The age-old question is kind of hard to answer: how often should you update your Linux computer?

Slackware will be my next LTR for distros, but I'm doing window managers and desktop environments now too. Which should I do next?
And if you have thoughts on how long I should spend with the winner, let me know in the comments. There has been some discussion that a month isn't long enough. IDK how I feel about that, honestly. But I'd love to hear your thoughts.

2022-03-25 00:27:25 +0000 UTC View PostI've been creating videos now on YouTube since September 2020. While that doesn't seem like all that long, in that time I've created over 400 videos, had over 1,000,000 views, and I'm really close to 10,000 subscribers. So, I think that I am qualified enough to talk about some YouTube stuff.
I call it stuff because talking about Mental Health is always uncomfortable. Nobody likes doing it, and nobody likes listening to it because it makes us all think about our own struggles with ...

2022-03-18 06:14:20 +0000 UTC View PostOn this past Sunday night (or a week ago Sunday if you're not a patron), I had a huge plan. I was going to rice i3wm over and over again, creating several themes. It's something I did for DWM and wanted (and still want) to do for i3 now that i3wm is my daily driver again.
The problem is that once I got streaming, no one could hear me. And I was like what the F$#k? My audio had been working fine. Tyler and I had even done a podcast a few days before that and everything worked fine during...

2022-03-11 04:32:23 +0000 UTC View PostMy love affair with the AUR is well documented. It's so bad I can't use anything that's not Arch-based on my main computer. Without the AUR, I just feel lost and without all of my lovely programs.
(I'm really not without them, of course. The repos on Debian/Ubuntu/MX are great for the most part)
Even with that love affair still going strong, I find myself enjoying Flatpaks more and more. Some of this is some recent problems with building some apps from the AUR. Honestly, the probl...

In an effort to start to move around more and become more healthy, I decided that I would do the nerd thing and buy a gadget to keep track of health and fitness metrics. Because I switched to the iPhone - and from everything I read, Android watches suck - I decided I would pick up an Apple Watch.
I've been using this thing now for a week, and I thought I'd write about my experiences so far.

Kind of obvious, of course, but there is no place where my nerd-dom shines more as when I start talking about file managers.
It's ridiculous, really. I have spend dozens of hours over the last two years looking for the 'perfect' file manager. Thunar didn't have dual pane mode, so I switched to Nemo, which had that feature. Nemo didn't remember close state, so I switched to Dolphin. That was too bloated with dependencies, so I switched to Krusader.

It's obviously simple for now, but I'll add more to it over time. I also want to create a script that will let me add episodes and videos to it, but I'm having issues with that.
Today I talk about how a lot of distros have horrible websites and why that's a HUGE problem.
