Google Maps. +You're banned. +Sorry. +It's a surprise to everyone. +It is honestly the best Google project right now. +It has helped me so much in Serbia. +You cannot imagine. +The fact that I didn't have internet. +I only had internet in the apartment, in the Airbnb. +But outside there, I didn't buy a line. +I didn't because I didn't want to spend money for temporary things. +The GPS is fantastic. +Except there's a caveat. +With Google, always there's a big but. +I like big buts and I cannot like. +Sorry. +The big but is that you have to connect. +Open the location on Wi-Fi. +Click the link to the location on Wi-Fi. +Then disconnect from Wi-Fi. +It's kind of weird. +But what if I want to click a link +when I am outside the house, for example. +I remembered a different link. +I want to go to a different location. +At this point, it's pointless. +Because I don't have an internet connection on my phone to open a new link, +a new location link to navigate to there. +You would have been dead in the water if you'd been back in the early 2000s +where you actually had to download the package maps or the maps package. +Well, I don't have maps. +It was like buying an atlas. +Or use an atlas or a map to find my family that was two miles away. +I would live my life separated from my family. +I would not know who they are. +Are you trying to say you don't know how to use a map is what you're trying to say? +No, what I'm saying is I know how to use one, +but I'm so terrible at navigating. +If it wasn't for my phone being able to tell me which way left or right is +and with the arrows, he needs the arrows. +But Google Maps is amazing. +It has helped me so much. +It's a lifesaver. +I tried Apple Maps because I'm an iPhone user. +I tried Apple Maps for some reason. +It tells me to go right when I need to go left. +I don't know. +Makes sense. +All right. +So it tells me I need to drive through a desert to get to work. +There's no desert within a thousand miles. +I'm pretty sure there's not a desert in Ohio. +I mean, I've been to Ohio a few times. +I mean, really the driest state in the world. +I mean, let's talk about that vast field between Lima and Toledo. +Definitely talking about Sandusky. +What's wrong? +I'm trying to buy a game. +What's wrong? +I don't have time to deal with your nonsense, Steve. +I got to do mine. +I got to go. +All right. +Anyways, mine is interesting +given the fact that how absolutely opposed to AI I was last week. +So mine is Whisper AI. +Oh, are we going to have transcripts for the podcast now? +We have transcripts. +We will have transcripts for the podcast. +My previous two videos have closed captions from Whisper embedded in them +and it's pretty damn good. +Now, you download it, you feed it an audio file and it uses FFmpeg +to read the language and everything. +And then it sits there for like 20 or 30 minutes +and it does the translation into actual text +but it also embeds the timestamps into it and everything. +So you can upload the entire VTT file like to YouTube if you wanted to. +And depending on what language model you use +the more CPU power it's going to take. +So I use the medium language model and it does a pretty good job. +It does not like the word Gentoo, by the way. +It spells it Gen and then the number two. +I had to fix that. +But other than that, it does a pretty damn good job. +And I haven't tried the large language model +or the extra large language model. +I'm assuming those would probably set my computer on fire +given the fact that the medium one takes like 80% CPU performance. +It's craziness. +I wish, kind of wish that they'd let you offset some of that to like the GPU. +That'd be pretty sweet. +And if you have like a video in like another language +you can use Whisper to translate it from that other language to English +to a transcript. +That's pretty cool. +It does not do the other way around. +That'd be really, it'd be awesome if you take it from English +and put it into like Spanish or something like that +because then I could put Spanish closed captions on my videos +but it doesn't do that as far as I'm aware. +I need to have my content like transcribed into Mandarin. +I need your next video to be transcribed into Latin for me, please. +Pig Latin. +Because I do need to brush up on my Latin. +It's been a while. +Definitely. +I need to brush up on my on my Klingon. +Okay. +Anyways, Whisper, the links will be in the show notes. +It's really, really cool. +If you have any need to translate audio into text, it's fantastic. +It's like the best and only good use of AI that I've ever found. +So there's that. +Anyways, that's it. +There's another good use. +I'm sorry, Steve. +We've had this conversation. +Someone had to go to Serbia last week. +You missed it. +Sorry, man. +I really do have to go. +Anyways, that's it for the podcast this week. +If you guys want to support me on Patreon, +at patreon.com slash Linuxcast, you can do so. +Thanks to everybody who does support me on Patreon. +You guys are all absolutely fantastic without your support. +The challenge is not being anywhere near where it is right now. +So thank you so very, very much for your support. +Again, as I said, thank you. +Thank you. +Thank you. +Thanks, everybody, for watching. +We record this live, as I said earlier, +every Saturday around three o'clock p.m. Eastern time. +Head on over to youtube.com slash Linuxcast. +If you'd like to catch us live, we do have a fantastic time together. +Usually, I'm not this rushed at the end, but today, that's gotta go. +Anyways, thanks for watching. +We'll see you next time. +Bye. diff --git a/Season 7/Completed Episodes/715/715.md b/Season 7/Completed Episodes/715/715.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..3e7a2e2 --- /dev/null +++ b/Season 7/Completed Episodes/715/715.md @@ -0,0 +1,52 @@ +# Season 7, Episode 15.

All right. +We're going to we're going to. +Hey, guys, welcome to the tangent cast. +No, +we're not going to have any tangents. +We've never had any of those. +I don't know what you're talking about. +Oh, all right. All right. +I'll get me started on package managers then. +Yeah. All right. +Me, then Josh and Steve. +OK, we clarify. +We clarified it this week. +Make sure everybody heard me this time. +I think I think someone talked over me last time. +All right. +Steve, you're last. +Hey, everybody, welcome to Linuxcast. +I'm your host, Matt. +And I'm Josh. +Dark Zero, Steve. +Yeah, he's that guy. +Tyler is off this week. +So we're we're going to run with just three of us. +This is a booboo on his arm. +I'm not sure what he actually did. +He never explained his. +I'm sure it was from kind of some kind of escapade. +It's from it's from his last secret mission. +That's what it is. +All right. So this is a Linuxcast. +We talk about Linuxy things. +That's what we do. +Sometimes we do just like a regular topic. +But this week, we're going to go back to normal. +We're going to talk about some news and we have news. +So before we jump into that, we always talk about the things +that we have been doing in the Linux land. +So, Josh, why don't you tell us what you've been doing +in open source this week? +Uh, so we pushed some contributions of bug reports to KDE. +Their bug tracker is toxic, like usual. +I'm sure Steve, who very recently reported a bug earlier this week, +completely understands every single pain with it with the bugzilla +bug tracker that KDE uses. +Fantastic piece of software works perfectly fine every time +as soon as you as soon as you learn how to use it. +I got solo steps pissed off at me yet again, and this time I'm not banned. +And then other than that, we've been ripping Blu-rays again +because we because, you know, in our last hardware failure, +I didn't realize that it impacted my my video library. +You haven't you had to re-burn all of your. +I'm re-ripping. We're on disk 17 of 30. +Sounds like a fantastic time, I'm telling you. +So we just download. Thankfully, there's a Docker container that automates it. +Of course there is. There's a Docker container for everything. +All right, Steve, what have you been up to this week? +Where shall I begin? +The beginning or from the middle of the end? +All right. +Well, the thing that the thing that involved the Linux, +there was some pretty big news coming from your front earlier this week. +Yes, there's a there's a small fire that lit up in zero land, +but an understandable one. +That's why I want to bite. +I want your your guys's opinion. +I'm going to keep it short since we're pressed for time. +But there's a fire in the who shall we trust land? +Should we trust zero Linux or shouldn't we? +And I had a four hour audio debate yesterday with one on my server +all about this issue, the security issue regarding the security issue in zero Linux. +What do you guys think should we include? +Should users who download a distro blindly trust it or they should? +I don't know, study it before before they use it or whatever, because +we've been we have we have someone who's in in in the security +who is very security conscious +that's worried about the TKG +first that we include for Nvidia. +It's a whole debate, but suffice it to say that. +Wait, those developers act, they don't instill trust. +I still opted to use their their shit. +So what Nvidia packages are you using? +He wants the TKG patch one. +He KG. +If you type TKG and video dash all TKG, you will find it. +But there's there's a thing going on that they don't describe their commits. +They don't tell us what they're doing. +They expect us to read commits. +There was 10 billion commits to understand what they're doing every every day. +Should we trust them? Should we not? +The only thing. +But other than that, in the Linux land, I've been heavily +studying Cosmic Desktop and I discovered by studying it, +I discovered that it's coming to Arch. +So with that being said, +I make zero. +That's what I'm doing. +OK, I see that they're not tagging releases. +They're not they're not doing it correctly, but. +It's a whole mess. +That's all I can say. +All right. So my thought on the the whole trusting of the random distro things, +like if you if. +If you're only going to download distributions that you, +quote unquote, trust because of regions, +the only distro you probably ever install would be like Fedora or something +like because they're completely, you know, anti proprietary stuff, right? +Or maybe like Geeks or one of the other Libre Linux +kernel using distributions, I guess. +But then how can you trust those developers? +I mean, trust on the Internet is really I mean, how can you trust anybody? +But I mean, if you're so privacy and security conscious +that you won't trust a random one, are you really going to trust +a corporate back distribution as well? +I mean, maybe you should. +Matt, maybe you should maybe you should just move to the woods +and not have any electricity and just sit there and read books. +But then how can you possibly trust the books? +You know, because books have information that could be biased, you know. +So you can't read books. +You can't do anything. +You're just going to sit there in your woods with some fire. +Thank you, because I found the repository and I pulled it in. +I don't see any tag releases, so I pulled down a lot of tags. +They do have they do have a lot of tags, +but they name them by kernel name or kernel version or whatever. +But thank you, Matt, because even can you trust Nvidia itself? +Because Nvidia now is including a lot of telemetry crap +in their drivers for Windows and who knows, maybe for Linux as well. +What the TKG team are doing are is removing this telemetry +and optimizing the drivers and fixing issues that Nvidia themselves won't. +Like Vuxry does with Wayland. +I trusted and Glorious Eggroll is using it +in is using some of their patches in their in his +in his distro. +And that doesn't mean he is higher than me. +He knows low level stuff. +But if it's just that one package set that that person was worried about, +it's really easy to switch to a different driver. +I mean, you could go to an open source driver, use Nuvo or whatever +how it's called, you could do that. +Use the vanilla drivers from the arch repository. +And he and they asked me to, for example, to add an option in my tool to. +OK, vanilla or TKG add more confusion. +So I have an easier solution for you, Steve. +Just force them to read and accept the package build. +It's Arch Linux. +They can figure it out. +Then I told them, I told them, read the commits and everything. +He's like, I'm not going to waste time. +Well, then he shouldn't be using Arch Linux. +Yeah, I can't. I can't. +It's a whole debate. +But it's like this debate that I got in with got in with a guy over +in a Discord chat of all places where he's just like, I don't want to. +I don't want to use it because privacy concerns like, well, +then get the fuck off of Discord. +Yeah, exactly. +I use Discord through a VPN connected to a virtual machine +connected via the Brave browser Tor connection. +Doesn't matter because I'm still logging into my HTTPS +Discord that encrypts and verifies against my local machine. +Well, speaking of browsers, this is a very small tangent. +I'm back on Vivaldi because Vivaldi is on iOS. +I'm so happy. +And I'm still on Firefox. +I want Vivaldi to be good, but it's not. +OK, so iOS is super good. +It has this bug. +So one of my favorite feature of the new Vivaldi is the workspaces feature. +It's fantastic, right? +It allows me to have all my tabs open. +It's like I'd ask you to have tab groups inside of basically a much larger tab group. +It's great. +But for some reason, when I sign in to Vivaldi using the Vivaldi account, +it automatically starts not remembering the workspaces. +Like it just cramps everything into one. +And it's a horrendous bug. +I close tabs. Lame. +Talk to them. Don't worry. +I know the people over there. +Well, I filed a bug report, but I don't think it'll ever get fixed +because I've seen several people have the same problem. +So I don't know. +Talk to them. I'm your liaison. I'm your liaison. +I'm using Vivaldi right now in my VM, but I haven't signed in so that I can't. +So the bug doesn't affect me. +But if you don't sign in, of course, you can't sync anything, of course, +but it doesn't really matter. +All right. Anyways, for me personally, I have been so. +I decided that I was missing a challenge, +so I decided to challenge myself to abandon Vim, +or in my case, Neo Vim, and start using Nano. +And I was at least smart enough to say a month and not six months. +I'm so glad that it didn't say six months. +That would have been a nightmare. +So I've been using it now for, I think, five days. +I think that today is like day five, something like that. +And wow, it's Nano shit. +It's so bad. +The default key bindings are garbage, like hot garbage. +So I've changed all those. +I've spent days making it so that it actually works out well. +But the thing is so and clicking on links +I just found out today is apparently impossible for me. +I don't I don't know why. +It just will not let me click on links. +I know control click is supposed to do it, +but it says something about tags not being available or whatever. +But that didn't work. +But the thing I'm missing most is visual mode. +Like, I didn't even realize that I used visual mode in Vim so often. +But apparently I did. +And now every time I want to select multiple lines inside of Nano, +like apparently you can't do that without your mouse. +You know, like, what is this? +Do I live in a cave? +Why don't you see a mouse? +It's it's so it's so it's ridiculous. +Because you're a human, you use a mouse. +No, I'm a Vim user. +I don't use a mouse. +In fact, I've completely disabled my mouse inside of the Vim config. +So also also. +I haven't used the arrow keys this much in probably six years on. +Like I got to do it. +One of my keyboards doesn't even have arrow keys. +And so every time I have to use a go down a level, +now I have to switch to a function key in order to do it. +It's just dumb. +So, yeah, I'm having growing pains when it comes to Nano. +You mentioned it has a configuration file. +It does have a configuration file. +Has a default. Does it do? +Oh, it has tons of options. +There's a ton of options you can do. +You can remap all of the key bindings that you want to, which I've done. +You can remove that stupid fucking title bar at the top, which is just, I mean, +why do you need to remember what file you're working in? +It doesn't. No, no, no. +The default title bar and Nano does not tell you what +what file you're working. +All it says is Nano. +No, listen to me. +All by default, that title bar at the top. +All it does is tell you that it's Nano with the version number. +That's all it does. +The the file name is at the bottom. +Oh, yeah, that was at the top. +No, it's at the bottom. +So you can get rid of the title bar, which is a waste of space. +Also, you can add, you know, line numbers by default, +set how it's supposed to wrap instead of having the one line +that just goes off into infinity, but which is the apparently the default. +Whoever thinks that's a good default is fucking retarded. +Sorry, I shouldn't say that. +They're really dumb. +Anyways, I just have some serious, serious issues with Nano. +Maybe it's just like like maybe a week from now I'll have been used to it. +But honestly, I dread opening up a terminal in writing right now. +I've seriously considered just going back to LibreOffice +to do all my writing. +That's how bad it's fine. +It's fine. +Because at this point, you're now getting used to the Nano workflow, +which means that we're not too much too. +Here, not too much longer. +Sometime this year, we will get you back in using Emacs. +I said for financial incentive. +Yeah, financial incentive. +Significant financial incentive, not significant. +Yeah, it's two stakes, not just one. +No, that's not significant. +That's not financial incentive. +Oh, that's not financial incentive. +OK, well, money, money, money, money, money or go or go to DT. +No, I've had I've I've tried Emacs many times in the past. +I'm just you've never you've never tried Emacs. +You tried Doom Emacs. +True, but that's because I wasn't getting. +I'd immediately install evil mode on vanilla, so I might as well just use Doom. +I don't know. Still not going to do it. +I was done with with Emacs the last time I made a video about it. +And I even said I was done. +I was like, it's just. +But it's beheaded, says Vim. +Vim does not have Tetris by default. +If you use Gentoo, you can call minus games and not have any of that. +Yeah. Well, I'm not using Gentoo either. +I got those own problems anyway. +So that's what I've been I've been struggling with this entire week. +Also banged up my knee, which is the reason why we didn't have a podcast last week. +So it has not been a very good week at all, but that's OK. +Thank you, watch, for beeping at me. +I appreciate that. +It's like a third time so far. +I know I should actually turn it off. +All right, there we go. +I'm like I honestly thought I was hearing like the Kim Possible +beeps for like the old Disney show. +Well, it's just I forget that it's sometimes on. +Anyways, that's it for this week in Foss. +We're going to go ahead and move on to the news. +Let's see here, Josh, why don't you do your first link? +Oh, my first link. +So have you guys ever heard of Weston and used Weston before? +Weston, no. Weston. +Oh, well, in the event you got in the event that you guys don't know anything about it +and you both gave me strange looks as soon as I mentioned it. +Weston is the is the reference +window composite compositing software for Wayland. +It is officially maintained by by the developers behind Wayland. +And it is just reference. +And they push out big updates this week with +multi GPU support a and as well as support for screen tearing. +You'll see something for a pipeline back end, +but that was already implemented in all the other window compositors. +But the big the big thing with multi GPU support is that right now, +as as it works, most display compositors only let you use one GPU at a time. +The way this multi GPU support work will be more like how Nvidia Optimus +works on on laptops right now, where you can specify +that you only want to run specific applications inside +with using your dedicated GPU. +So that's actually showing how to get that enabled. +And and they're doing it as a proper protocol, +protocol via a portal in Wayland. +Which means that it'll be coming to known KDE +and WL routes all at the same time, as soon as they actually, +you know, get to actually enabling the portal. +So they're going to make hybrid graphics much easier on Wayland than it is on. +Yes. Yes. OK. +And then because because we all want to play our video games on our laptops, +they're allowing us to enable screen tearing on Wayland. +Per app on a per application basis, which +I understand that, you know, screen tearing looks horrible. +But in the context of playing a video game, you want to push your frame rates +because, you know, the higher the frame rate, the smoother the gameplay is. +Supposedly. And using using vertical sync or some form of adapt +of adaptive sync can actually lower the frame rate and cause jitter in your game +play. And what what this protocol does is it this disables the enforced V sync +because on Wayland, it's always been that every frame has to be drawn perfectly. +And you that would cause games to stutter. +You suffer lower frame rates than usual and so on. +Well, they're saying that they're they're they're saying that now we can just enable +it on a per application basis so that you don't have to worry about that. +So our video games are going to work even better over under Wayland already. +Yeah. Can I ask you a question, Josh? +I know you're the Wayland guy here. +You're much more of a Wayland fan than I am. +I'm running Wayland right now. +Fantastic. I'm so proud of you. +He said he said dryly. +So correct me if I'm wrong, but global support for key +bindings is still not a thing outside of hyperland, right? +It is still not a thing outside of hyperland or KD. +OK, so they worked on multi GPU support, +which affects a very small amount of people, probably, right? +Before they worked on global key binding support. +You know why they're not working on global key bindings? +No, I don't know why. I'm going to tell me because +because when you enable support for global key bindings, +you're also enabling support for key loggers. +OK, I. +Yep. Now, the way that Katie and hyperland +both do it is when you hold your when you hold your modifier key +because you have to do it through a modifier key, you'll be able to grab. +Basically, what it does is it ghosts the window into focus. +That way, your global hot key for the application works. +And then so technically, +you're bringing that window into focus. +So what you're saying, it's unlikely that we'll get +a proper global key binding support out of Wayland +is not a hack, which is what you're describing ever. +At the rate that current things are going? +Yes, until somebody influenced like a proper method to get it +that everybody can actually agree on. +So Wayland will never be ready. +In your eyes. I want to know. +It's working perfectly fine for me. +But then again, I'm also using a lot of applications that support web sockets. +Yeah. Well, it seems so the whole portals thing. +Got to remember, I'm not a developer, so it seems like they could use. +I don't know. +It just feels weird to me that they focused on the multi GPU thing +before they focused on other thing. +But apparently, they're not going to focus on other thing ever because of some. +Security is. Yeah. +It's understandable. +I think I see it. It's understandable. +It's understandable if you're trying to be like this, +the ultimate super perfectionist ever. +Right. If you're trying. +That's what they're trying to do, because the big thing, +the biggest thing with the Wayland code base is that they do not want it +to fall down the same rabbit hole that Xorg did. +So and a lot of the a lot of the code for the Wayland protocols +is actually really, really cleanly written. +See, you're never ever, ever going to create a. +Program of any sort without some kind of bug or flaw. +OK, you're just never going to. +I'm not saying that what I'm saying is that they're not trying to make it bug free. +They're trying to make it so that it's maintainable. Right. +And by making it maintainable, they they also want to they want to make it +both maintainable and secure at the same time. +OK, well, I can understand not wanting to open up a. +A security flaw. +You know, on purpose, I can understand that. +But also, you're going to hamstring yourself +not only with this area, but other places, you know, just, you know, if you're not. +I'm sure I'm sure somebody is going to find a other than Voxrey for hyperland. +Voxrey is a unique edge case. +I'm sure somebody is going to figure out a way around this. +It's just a matter of time. But. +Now I understand why they're doing it, +because today's security is the most important thing, +especially the thing that happened with me and the TKG drivers. +We need to now be more aware of things +because he passed just got hacked. +I'm not going to continue to use Xorg until they pry out of my cold dead hands. +I'm saying, same here, same here. +We're in the same boat, brother. +I'm just not. +Every time I try Wayland, either something goes wrong or I just feel like. +Why? +Like, there's always this question of why, when it comes to why do I like? +I'm 100% positive. +And from everything I've read, everything Josh has told me, +other people told me that there are a ton of development reasons +why Wayland exists and why Wayland is better. +But from a user facing perspective. +Oh, no, as users, it's absolutely horrible for us. +But I just haven't seen any reason why I want to switch to it right there. +When you come like, for example, just for example, like +I had the same thing with Pipewire when Pipewire first came out. +Like, why is this better than Pulse Audio? +Like Pulse Audio already breaks a lot. +But at least when it came with like came to Pipewire, when they transitioned to it, +it was mostly a seamless transition, right? +Yes, things still break. +But you didn't have to worry about finding alternatives to literally everything. +OBS, you know, started supporting Pipewire and everything. +You know, Firefox and, you know, your your music players and all this stuff +started supporting Pipewire, and it just was a +maybe it wasn't a seamless transition, but it wasn't a transition +that put the onus of transitioning onto the user. +You know, I mean, like you when you transition to Wayland, +you basically have to do, I mean, unless you're using GNOME or KDE. +Outside of that, it's very much a user facing. +It's your stuff that you have to figure out how to find, +you know, make sure things work on. +And if you don't, you can't find something that, you know, +where, you know, if you can't find alternatives or whatever, it's your fault. +Have you ever used X-Free 86 before? No. +OK, the transition for X, X-Free 86 to X11 +was worse than our transition to Wayland. +Because there was there was no layer of backwards compatibility of X-Wayland. +That just simply did not exist for X-Free 86. +So as a result, the transition to X11 was actually rougher than it is today. +You know, the biggest difference is that we're just we're on platforms +that are much more sociable than emailing listeners see channels. +But let me ask you this question, X-Wayland, in order to for an application +to support X-Wayland, the developer has to do something, right? +It's not probably not a lot of no, it just works. +OK, well, then it should be it should theoretically then just be fine. +But in my experience, it hasn't just, you know, been fine. +Anyways, I've talked to Tom Blue in the face. +X-Org is going to be mine until I die. +X-Org is dead to me. +It's just it's just a fanaticism over something that's not ready yet. +They want it to be ready. +Users are trying their best. +And I haven't seen a single person that switched or tested +hyperland or Wayland or anything Wayland related. +I've only seen them reinstalling and moving distro hopping to something +that uses X-Org because they either had a lot of issues or they didn't want +to even bother because the argument that you get a lot of the time +when it comes to Wayland is there are if your application doesn't work, +find alternatives. +But I haven't seen a single person bothering to find alternatives. +Well, I think for a long time, I think, you know, +find alternatives waiting for us to suggest them to them. +Yeah, I think that the biggest thing is that the people behind Wayland are Uber +and they did this with X-Org too, obviously, because the focus has to be on +GNOME, has to be on KDE, because that's what the vast majority of people +are going to use. +And the developers of other desktop environment, +window managers are going to be doing things on their own, +which means they're automatically going to be doing things a little bit +differently than GNOME or KDE. +So everything is not quite the same. +But also, it just it makes it feel not a cohesive strategy, right? +It just it feels really disjointed a lot of the time. +And, you know, but the thing is, I think that if you are like a norm, +the three of us are not normal users, +especially you, Josh, you're not a normal user. +I mean, we make videos about it. +So, of course, we're definitely not normal users. +But at the same time, the biggest thing is that I and I'm seeing this here +in the chat where people are going like, +I'm never going to switch to Wayland. +I'm just going to stick on X11 for life. +Are you going to maintain X11? +Are you going to maintain X11? +I'm going to continue. +Are you going to are you going to fork the Xorg project and maintain that? +Going to continue to use X11 as long as there are X11 window managers to use. +All right. I just I just wanted to ask because, you know, +they just barely had enough people for their for their last election. +Yeah. And it's just going to get worse. +I'm sure I'm sure it is, but we're we agree here. +All agree here that we're going to Matt and I will we're going to you. +What we Matt meant to say is we're going to continue using X11 +until X11 itself. +I said nobody uses it anymore. +And all these projects go dormant and dead and become unusable. +I do. I don't think that it's too much to ask to want things to work. +You know, it's fine. +It's fine, Matt, because I'm working on a video series +where we look through every single possible compositor on Wayland. +And that right there is and I'm certain and I'm certain +that you'll find one that you like. +There's so many compositors and they all do something +that's a little bit differently. +And it's it's it's a mess. +And the thing thing when it comes to. +Xorg is that they all use Xorg. +Yes, you could find different compositors +and you found different window managers and all those things were separated. +With Wayland, they've tried to cram everything into being the same thing. +You know, it's the compositors, the windowing service. +It handles all the screen tearing nonsense. +It interfaces much closer with all the drivers and the hardware and stuff +than Xorg ever did. Right. +It's it's they've tried to. +So what you're saying is that you want to dedicate +display server in a separate with a separate composite +with a separate window manager. +And I have that. It's called Xorg. +OK, it's called Mir. +Yeah, but nobody uses Mir. +Nobody uses Mir. +OK, there's a there's a reason why Mir is a dead thing. +How many Steam games have you launched using Proton? +Are you telling me Proton uses Mir? +I'm telling you, GameScope uses Mir. +I don't know what GameScope even is. +On Steam Deck, yeah, GameScope is on. +I just want to think that I'm the the middle ground +between uber technical and new user, and I just want things to work. +If I were to use Kate, if I were to use GNOME, Wayland is ready. +OK, because most of the development to make Wayland really good +on is good in GNOME. Right. +Katie slowly getting there. +But Katie's has been bugger and shit forever. +Adding some more stuff to it to make even more buggy +is not going to be something that anybody notices. +It just continues to be buggy. +So not a big deal there. +But the problem is, is that I'm not a Katie or GNOME guy anymore. +I either prefer XFCE, which I'll be very interested +to see how XFCE does Wayland, because next version Wayland's coming. +But I'm also a window manager guy. +And once you delve into the window manager space, +Wayland becomes a fucking mess. +Right. It's just, you know, Sway is doing things their own way. +Hyperland's got his own stuff. +So you need a different portal between those different things if you need it. +And you need to know what portals are in order to do those things, which is fine. +I mean, you're not expecting a brand new user to use a window manager. +So you should have some technological know how to switch between packages +and stuff like that. It's fine. +But it's just a matter of. +I haven't found a single window manager out there where I could just install it +and know that it's going to work out of the box. +So, for example, if your name is not Josh, +you can install I3, have it work out of the box. +It just works, right? +You're not going to have, you know. +Sure. Once you get into configuring it and stuff like that, +you may end up having problems based on skill level problems. +It's not that I3 doesn't work for me or that it fails to launch or anything like that. +I just don't like the workflow for it. +Right. And I mean, that's a good point. +Not all window managers are for everybody. +But also fine. +Qtile, Xmonad, BSPWM. +You install those things right out of the box. +Bam. They work. +I've not seen a single Wayland compositor +that you can argue that that works that way. +It's I just haven't found Sway's the closest. +Sway is the closest. +But even then, once you get into the configuring it and finding alternatives +to all the programs and stuff like that, she is just. +Anyways, guys, which I said at the beginning, no tangents. +It's it's fine. +Can we talk about Mozilla selling out at least? +We're going to go to Steve next. +Oh, OK. Steve, your first link. +My first my first link. +It's talking about Plasma 6 and why I'm angry with them. +Not angry, just not really happy. +Oh, you want to continue the debate. All right. +It's not continuing the debate. +It's it's another part of the debate. +KDE decided to want to switch to Wayland by default. +And we have as maintainers to do the work and more work to disable Wayland +because we are Xorg fanatics, as Matt and I said. +But yeah, they're going to switch default better for better defaults. +Wayland, by example. +And they're going to switch +to double click by default, which that's the worst. +That's the worst change ever. +I think that's my favorite change. +Single click for life, man. +It's the way that that's what made Katie good. +Double click for life. +It's an option you can enable in Nautilus. +I know it's it's it's never hidden that feature from you. +It's an option you can enable in every single file manager. +I am actually except for Crusader Crusader doesn't have the option. +So yeah, I'm a double click guy. +I get off and I get my muscle. +I cannot get my muscle memory to get used to a single click. +Well, once you move laptops, I understand. +But once you move to it, you would never switch back. +The thing is, when I first started using Linux, I found I started +using the single click because I was a plasma guy +and it was single click by default back then. +And once you once you get used to it, you started that way. +I didn't start that way. +I'm coming from Windows and I come to this is simple. +A click is my first ever experience with single click +was when I accidentally executed a bash script. +That blew up my home directory. +So I have I think you understand my concern. +Honestly, hold on. +But let's just parse out that statement for just a minute. +Somewhere along the line, Josh, I'm assuming he was like five years old +or something when we managed to get to get into a file manager +somewhere and decided that it was a good idea to double click on a bash script. +Well, you see, my assumption is that the bash script was not executable +because, you know, when you back in the day, when you download files off the internet, +they didn't you didn't get file permissions with it yet. +So so it would just pull down with default file permissions. +Well, somehow I completely missed that the HCT protocol +enabled file for file permissions for Unix based operating systems. +So I didn't read that this bash script, which, you know, +normally I would just double click on, which would open a text editor +because that was my workflow at the time. +Right. And, you know, right click and specified open +and text editor like I do nowadays because I learned. +But, you know, I I I downloaded this bash script on the internet +because, you know, I just wanted to parse through real quick, +you know, just give it a good check before, you know, I executed it. +So I double left click. +Well, I single left clicked it, it's executed +and it wiped out my home director before I even knew what happened. +Oh, that sucks. +We started a war in the chat, by the way. +We've moved on from one Linux nerd battle, Wayland versus Xorg +to double click versus single click all in one session. +It's great. +It's fine. +Other thing they enabled by they changed, +not that made default is humongous thumbnail tab. +Yeah. +Now, when you click Alt tab, you get the preview of the application. +Applications. +I like that. That's what I use. +The cover flow alt tab on GNOME and on KDE. +So I'm good. +Oh, the thing that I said, they're bringing floating panels by default. +Just to guess it was at Nikolo that said that the reason why they're doing this +was because they didn't want to look like windows anymore. +Is that? Yes. OK. +Well, their solution prior on default KDE Plasma +was I would just pop up on the left side of the screen +and vertically sort through the tabs, which is something I never +I myself never really particularly enjoyed. +Well, my my problem with the vertical tab switcher +was that it occupied the same space as activities. +So if you were an activities user and accidentally, you know, +especially if you had a key buying that was similar to Alt tab, +maybe use control tab or something like that to switch between. +I think I think they're going to modify that as well. +But he didn't mention it. +I hope they're not the I hope they're not the same UI. +I hope that they I hope that they enable virtual virtual +workspaces by default instead of activities in Plasma six, +because, you know, I don't like activities. +All right. You guys know me. +I'm big. I hoard tabs, but I also hoard workspaces +and activities gives you more work. +So it is so the best thing about activity. +So you can set up four virtual workspaces and then use many different activities. +That means you can have as many +workspaces as you want without having to set up like 20 of them +and you think you're trying to figure out why your computer +doesn't want to shut down because, you know, you got like things open +and just random activity all the way over there. +And who shuts their computer down? +It's called reboot because I updated my kernel. +I just stand the same kernel. It's fine. +I'm sure it's fine. +There's it's not mentioned in this article, but Nicolo mentioned it +in one of his videos. +They're up there +rehauling the overview. +The overview will will also have +vertical. +They will allow you to have horizontal workspaces, vertical workspaces. +Are you talking about the expose thing that they stole from Mac? +Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. +Not not the man from they call it. +We stole it from Gnome. +Who stole it from Mac? +OK. Well, really, so +I think I'm actually had it before Mac probably did. +And I think anyway, early Gnome three. +Well, I don't know. +Expose and Mac has been around for a very long time. +So it'd be I don't know. +It doesn't matter because has anybody ever actually used that was a +feature? I used to use it. +Oh, not on Mac, but I have used the active. +I have used the activities overview on plasma. +On purpose or just by accident? +On purpose, because I was trying to turn plasma into Gnome. +Oh, OK. +Steve does a better job. +Also, get off my podcast. +I use expose at work because we had to. +We used to have the calculator and the tax, the taxes +and whatever an expose we need to do quickly. +I mean, when you have lots and lots of windows open +and using a floating window manager, that kind of workflow is actually +a bit of a game changer, especially, you know, if you're if you're +not doing the proper thing where you're splitting windows +into different virtual workspaces and everything. +And and back then and with Apple, just the gesture thing, +you just do that and you get the expose and +you can do your your stuff quickly when the customer +is right there in front of you waiting. +So that helped a lot. +But also in the overview that you're going to be able to +vertically stack workspaces. +Actual workspaces vertically stacked them in or windows +vertically stacked them, or you can have tiles of of work. +Yeah, but they're not dynamic yet, are they? +No, not yet. +I hear all working on it. +I hear all these features that they're adding for the next version of plasma. +I was like, oh, man, that's going to wait. +Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. +No, wait, of course, there will be bugs. +That's that's inherent with every new feature. But +starting next year, they're going to release only two versions +during every year. +And during the in-between time, they're going to be squashing bugs. +So we they said, expect more bugs +to be squashed than ever before. +I hope that's true, because +KD is one of those things you just want to love. +But every time you use it, it just pisses all over your face. +They're slowing down on the releases. +They're slowing down on the releases. +And they're going to be squashing more bugs and more bugs +because they admitted that they have way more bugs than a project should have. +Especially the fact that, you know, how I praised +I kept praising +Dolphin for having this +feature where it remembers sessions. +Every time I open it, it remembers where I left off. +Well, that feature decided to break in the latest KDE Gear release. +It has to be something to do with an underlying technology, +because Crusader apparently uses that same thing +because it also broke in Crusader for a little while. +It has been fixed in Crusader, thank goodness. +But it hasn't been fixed, but it has been fixed. +But it won't come to KDE until KDE Gear +24.04.23.04.2. +Yeah, I think Crusader handles all that packaging on its own. +So it's kind of separated out because it's not default. +For KDE, it's until June 6th. +It's coming on June 6th. +But the developer and the maintainer said one thing at the end +and the bug in the bug report. +It's not merged yet, and it's not for sure going to be merged. +But there is a new version of Dolphin coming in KDE Gear +and the new version of KDE on June 6th. +The fix might be there. +It might not be there. +So I'm like, +come on. +Yeah, just download Crusader, you'll be happy. +Anyway, that's my news article. +It's a simple one, because the next one, my second one is the big one. +OK, because I have so little to say about it. +But anyways, the my first one is that Microsoft has +is trying to seduce Firefox into ditching Google and switching to Bing. +Now, I support this change. +Money, money, money. +Really? Yeah, I actually do. +You think you think Bing is better than Google or you have other reasons? +Now, I honestly think that Firefox has been monopolized by Google for too long. +So it's nice to show that they're at least willing to talk to other people. +So them switching to Bing is probably not a bad eye. +It is not. +It allows Firefox to be a little bit more competitive with their prices. +You go like, hey, we switched to Bing away from you, Google. +You're going to pay us even more. +Because every time, every strategy, +every time that that Google has renewed with Firefox, +the amount has actually never changed. +And that is not how you run a business. +Every time you renew, every time you go to renew contracts, +the business is supposed to upcharge. +Yes, it's been like 400 million. +Yeah, yeah. +So honestly, Firefox, I honestly think that if Microsoft is actually +if these talks are actually happening and Microsoft is willing to pony up +some money, money to Mozilla, then yes, Mozilla should go with the change. +But Bing is the wrong one. +I mean, yeah, Bing is the wrong search engine. +But at the same time, it's not that hard to change, change the search engine +in Firefox. In fact, it's easier than it is in Chrome. +Yeah, I always change it to search anyway, so it doesn't really matter. +But yeah, yeah, I think I understand your point. +I think I agree with you, Josh. +If they can manage to get more money out of it. +I'm glad that somebody somebody on one of the hosts agrees with me on this podcast. +I mean, that never happens at the end of the day. +What does it matter? +All it matters is how much money they can possibly squeeze out of that rock +until it dies. +And if they if they can make Google +even if they just kind of create a bidding war, +like maybe they just sit there and like it's an eBay auction for Firefox. +It just keeps going up and up and up. +And you get as much money as they possibly can or create +like a Bing version of Firefox sponsored by Bing, you know. +And then, you know, Mozilla making in more money. +Hopefully they can, you know, not pay their CEO like. +Oh, no, he's that CEO is definitely getting a raise. +Of course. And they'll still start about six other projects +that have nothing to do with Firefox. +Yeah, probably. +But, you know, Mozilla making more money means that Mozilla stays relevant for longer. +So I'm fine with it. +But speaking of search engines, +I had to I recently had to +force Dr. Go +because Matt had a point. +Dr. Go sucks. +It's so bad. +It's just so bad. So bad. +I even tested it by searching for +Nvidia dash all TKG. +Any search other search engine puts the correct search result +way on top that go six page. +So here's the thing about Dr. +Go is that it depends. +The results for what you're searching for differ by person. +So I tooted about this on Macedon. +I posted something about Dr. +Go being crap, and I posted the exact search term that I use. +I don't remember what it is now. +Someone else searched for the exact same thing with the exact phrase +and had different search results than I had. +And then it turned out so I was searching for how to do something. +And it turns out if I had removed the how to part of it, +I'd get different results based on just having the how to because that +I can't remember what is a broad term maybe for Dr. +Go. Well, it kept bringing up Nvidia results when I was searching for +I don't remember what I was actually searching for. +I apologize for that. But whatever it was, it was bringing up +it had two things that had the exact same name and it was bringing up. +Oh, it was Nano. +It was it was bringing up the Nvidia Nano thing with the single board computer. +And it was only doing that for me, for everybody else. +It was bringing up actual Nanos. +I was looking for ways of, you know, configuring Nano, +you know, specific options and stuff like that. +And it kept bringing up the wrong thing. +So, yeah, Dr. Go is horrible. +But on top of that, like there are a lot of bad searches out there. +Cirques even half the time doesn't give me what I want. +But I put up with Cirques because I know that it's, you know, privacy focused +and you can do a lot of tweaking in order to make the search results better. +You know, you can search for I just went back to Google. +You know, it's fine. +But with Dr. Go, not only is it bad, but it's like super fucking slow. +Like it's been so slowly. +It's just like sometimes it takes like 15 to 20 seconds for the page to load. +And it's ridiculous. +Not only that, try an image search. +It filters. It has such a hardened filter. +I get like two, three pages. That's it. +On Google, it tells you, it asks you on Google, it asks you, +do you want copyright free or all licenses or filter by license or whatever? +Even if I tell it, I want the license free ones. +I get hundreds and hundreds of pages. +Why is Duck Duck Go so stupid and hard +to give it to give me image? +I can't take an opinion because I use a brave search. +Well, at least with least with Brave, they're using their own indexing, right? +Yeah. So you're getting the benefit of knowing that you're not having to pull +from Google anyways or pulling from Bing, which Duck Duck Go +doesn't do anything other than just pull from Bing. +They have no indexing of their own. +You want to use our own user agent that still that still identifies you. +So it's not really like privacy focused at all. +It just offers you no benefits for crappier search results. +And the thing is, like, I've used Bing before, +and I don't remember the search results being that bad. +I mean, they're bad. They're not as good as Google. +But it seems like the Duck Duck Go paid Bing for worse search results somehow. +It just it's it's. Yeah. +And if you want a worse experience, just try their browser on. +Well, nobody now only exists on Mac OS. +But on Mac OS and iOS, I use I have. +I don't use I have the Duck Duck Go browser. +Let's just say it's a clone of Firefox. +They use WebKit, of course, because they're on Apple. +But they just just use a search search index. +If you're even slower, it's even slower. +I mean, yeah, it's low. +But when it comes to, you know, like search results, +I don't care about performance. +I just want accurate results. +And that's not even after Google, because Google Google search results +have gone way down. They have gotten worse. +So the thing about search results is that you can be +there's that whole saying you can either have fast and good, +but you can't do both at the same time. +You know, but the problem with Duck Duck Go and several other ones +is that it's neither fast nor good. +You can't be just that's just bad. +You know, it's just it's just bad. +At least when you use Google, it can be slow. +It can be mediocre search results, but it's fast. Right. +Or you can use like, you know, you know, you use Bing +or you can use Brave Search or whatever, but you're getting, +you know, mediocre results. But at least it's fast. +You know, you can't you can't be you can't just suck at everything +and expect people to use you. +I'll tell you why I started using Duck Duck Go in the first place, +because Google detects your geolocation. +And since I'm in Lebanon, it always gives me results in Arabic. +I don't care for that language. +I want everything in English, everything on the web I want in English. +So I I switched to Duck Duck Go because Duck Duck Go +never gives me anything in Arabic. +It doesn't detect my location. +It gives me an option to search by according to my location. +But I disable that. It gives you the option to disable it. +That's why I started using Duck Duck Go. +But now, like, I will take your Arabic results, Google, please, +because Duck Duck Go is like in the crapper. +There needs to be a really good search. +I divorced it. Brave has, I think, some potential to be good. +But I don't think it's there yet. +Anyway, it's fine, though, because I want to talk about +all your video games potentially breaking. +Yeah. All right. Anyway, before we jump into +the video game stuff and Intel and stuff, +we're going to go to move into the contact information. +If you want to get in contact with us, you can do so in any number of ways. +The best way to do so is head on over to the website, which is the Linuxcast.org. +There you'll find previous episodes and all my blog posts. +I write a blog post every week and you can read all of those there. +Leave a comment. I'd love to have you leave a comment there +because very few people leave comments because it turns out +if you force people to have a GitHub account in order to make a comment. +Not a good idea, apparently. +I really wish utterances would at least use GitLab, but it doesn't matter. +Anyways, you can support me on Patreon at patreon.com +slash Linuxcast. +You can subscribe to my channel at youtube.com slash Linuxcast. +Josh, you can find all of his contact information at tenleyj.com +slash stalker. Steve is on YouTube at youtube.com slash at zero Linux. +Zero with an X, not a Z. +All of his other stuff will be available on the website, +which you can find at thelinxcast.org slash contact. +There you'll find all of the contact information I just said, +along with the Discord server, email address, all that kind of stuff. +So thelinxcast.org slash contact was where you can find most of that stuff. +If you don't want to just type in stuff, you can go actually click on actual links. +So that's the contact information. +So who who's going next? +What's next? +I was first, so I'll go next. +All right. So you're doing the Intel stuff, right? +Yep. All right. +So Intel is has pushed a proposal for a new x86 standard +called x86-S, which is 64 bit only. +This is not reverse compatible. +This is not backwards compatible at all. +This specification is just for x86. +And because Intel is a chip maker, +they're probably going to be they might actually just produce these chips +because we got the 2038 issue that is coming with 32 bit CPUs no matter what, +which means that after 2038, your 32 bit applications, +otherwise known as your Steam games or Steam itself, who knows, +might potentially just quit working entirely in seg faulting almost immediately +and potentially even taking down your whole system when you go to go to attempt +to launch them because, you know, computer errors. +But this is a thing that is probably going to be happening. +And at the after, if this actually comes to make a change, +you can still virtualize 32 bit architectures. +So you would so you would have to play your video games in a video machine, +which then raises issues with anti-cheat. +So game compatibility in Linux has been getting great these these years. +So here in the future, when this comes out, +we get to see Linux once again not working with video games. +Go forward, then go backward. +Yep. But honestly, +you shouldn't be using a 32 bit system anyway, +unless like it's a micro micro controller of some kind. +Be honest, these days, most games have a 64 bit binary. +So yeah, the game binary itself does. +But the libraries that that binary is calling well, oftentimes, +there's a reason why you have to have the multi-lib or whatever it is +for Steam on Arch. Right. +The the thing is that that's going to be a. +Valve has done such a good job of getting Linux +games to work or Windows games to work on Linux and stuff like that +with compatibility layers and Proton and Wine and all this stuff. +It feels like they're going to come up with some kind of emulation layer +for this as well. +I mean, I don't know the technical thing. +Maybe it's not even possible, but it feels like because you can emulate, +you know, probably six 16 bit and stuff like that in games +on in emulators and stuff. Right. +So, yeah, in theory, you know, in theory, +you could do the same thing with 32 bit performance. +The thing is, like if your game is relying on 32 bit libraries completely, +it's probably not probably doesn't have super duper anti-cheat attached to it. +You wouldn't think because most of those games are going to be pretty older. +Right. If your game is newer, not always. +There are still there are still video games coming out these days. +There are still 32 bit cyberpunk cyberpunk 2077 being a prime example of it. +Sounds like we need to have a talk with game developers +because it's it's time to move on. +Not even the game developers that are responsible for is the game engines +are that are responsible for. All right. +Epic. Fuck off. +Yeah, exactly. +Why is Epic always ruining our day? +Yeah, Epic is literally ruining our day +as well as Unity. +And thankfully, Godot, I believe, is 64 bit only. +Great. The the the the one game engine that nobody wants to use. +OK. Yeah, I'm surprised. +I'm surprised the drawdown from 32 bit has has taken this long, to be honest with you. +It feels like it's it's just been dragging. +It feels like we've been drawing down from 32 bit for at least 10 years. +We're still not 100 percent there. +And I know I know a ton of people in the Linux community +who are still running 32 bit operating systems, like a ton of people. +It's kind of nuts how many people I know is still running. +They just don't want to they just don't want to buy new hardware. +Well, then I keep I keep getting keep getting questions on the channel. +Like, hey, what's the best 32 bit? +You know, just you're out there. +I was like, well, I have to think about it for a minute +because there's not that many left. +The default answer is Debian unless you want to go into it. +Well, Debian or anything based on Debian, because like a lot of +MX Linux still has it. +You know, there's there's I think Sparky still has one. +So if you're 32, +Ard still has a 32 bit ISO. +Not official. +It's it's a community project. +Oh, OK. Well, that's that's we have some issues with their GPG keys. +That's where 32 bit is going to go to die is with community distros. +Anyways, that's it for that. +That one, Steve, why don't you tell us about yours? +You're you seem very, very excited about this +non-existent piece of crap. +So much. That was a pre-show topic. +Steve, yours. +OK, there's there's the steam deck has competition +now, a real competition danger zone danger zone. +It's called the ASUS ROG. +Everybody calls it the alley. +It's got the ally. +And what I meant by competition, the same price range. +The top and the same day. +It's six ninety nine. +And boy is it does. +Does it have the specs paper that is +it's got a AMD Ryzen Z1 extreme processor with 16 gigabytes +of RAM, DDR5 RAM, which is 6400 mega transfers per second +that of the six, I think, six thousand of the steam deck. +But the same next still using DDR4, I think. +On the DR5, but it's slower. +Five hundred and twelve gigabytes PCIe. +And that's the only storage that you will get on the ally. +You don't have lower or higher until so far. +But it has been tested and I've been watching following ETA Prime. +It's on YouTube, whose sole purpose in life is +viewing different machines for emulation. +And he surely tested it. +And the worst part of the ally, the thing that brings it down +in my mind is the fact that it's running Windows. +And in their presentation, Keynote mentioned Windows +like one point five billion times. +Well, it's because Microsoft was a partner in its creation. +Yeah, I had to mention the deal. +The Verge reviewed it and they didn't seem impressed. +Let me get to that point. +I was I was excited, too. +I was excited and super hyped because I'm a steam deck owner +and I wanted to see competition for it for this competition is healthy. +It fell on its face. +I guess the steam because the steam deck does has a lot of optimization done here. +They just on this on the allied, it just slapped +a very technical +tweaking system that regular users are just not going to use. +Simply not going to use a non optimized version of Windows on there, +which is just I mean, just Windows 11. +That's it. All they had to do was defaulted to steam big picture mode. +But the problem is that they don't want to limit people to steam. +They want you to. +Yeah, it boots to the desktop. +That's the weirdest part. +And they also need like valves permission to prepackage steam. +Yeah. Well, here's here's the thing. +ETA Prime flashed, tried to flash +hollow ISO on it, make it on par with the steam deck. +It didn't work +because the hollow ISO hasn't been updated since November last year. +So he then tried Chimera OS. Yeah. +Chimera OS. +OK, it works, but it cannot access the TDP settings. +And there's a lot of broken things here and there. +So this device, I think they made sure that Linux doesn't work very well on it +because they're so heavily endorsed by Microsoft. +Yeah, it sucks. +Sucks. It brings it down. +It's it's it's not what it should be. +It had potential. +OK, so there's two ways of looking at this that I think first. +And this is the way you should look at it right now, is that steam, +the valve is very fortunate that this thing came out +and similar ones like this came out after the steam deck had general availability. +Because if this thing had come out, you know, +10 months ago when it was still kind of hard to get a steam deck, +you know, this thing would have gained a lot more traction +because people would have been, you know, out there searching for alternatives +more because they would want something like the steam deck +because they couldn't get a steam deck. +Now you can go buy a steam deck and have it delivered in the next few days, right? +It's just available to you. +So there's no there's not that fear of missing out thing +that it would have experienced if the steam deck was still pretty rare. +But the the place where this kind of scares me, +and we talked about this before when it comes to the steam deck, +is that Valve is not known for doing very well with sequels +when they come, you know, +and they're good at the initial sequel, but the one after doesn't exist. +Well, no, no, no, no. +Software games, whatever, fine. +When it comes to hardware, at least they don't do sequels. +Like the the index hasn't seen a sequel. +It's been available for at least five years. +The the steam controller never had a sequel. +The they also can't do anything with the steam controller +because, you know, they got sued over it. +Well, whatever. +Oh, I'm saying is suing the steam deck now. +Yeah, yeah, it's the exact same company I sued them last time. +I think when it when it comes wrong on that, when it comes to hardware, +they don't do sequels well at all. +OK, but one thing you can say about Windows hardware +is that it's very plentiful and gets updated a lot. +OK, so this ASUS ROG ally will have a second version next year. +OK, there's a good chance it's successful. +Well, even if it's even as moderately, +if 10 people buy it, they'll make another one. +OK, that's just the way Windows things work. +They'll at least give it a second generation for sure. +There's a good chance that we won't see a second version of the Steam Deck +next year or the next year or the year after that. OK. Yeah. +The big thing that concerns me with the steam deck has a big community behind it. +That's the biggest difference between that and the Steam Deck and the Windows stuff. +They won't have a lot of communities behind them, +but the Steam Deck has customizations, communities and stuff like that. +This as the ally has the screen that the Steam Deck should have had. +120 Hertz, 1080p screen. +What were you saying? +Here's the thing is that this is that I don't think that the ally +is going to affect the Steam Deck by any means, simply because of how +Steam Deck is still number one because of the large momentum behind the Steam Deck. +What I'm concerned about is all of the other hand held computing devices. +I'm talking about stuff like the what is it? +The Ion Neo and then there's like four other ones. +Yeah, these those companies are much smaller +and they're the ones that are selling their devices for like a thousand plus dollars. +Whereas, you know, Asus can afford to, you know, not make as much of a margin as they are. +Asus is going to make other devices like this. +And that was my point was that these companies and even the smaller ones +are going to be able to iterate much faster than Valve is going to. +So you're right, Steve. +The Valve and the Steam Deck have momentum right now +and they have the community behind them right now. +But how long does that community? +I mean, the Linux guys are going to stick around the Steam Deck for a very long time +because they stick around on 32 bit for a very long time. +But the people who came to Linux because of the Steam Deck +are eventually going to be wowed by higher specs. +An OLED screen, a 120 Hertz screen, you know, +a higher end processor, the ability to play a triple A game like a year and a half. +And the only time the only time the only time I see this thing +being a real competitor to the Steam Deck is when because this will happen. +This will happen. And we all know that Linux distro will come out. +Works 100 percent flawlessly that +let's say the Holo ISO gets updated to support that thing. +It becomes identical to the Steam Deck with no issues +and everything working on it out of the box. +And because ETA Prime in some games on Chimera OS +got as high as 80 and 70 and 80 frames per second on 1080p medium. +Well, OK, so two things there. +First, I don't I'm not worried about this version of the ROG Ally. +This version here is never going to it's going to be the next one +and the next one after that or a similar version from another company, +wherever the ability to iterate faster because the Steam Deck +is going to be the same for a long time for a very long time. +That's what worries me. +But the other thing is, is that and maybe this is Valve's, you know, pocket ace. +They will eventually release Steam OS for other hardware. +They've said that they're going to do it. +It hasn't happened yet. +Eventually, they'll have an official steam ISO. +That's that's where the possibility of other hardware +being interesting from a steam involved perspective comes into play. +But it hasn't happened yet. +And you can't trust Valve to release anything in a reasonable amount of time. +I mean, they're very, very small company. +You know, compared to Microsoft and, you know, ASUS. +So you can there's a reason why they're still moving. +It feels like the entire company is always focused on one thing. +And then when they get done with that one thing, they move on to the next thing. +Right. They don't have, you know, you know what else makes the Steam Deck +still number one, the visibility of the of the Steam Deck. +You can replace the joystick with Halifax joysticks. +You can upgrade the storage. You can do this. +You can do that with the ally. You're locked down. +You cannot do shit. +Yeah. Speaking of upgrading the Steam Deck. +Hey, look at their transition. +FX technology has come out +or they're teasing a screen update for the Steam Deck. +And it is now remember nobody's really tried this yet, +but it sounds like utter garbage. +So, first of all, not even they're moving it to 10 to 1920 by 1020 +1920 by 1200, which is the upgraded screen that they're offering. +But it's not higher. +It's not higher refresh rate. +Not all that, which I wasn't really expecting all that anyways. +But you would expect to have at least, you know, 90 hertz, you know, +but it's still 60 hertz. +And the only other improvement seems that they're moving to a better color +range, the 74 percent Adobe RGB coverage versus the 45 percent they're at now. +So colors will be better. So those are the two options. +So the way I look at this, like, first of all, like Steve said, you can +you can update or you can upgrade your Steam Deck. +That's really freaking cool. +But this particular upgrade doesn't seem to be doing anything worthwhile +because when I look at it, it's also pretty involved. +Well, yeah, it's going to be tech. +Yeah, it's going to be you're going to want to I'm assuming +there's going to probably be some soldering. +I don't know. +You don't you don't need solder or anything, +but you do have to basically take the entire device apart. +There's nothing hard wired in the Steam Deck. +No, it's just connectors. +Valve actually has a video posting of them tearing apart a Steam Deck. +But the big thing is the biggest thing is that your is that you're dealing +with a bunch of ribbon cables that are really, really delicate. +And you have to disconnect them all. +And it's similar to taking apart a phone. +So yeah, it's but basically during assembly, +the screen is the very first thing put into into the chassis. +So as a result, it's going to be the very last thing you take out of the chassis. +So it so realistically, I wouldn't say +that you buy the screen as an upgrade. +You buy it because you need a new screen. +Well, and you know, it's ninety nine dollars. +Why not pay for the upgrade? +Well, it'd be nice if it was an actual it felt like an upgrade to me. +To me, like a higher resolution is not what I need on a Steam Deck +because it's such a small screen. +So the pixels, I mean, who pixels? +I mean, it's just the Steam Deck is already is already +what's referred to as pixel perfect or retina. +If you're from the Apple and what people would want is a higher +refresh rate, OLED, if you're going to if you're going to, you know, go that far. +Those are the two two things that would make the upgrade worth it to me. +But also, no matter what kind of upgrade you're searching for, +even if you're just going for the higher resolution like this is, +the Steam Deck's battery is already not great when you're using it, right? +It's you know, you get three, four hours, maybe, right? +This is going to cut that in half. +You know, if you're lucky. Yeah. +You know, it's just +I don't know. +So you're just going to run it. +You're going to run a lower display resolution anyway for the battery savings. +And honestly, I agree with with +a googly googler in the chat where he's just like, yeah, +he'd rather have a higher refresher, higher 120 hertz with variable refresh rate. +Well, it just you know, honestly, I would do. +It just feels like the processes you'd have to go to upgrade +and the downside of the battery isn't a +the value that you're getting for those things isn't high enough. +Like I said, you're not buying this for the sake of upgrading. +You're just buying it because you need a replacement screen. +You just don't feel like buying it from Valve. +And, you know, some people are going to look at the higher +a higher higher thing and think that it's an upgrade. +But I don't think that it's an upgrade. +Yeah, I mean, it's not necessarily an upgrade. +It's just one of those things. +Let's let's see. What's the cost of a Steam Deck screen right now? +You can get an I fix it, right? +Yeah, I'm looking at I fix it because they are the official store +for Steam Deck parts for the 512 gigabyte version of the screen. +It's ninety nine dollars. +It's the same price. +It's the same exact price. +But if you had to replace your screen, +you might as well go with the higher resolution one. +Yeah, it's the same price. +But if you're searching for if you're searching for this +because you're expecting it to be an upgrade, it's not. +It's not the upgrade. +If it had had if it had a higher refresh rate, it'd be awesome. +It's more of a downgrade. +It's more of a downgrade on the battery battery front. +Yeah. Honestly, though, I have looked into like LCD screen production before, +and it is actually kind of hard to find like a small screen like that. +That's actually good. +That's not like smaller because typically typically small screens +that have like the ridiculously high refresh rates are phone sized +and not exactly seven inches or tablet sized. +The only one that really owns that market is Apple because iPads. +Other than that. +Well, you find really all of the cheap ones in the fucking world. +Samsung is the only display manufacturer, really. +I mean, LG has kind of gotten into it. +But the Samsung, if you want to source a display +between the five point nine and eight inch display range, +it has to come from it has to come from Samsung. +And and they're so caught up when it comes to contract with Apple +and doing their own stuff that I mean, a small company is going to have +a really hard time getting merchandise from them when it comes to this kind of stuff. +Plus, I'm sure I'm sure that there's the whole it's like a licensing chipsets +and stuff from Qualcomm or whatever. +You have to deal with all the licenses and patent shit and stuff. +So it is it's just another one of those things +that you get to kind of go back to and think about. +Man, it's going to if it feels like it's going to be a really long time +before we see us seem that too. +Because every single part here, you know, they have to deal with the chipset +and the, you know, the the network stuff and all of the other stuff. +It's not going to be the little piddly stuff that they're going to problem with. +It's going to be the screen. +It's going to be the network stuff. +It's going to be the chipset. +You know, when it comes to when it comes to a device like this, +I don't necessarily like what a yearly update anyway. +I'd rather treat it like a game console. +We're just like we get new game consoles every five to six years. +I'm fine with that. +And in all honesty, I'm fine with it for the most part. +I agree with you. +But when you're in a new category +that you basically created, the biggest way to fail +is to allow your competitors to innovate faster than you can. +Well, Valve didn't even create this category. +Well, rejuvenated this category. +Let's put it down and rejuvenate it. +Yeah, they did. +Can I raise you the Nintendo Switch? +Yeah, that's those. +I don't think the Nintendo Switch and the the the Steam Deck are comparable at all. +When it comes to video game devices, I put them in the exact same category +because I do not see the Steam Deck as a desktop computer. +Yeah, I disagree with you because you can't you can't +name the number of AAA games you can play on the Steam Deck +or on the on the on the Switch. +How many Nintendo titles are there? +Those aren't AAA titles, and we all know it. +But it's Mario, man. +I would I would put Super Smash Brothers as a AAA title. +OK, so that was OK, one. OK. +Yeah, Smash Brothers, Mario, Zelda. +How about this? Can you play Call of Duty, +an actual Call of Duty on there or just a nerf version like you used to be able to? +I believe the actual Call of Duty is on there. +Is it? I mean, it's news to me because it must be new. +Anyways, it doesn't matter. +That's it for us on this one. +Oh, wait a minute. Hold on a second. +I forgot something. Thingies of the Week. +I forgot Thingies of the Week. +How could I possibly do that? +Let's move on to the Thingies of the Week. +And so the last section that we do every week +on the podcast is where we we find we call them picks. +We could have called them picks. +We end up calling them thingies. +So, Josh, your thingy of the week? +Obviously, you know, we Matt and I were mentioning it earlier here. +And I am known as an I3 hater. +But of course, my pick this week is Sway. +Which, you know, some people might be a little bit surprised by, +but I have fallen in love with Sway as my new found replacement for Cage, +which Cage Cage is a Wayland display model, +is a Wayland compositor that is just a kiosk. +And that's how I'm using Sway as a kiosk application. +And, you know, it's been super stable. +The load times are infinitely faster than Cage because Cage doesn't +preload GTK or QT themes whatsoever. +But thankfully, Sway does. +And, you know, the configuration is actually in a file +and not part of the shell command. +You have to call for Cage. +Am I picking it for desktop usage? +No, because, you know, it's running my home theater computer, which is over there. +Can we can I ask you a question? +Is is how you were saying that word key? +Is how you were saying that word key kiosk? +Is that how you actually pronounce that? +Or that's how I pronounce it. +I always thought it was Koisk, but the fuck do I know? +It's key. It's kiosk. +Key or kiosk. +Yeah, that's how you pronounce kiosk. +English is hard. Let's speak something. +It's a it's a French word. +It's a French word. It's kiosk. +We'll see. We should have just asked Steve. +The Americans took. +We steal everything, man, and we make it better. +All right. Anyways, Josh or Steve, you're about a thing of the week. +Thing of the week I'm wearing right now. +It's called the Amazfit Urex 2 smartwatch +because my Apple watch died. +Natural death, natural causes. +Don't worry. It's age. +It was a series two, not a series seven or a series eight. +We're up to the eight and upcoming is nine. +Oh, it's like six, seven generations old. +What is your what is your new watch run? +What operating system that was? +It's not Android. +Yeah, it's Zappos. +And I made sure that it doesn't run Android +because Android doesn't work with iOS and I have an iOS device. +So I needed something that worked with iOS. +And for one hundred and fifty bucks +retail, this watch is +beyond amazing. +It's got 25, 25 day battery life. +If you turn everything off like I do, anything related to the heart rate, +any any health related features, GPS +and that has a dual band satellite connection. +I turned all that off. I don't care for that. +All I needed is for push notifications and call ID. +So you can turn all that stuff off and you don't have to charge +a watch every single night. +Lasts for 50 day for 40 days. +You would be a prime candidate for a hybrid smartwatch. +One of the ones that one of those ones that just do push notifications +until the time. +Yeah, I know. I wanted the Pebble watch. +I couldn't find the Pebble watch. +I only found one listing on eBay and it was used. +And I don't know that those stuff. +Well, the the company of Pebble doesn't exist anymore. +I know it was bought by Fitbit, then Fitbit was bought by Google. +So yeah, so I buy your buy your pine sixty four watch and use that. +Yeah, I want performance, please. +I don't want the when I scroll, I have to wait five minutes +for the thing to show. +But anyway, this watch is amazing. +And the most important part for me was support for custom +watch faces by the watch face community. +There's a separate app called A.W. +Maze watch faces. +They amaze with watches that gives me access +to the entire watch face community and everything. +I spent like three hours today just playing around with watch faces. +I found one that was purple pink, the colors of zero Linux. +Didn't like it too much because it clashes with the black +and red design of the watch. +I stayed on black and red. +And best part of this of this thing is +that I don't have to I don't have to charge it every every night +and every two nights. +It's I don't know what it is. +I've never really understood the the disinterest +in just charging your watch overnight. +I just put my watch on the charger with my phone every night. +I don't want to wear electricity here. +Remember? Oh, that's true. +My whole thing is that, you know, I'm used to like +having a watch and then never have and then never have thing +to urge my watch because I do all the watches I ever owned. +But you wind up. +But you take your work for years at a time. +You take your watch off at night when you go to sleep, though, right? +Or during the day now, right? +You just take watch off. +You don't wear while you go to sleep, do you? +No, not really. OK. +So what's the difference between taking it off and sitting it on your dresser +and then taking off and just sitting on a charger? +I mean, I mean, there's not a difference. +I don't even wear a watch. +So you say your argument is no. +All right. Anyways, no. +But suffice it to say that today, with all the playing, +it was the 71 percent when I started playing with it, +just when I got it this morning. +It's 69 percent now. +So how long until we get the zero time? +Zero time in 40 days. +But this is the first charge. +I haven't charged it since I got it. +I'm going to let it drain for the first time and then charge it. +Then from this is the first cycle, you don't count it. +Once it's drained and you charge it for the first time, +then you start counting how long. +See, I've had my watch on since I woke up this morning and I'm down to 82 percent total. +And I have everything. What is your smartwatch? +I have the Galaxy Watch 4, the classic version. +OK, that has a three day battery life, if I'm not mistaken. +Two, if I'm lucky. +But I charge it every night, so I don't care. +I'm not going to wear it to bed, so I just it just I just set it on the charge. +The whole the whole point for me buying this watch is because all the smartwatches +I had before, like the Apple Watch Series 2 and the Pebbles Time Steal before that, +they were not salt water resistant. +They tell you four meters, five meters. +And I traveled to Greece, dude. +I in Greece, you go to the beach. +So I needed to take something that I could forget on my wrist. +Take a shower to the beach, go to the go to the pool +without ever having to worry about taking it off. +I like something stick on my wrist forever. +Weird. OK, I'm sure I'm sure. +Maybe I'm the weird one that just takes it off when I, you know, going to get wet. +I mean, like I'm going to take a shower. +I'm not going to take my watch in there. +I'll be honest with you. +If you have a plastic wristband, yeah, I would understand +because it tends to start to stink after a while. +That's why the first thing I'm going to do next week is go to Beirut +with my friends to have lunch and we're going to drop by a watch place +and ask them and get your stuff a proper leather band. +Leather through that. +Yeah, metal. Why not metal metal? +I mean, I guess metal is steel. +Stainless steel. That's what I love. +I have a fabric band, actually. +I have fabric work still. +It's just more comfortable than like something heavy. +And this is too light on my wrist. I need something heavy. +I want to be able to bash someone across the head with, you know, +with my watch and just murder them. +All right. Anyway, so my thing of the week, just really simple. +So everybody knows that I like to create themes for my window manager. +And I've long since had a reputation for that. +But no longer. +I no longer have to do that because I I didn't discover Piwad. +I've known about Piwad for a long time, but I haven't used it in a while. +And I saw someone using Piwad on the Discord with Hyperland. +And when I went to when I was trying Hyperland for a little while, +I was like, well, maybe I just don't need to do a bunch of things. +I was just I'll just use Piwad to do my thing for me. +I didn't end up sticking with Hyperland, +but I did decide to install Piwad with Qtel. +And man, it is so good. +I had forgotten how good it actually is at creating a color scheme +that works really, really well. +You just change a wallpaper and I, you know, created a script +and it just, you know, every time I hit a key binding inside of Ranger, +it changes the wallpaper, changes the Qtel theme, changes the terminal theme, +changes the Firefox theme, because it's there's a Firefox +plugin that you can use in order to have it take on the color. +So it's really good. +Now, the only downside is, is that it has been updated in forever. +So if you're one of those people who care that a project hasn't been updated +and it's still on the AUR and not on mainline repository. +Yeah, I don't I don't care where as long as I can download it, I don't mind. +So if you care that it hasn't been updated in a while, +then you won't want to use it. +But I don't care because it still works just fine. +So, yeah, I will. +That is feature complete. +Maybe it's feature complete. It could be. +It has a couple of errors. +So there are some bugs that could fix the biggest issues +that the developer seems to have just gone completely AWOL. +No response to issues or anything. +But that's, you know, whatever. +Someone else has forked it with the ability to use more colors. +I haven't been able to get that to build yet. +So it's called Pywall 16. +Yeah, color. Yep. +Anyways, that's it for this episode of Linuxcast. +We record this live every Saturday at three o'clock p.m. Eastern time. +We usually go for an hour and a half to close to two hours. +But we did pretty good at constraining ourselves this week. +So Linuxcast, youtube.com slash Linuxcast. +If you want to watch this live, hit the subscribe button and the notification +bell if you want to make sure you get all the notifications for when we do +actually go live. I appreciate that. +You can support me on Patreon at patreon.com slash Linuxcast. +Thanks to everybody who does support me on Patreon. +You guys are all absolutely amazing without you. +The channels are not anywhere near where it is right now. +So thank you very, very much for your support. +I truly do appreciate it. +I know I have a couple of brand new patrons that I haven't managed to +contact yet. I haven't just gotten there yet. +So thanks to the new guys as well. +Thanks, everybody, for watching again. +Every Saturday, three o'clock p.m. Eastern time catches live. +We'll see you next week. +Before we before we end, I want to say one thing. +Everybody on Arch, if you notice, there's no updates coming. +It's because they're merging repositories extra. +I mean, community will be merged with extra. +And community will be empty and all the migration will end tomorrow. +At some point, the whatever time, go to the archlinux.org website +to check out. So you're saying right now, right now is not a good time +for me to install Arch Linux. +You just installed Gentoo. I saw you do it. +Yeah, I saw Gentoo on that computer. +OK, anyway, if you run an update and and you notice that it's going +way too quickly for some reason and you're getting no updates, that's why. +OK, thank you for that, Steve. +Anyways, we'll see you next week. diff --git a/Season 7/Completed Episodes/716/716.md b/Season 7/Completed Episodes/716/716.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..177a10a --- /dev/null +++ b/Season 7/Completed Episodes/716/716.md @@ -0,0 +1,55 @@ +# Season 7, Episode 16.

It uses btrfs similar to vanilla Fedora, with @ and @home subvolumes. + +Surprisingly it felt like the dnf underneath the installer didn't have paralell downloads enabled because the install was fairly slow. + +## First impressions + +Fairly vanilla kde 6 experience. GTK welcome app pops up to greet. Fans very loud on first boot, and something python related taking up a ton of resources. This does not happen on subsequent boots. + +The GTK welcome app is properly themed to match the dark mode that is enabled by default. The app is buried at first boot by the Nobara updater, which is overly confusing and not well designed due to trying to be both user friendly and by showing too much information. Would have been better if it had just opened a terminal and run dnf. + +The welcome app also includes buttons to launch the driver manager, which is also a custom tool. THis detected my builtin GPU and installed the driver. + +There are also links to some "suggested" applications, though not too many and mostly gaming related. Finally there's a button to launch a couple scripts one, which I like, to fix Davinci Resolve. I wish there was an option to install it, that'd have been *awesome*. + +Over all the initial impressions were very good, but not overly impressive. It felt like I had just installed a slightly more annoying version of Fedora. I say annoying because of the Updater. + +## Updater Issues. + +I don't know about my fellow hosts, but it almost proved impossible for me to escape the nobara updater. That thing popped up several times a day while using this thing, which just made it obnoxious. I also noted that for some reason YUM expander is used as a notification and application. I thought YUM was dead, though I might be wrong. + +## Pre Installed Software + +Mostly a vanilla Fedora install outside of the gaming elements. Most of the Nobara tweaks aren't actual user facing apps, but instead things like drivers, codecs and such, things that normally take time to do on regular Fedora. + +There were surprises, Inkscape being here, Gimp not being here, and obs-studio actually not being pre installed. I thought that was something that was automatic. But there is an option for it in the welcome app. + +Steam and wine are installed, alongside lutris. More on gaming later. + +Flatpak and flathub are enabled by default and are what discover defaults to. ON the Discover font, it is *very* slow, very very slow on first launch. Once it is up and running it seems to do okay, but that first launch took about half a minute maybe more. + +Other than that, it's mostly k-suite stuff, though thankfully, not all of it. + +## Custom tools + +Nobar has several custom applications outside of the welcome app. There's the updater, the driver manager, and Nobara tweak tool. IDK if this is different on the Gnome version, but the Tweak tool is very minimal on the tweaks. There are options that allow for better gaming controls and one for automouting external and internal drives. This last one I didn't get to see in action because all the drives I used were in fstab. + +The other app that I used was the Nobara Package manager. This reminded me so much of pamac on Manjaro that I did a double take. It allows you to install and manage software. This includes apps from the Fedora Repos and from flatpak. Though the flatpak integration is lacking. It only shows installed flatpaks and you can't actually search for or install more. That's a bit lame. + +Like pamac, you can install multiple apps at the same time by selcting them and then clicking apply. The app also handles updates, though when it does that, it just opens the nobara updater. These apps should be combined because the Nobara package manager is much better designed. + +Oddly, though, the app closes after you've installed something, so if you needed it to stay open to install more or to continue to browse, you'll have to reopen it. Also lame. + +## Plasma + +You can really tell that NObara is a Gnome distro first and foremost. All the tools are gtk. I will say that the dev did a good job of getting them to look good in Plasma. There were no glaring white Adwaita light themes here to be found. If you do go to breeze light, though, the gtk theme changes automatically, which is something not all devs will actually set up. Good job. + +The two apps that are qt based are the updater and the tweak tool. This mismatch was expected but seemed a but jarring when comparing the custom tools. It made it feel like the tools that were gtk were just tacked on even with the nice theming. I also, and I don't have proof of this, but it feels like there might be more tools that are better integrated on the Gnome side. Maybe not true, but I just have a feeling about that. + +## Gaming + +I didn't do much gaming, but the one thing that bothered me was that the default steam behavior of not enabling proton was still here. This is a gaming distro, I thought that would be enabled. But maybe it's not even possible, since steam settings only show up once you're logged in. + +I decided to install a game that usually doesn't work for me, Sims 4. It worked great on a non-gaming laptop. I don't know what fps or anything like that, but it was very playable with no lag and it launched and seemed full featured. Very impressive. I also tried Cities Skylines, and that was sluggish, but that's a hardware thing. The other game I tried was Spyro and that played but turned my computer into an oven. + +Overall, what little gaming I did seemed great. It worked better out of the box than most distros I've tried. + +## Daily Usage + +Connecting to an nfs share was easy, and playing back media was a dream when compared to regular Fedora. I installed Davinci resolve on Nobara as well and edited one video. Installing it was just as easy as it was on Bluefin, (not surprising given that they're both Fedora). I did have to move several libraries aroud, but the script that Nobara has seems to fix that. I wish that wasn't burried in the Welcome app. It doesn't make much sense there, since you can't also install Resolve from there. + +Battery life was meh, to be honest. For some reason I found that bluefin (Aurora) to be much better on batter life. I got around 3 hours of regular usage (mostly in Vivaldi and Geany). Less when I fired up Steam, but I suppose that's to be expected. + +Gestures on the default session worked well, though weren't very smooth. At least not as smooth as on Gnome. Probably a waylend thing. + +Plamsa also seemed to be fairly stable. I didn't notice too much in the way of bugs, which is unusual. There is no xorg session, it's wayland or bust. + +# Things I Like About It + +The gaming experience, what I did of it, was awesome. I think if you want to use Fedora, this is a better choice than Vanilla even if you're not a gamer. Just the fact that the repos are enabled, codecs are installed, and you get access to proprietary drivers, makes it superior to vanilla. + +# Things I Didn't Like + +It also seemed like the KDE version was just there so the devs could say they had a KDE version. It's possible that the Gnome experience is just as vanilla, but the KDE version definitely seemed that way. I will say that the little tweaks with the gtk themes made it feel more coheisive than I expected or as is normal on other kde distros. + +# Would I use it? + +Yes. If I wanted to go for a gaming distro, this would be up there as an option. + +# Final thoughts + + * Reminds me a LOT of Manjaro. Takes the base distro, makes it easier, has built in tools like Manjaro. It's Uncanny. + * I would like to spend more time with the gaming aspects of this because I think it'd make for a good distro on my editing pc. + * I wish that it had snapper set up. diff --git a/Season 8/831/831.md b/Season 8/831/831.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..16bd0f8 --- /dev/null +++ b/Season 8/831/831.md @@ -0,0 +1,48 @@ +# Season 8, Episode 31.

It's essential to identify the underlying causes of your motivation problem to develop effective strategies for overcoming it. + +Some common reasons for lacking motivation include: + +1. Unclear or unrealistic goals: If your objectives are vague or unattainable, you may feel discouraged and unmotivated. + +2. Lack of purpose or meaning: When you're not connected to a higher purpose or don't see the value in what you're doing, it's easy to feel unmotivated. + +3. Fear of failure: The fear of not meeting expectations or failing can be a powerful demotivator. + +4. Procrastination: Putting off tasks until the last minute can lead to a lack of motivation and a sense of overwhelm. + +5. Distractions: In today's world, there are many distractions that can derail your focus and motivation, such as social media, email, or video games. + +6. Physical or mental health issues: Chronic pain, depression, anxiety, or other health concerns can significantly impact motivation. + +7. Lack of accountability: Without a support system or accountability, it's easy to let motivation slip. + +8. Unfulfilling work or activities: If you're not engaged in work or activities that bring you joy or a sense of accomplishment, you may feel unmotivated. + +--- + +# 😤How to Fix + +To boost your motivation, consider the following strategies: + +1. Set clear, achievable goals: Break down large objectives into smaller, manageable tasks to help you stay focused and motivated. + +2. Find your why: Connect with your purpose and the reasons behind your goals to increase motivation and direction. + +3. Create a schedule and stick to it: Plan out your day, week, or month, and commit to following your schedule to build momentum and motivation. + +4. Eliminate distractions: Identify potential distractions and remove them while you work on important tasks. + +5. Build a support network: Surround yourself with people who encourage and support you to help you stay motivated. + +6.

A well-designed space with elements such as natural light, plants, and vibrant colors can boost your energy and motivation, while also reducing stress and anxiety. Additionally, incorporating personal touches and decorative items that reflect your personality and interests can help create a sense of comfort and familiarity, allowing you to feel more at ease and focused on your work. By surrounding yourself with a visually appealing and inviting atmosphere, you can improve your overall mental state and productivity, leading to a more positive and successful work experience. + +### ☀️Having Better Lighting + +Proper lighting in your office can have a profound impact on your mood, with bright and natural light exposure shown to boost energy levels, reduce fatigue, and even alleviate symptoms of depression. Warm and soft lighting, on the other hand, can create a cozy and calming atmosphere, helping to reduce stress and anxiety. Additionally, using full-spectrum light bulbs or LED lights that mimic natural daylight can help regulate your circadian rhythms, leading to improved mood stability and reduced eye strain. By striking the right balance of light intensity and color temperature, you can create an office environment that supports your mental well-being and promotes a positive mood. + +--- + +# 🥱Why It Can Be Hard To Be Motivated + +Having motivation can be elusive at times due to various psychological, emotional, and environmental factors. One reason is that motivation is often driven by fleeting emotions and desires, which can wax and wane over time. Additionally, the human brain is wired to prioritize short-term rewards and instant gratification, making it challenging to sustain motivation for long-term goals. Furthermore, procrastination, fear of failure, and self-doubt can also erode motivation, as individuals may feel overwhelmed by the task at hand or uncertain about their ability to succeed. Other factors such as lack of clear goals, inadequate sleep, poor nutrition, and stress can also contribute to a lack of motivation, making it harder to muster the enthusiasm and energy needed to tackle tasks and achieve goals. + +--- + +# 📘What I Have Been Learning + +1. Break down large tasks into smaller, manageable chunks, making it easier to focus and make progress. + +2. Set clear and specific goals, both short-term and long-term, to provide direction and a sense of purpose. + +3. Create a schedule and stick to it, establishing a routine and habits that support goal-oriented behavior. + +4. Use positive self-talk and affirmations to boost confidence and combat self-doubt. + +5.

Yep, you heard that right—I installed Pop! OS. Now, before you start judging, hear me out. I know, I know, I’m a proud Debian user, the “only real Linux distro” kind of person. But even the most die-hard fans need to step out of their comfort zones every now and then, right? + +So, here I am, lounging in Pop! OS land. At first, I was skeptical. I mean, Pop! OS is all about the polished GNOME desktop and automatic driver management, which—I'll admit—felt like a breath of fresh air after managing everything myself in Debian. The installation was smooth, the setup streamlined, and let’s be real, I kind of nice. Weird huh? + +But let’s not get too carried away here. I haven’t gone completely off the deep end! This is just a little vacation, a brief detour before I return to my true love: Debian. I’m just here to enjoy the luxury of not having to tweak every little thing to get my hardware working. There’s something oddly satisfying about having an OS that’s, well, done for you. It’s like someone handed me a perfectly-made sandwich, and I didn’t have to do the work of making it myself. + +But don’t worry, I’ll be back. This is just a fling. I’ll pack up my things, leave Pop! OS behind, and return to the familiar world of Debian soon enough. But for now, I’m just going to relax and enjoy the trip. You can call it my “guilty pleasure” for the week. + +--- + +Ah, Neovim. My relationship with it is a bit like that one hobby we all pick up, spend way too much time configuring, but rarely actually use. If you’ve ever found yourself pouring hours into tweaking Neovim—adjusting your init.vim, installing the latest plugins, testing out new configurations—and then realized you haven’t actually written anything in it for the past week... well, welcome to the club. + +I have spent more time configuring Neovim than actually using it to write code or take notes. The number of plugins I’ve added, the tweaks I’ve made to the keybindings, the custom functions I’ve written... it's all impressive, right? But when I sit down to actually use the editor, I’m often finding myself either distracted by new config ideas or suddenly wondering if there’s a plugin out there that can make the experience even better. It's like a weird form of procrastination, where I’m making the environment perfect but forgetting what it’s all for—writing! + +Why do I do this? Maybe it’s because, deep down, the process of setting up Neovim feels like I’m building something personal, something that’s mine. It's like crafting the ultimate tool and every tweak or change gives me a little rush of satisfaction, like I’m shaping my own ideal workflow. But then, when it’s all set up and ready to go, I realize I’ve spent so much time perfecting it that I’ve neglected actually using it for its intended purpose. + +It’s the perfect “guilty pleasure” of the tech world—fiddling with settings and configurations instead of actually getting work done. But hey, in the end, the setup is the work for some of us, and maybe that’s where the true enjoyment lies. As for the writing/scripting, well, it’ll happen... eventually. Probably. + +--- + +So, let’s talk bspwm. I use it, but let’s be real—it’s a bit... dated. Like me. I guess. It’s one of those setups where, sure, it gets the job done, but there’s no flashy new stuff or cutting-edge features. And honestly? I don’t care. It works for me, and that’s all that matters. Sure, I could spend hours upgrading to something newer, maybe get a more polished experience with a window manager that has more modern features, but at the end of the day, bspwm just does the job. + +I don’t need a thousand new bells and whistles to feel productive. It’s simple, it’s minimal, and it doesn’t try to be anything it’s not. Do I wish there were a few more updates? Maybe. Do I feel guilty about sticking with it despite its age? Absolutely not. Sometimes the tried-and-true solutions are exactly what you need, and for me, bspwm fits that bill. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. + +I could jump on a trendier window manager, but I’d probably just end up back here anyway.

It’s like that old reliable tool that just keeps working, even if there’s a shinier new version out there. + +--- + +Ah, **Firefox ESR**—another one of those “I know it’s not the latest, but I’m fine with that” choices. Sure, there’s a shiny new version of Firefox with all the latest features, but Firefox ESR is like the comfy old hoodie that just fits perfectly, even if it’s not the most fashionable thing around. It’s stable, secure, and it does exactly what I need without any of the frills or frequent changes that can come with newer releases. + +I’ve always appreciated that Firefox ESR focuses on long-term support and security patches rather than introducing every new shiny feature that might not even matter to me. I’m not running the bleeding edge of browser technology, and honestly, that’s perfectly fine. Some might call it outdated, but I call it reliable. + +The thing with Firefox ESR is, it’s stable enough that I don’t have to worry about things randomly breaking every couple of weeks when a new feature gets pushed. I get all the security updates, and my workflow stays consistent. I don’t need the latest JavaScript engine or experimental feature. I just want a browser that works, and for me, ESR fits that need perfectly. + +Plus, let’s not forget that it’s open-source, privacy-conscious, and gives me control over my browsing experience. What more could you really need? + +--- + +Ah, GitHub Desktop—my guilty pleasure when it comes to version control. I know, I know. As someone who’s supposed to be all about the terminal and the raw power of Git commands, choosing a GUI feels almost... sacrilegious. I mean, I could be out there, typing away with git commit, git push, and git pull like a true command-line warrior, but instead, I’m over here, clicking away on shiny buttons and feeling all warm inside because it’s just so easy. + +There’s something about that simplicity. I get it—using GitHub Desktop means giving up some of the flexibility and control that comes with the command line. But for my day-to-day needs, it’s just so convenient. I’m not constantly re-learning Git commands or fumbling through the terminal trying to remember the exact flags for a pull request. It’s all there, right in front of me, in a nice, easy-to-navigate GUI. Sometimes, I even get too comfortable, and I forget that I actually could be doing all of this from the terminal with more precision. But, nope, I’m just gonna sit here with my clicks, totally ignoring my inner “power-user” voice that’s probably judging me from deep inside. + +The real guilty pleasure comes when I realize that I spend way more time enjoying the visual interface and checking my GitHub repos than I do actually writing code. It’s like the tool becomes the thing I’m using, rather than the project I’m supposed to be working on. But hey, there are worse things to be guilty about, right? I’m still committing code—just with a few less keystrokes. + +So, yeah, GitHub Desktop: I’m fully aware of the nerdy shame that comes with choosing it over my terminal, but I’m not giving it up anytime soon.
