Hey everyone!
As usual, the end of the month is approaching already, so here is what I'll be working on in June:
Linux News: as usual, one per week except for the 15th, because I'll be on vacation, so there will be 4 News videos
Plasma 6.1: this one is planned for the 18th, so I'll cover all the changes you can expect in this first major update to Plasma 6 (and it looks reasonably big)

Hey everyone!
I'm planning out the form I want to share with my audience on the "issues people have with Linux" topic.
I created a first draft, with a bunch of questions, but I'd like you to try it out, and let me know if there are questions that feel badly worded, issues with the answers, missing potential answers, or even entirely missing questions.
If you have 5 minutes, I'd love for you to take a look and to help me shape the form before I share it more widely :)

Hey everyone!
In this one, I thought I'd give a small return on experience after using only Slimbook and then Tuxedo devices for a few years: how they held up over time, the compatibility, how hard they scratched or broke, things like that, plus a few reasons why I personally think they're worth it, even though they're not for everyone.
Also, it's not an ad, don't worry, no one paid me to talk about this :D

Hey everyone,
Sorry for missing yesterday's episode, I had to sign a giant stack of papers for the purchase of the new flat, and I'm not joking, all piled up, it's at least 20cm high, with each page needing to be marked or signed... it took a while and I just couldn't make it work.
So, today, you're getting the news from Monday AND Tuesday :)
