Hey everyone!


Here are the topics I'll be working on in December, and your chance to vote on some of them:

- Of course, we'll get both Linux news videos, as always

- I'll also work on a recap of everything important that happened in the Linux and open source world during 2021

- There will be my experience with Fedora GNOME, after a month of use, as well a my experience after a month of using Epiphany

- I'll probably also work on a complete guide to online privacy, with all the elements you can act on to reduce how much data you're leaving behind online.

Finally, I'll work on the 2 most voted videos out of these 4:

- Is Linux owned by anyone: a look at the various trademarks, ownership situation, companies that influence Linux development...

- Linux is free if you don't value your time, a video to debunk that notion that using Linux makes you lose time

- Project of the Month: OneDriver for OneDrive, a GUI client to use OneDrive on Linux

- Project of the month: eDEX-UI: a fantastic terminal app / dashboard


Let me know which ones you'd like to see next month!

The "Linux is free if you don't value your time" thing imo, is something that can be improved upon. But it is very much a thing currently. I say this as a heavy arch user, whose optimized my setup. I can install and get everything I need up an running easily and have a very stable system, but someone with 0 linux experience is going to have a large learning curve. Though, ironically I think that sentence only applies if you don't have linux experience. I use linux now, because I value my time. Windows actively makes a lot of things harder e.g. software development. MacOS is a lot better than windows, but also has its own bit of friction. e.g. needing to install brew to then install your dev environment and all the hoops related to "security hand holding".

So will the second optional topic be where you finally talk a bit about NixOS as time to get started vs. time saved employing it? :P

Hahaha yeah maybe I should talk about specific OSes in there, because bot all distros are created equal in that regard 😅
