Solus problems, Activision-MS Deal, and April's topics: Patroncast S03E12
Added 2023-03-27 10:18:06 +0000 UTCHey everyone!
Here is your new episode of the Patroncast!
In this one, I talk about:
- 00:50: Solus, and how the distro seems completely abandonned these days, with unsolved issues, no updates in months, and no communication
- 11:19: The Microsoft Activision Deal, which the UK seems to be OK with, and the things people generally omit from the conversation (it's not JUST Call of Duty)
- 23:42: Channel-related things, with views picking back up, and the angles I'm looking at for the topics you voted on!
I hope you have fun listening to this one!
Best,
Nick

Yeah, Nix will be on the top of the list of distros I want to cover! 20 years!! I somehow thought it was a lot younger than this!
The Linux Experiment
2023-04-03 09:47:34 +0000 UTCAbsolutely. I don't think it adds much value to just look at the DE. It can be a differntiator, depending on how they implemented it, but I feel it's more interesting to have a clear focus on what the distro offers specifically and who it's targeting!
The Linux Experiment
2023-04-03 09:47:03 +0000 UTCOh also Nix is now 20 years old. A decent excuse to bump up coverage of it on that list ;) - and a good opportunity to source overviews of it: https://earthly.dev/blog/what-is-nix/

It also doesn’t make much sense to have them try hit also that and some sort of “intro to Linux” value - that just ends up diminishing all three for that video. Better to reference from that video other videos more dialled in on that focus.
