Hey everyone,


I hope you're all doing well!

Here is your new episode of the patroncast, in which I talk about:

- 01:11 GNOME 44, and how, while it's a very evolutionary release, it does give the feeling that GNOME devs are actually listening to users and adding back a bunch of things people really wanted

- 09:24 A video made by DistroTube, where he says "Linux is more complicated and limiting", and how I have the exact opposite opinions

- 19:39 Youtube doubts, as in, "are my topics getting too far from Linux and is that why the channel isn't doing as well as it once did these past months?"


I hope you enjoy listening to this one, and thanks again for the support!


Best,

Nick

Yeah, I mean, I also have nostalgia for the GNOME 2 era, where everything moved super quickly, but I also remember everthing felt like a hack. Even on the KDE side, with 3.5, it was all broken, no apps looked the same, and you didn't have more flexibility, you just had to fix more stuff! Regarding the podcast, it might have an impact on the news videos, that's for sure. With about 700 listens right after I publish it, these are 700 potential more views to "kickstart" the News video. For now, I won't worry about it too much, because I like the podcast, but if it really becomes a problem, I might have to try and find sponsors for it (which it could definitely handle, at 2000 listens per episode over the course of a week, and being about 45 minutes long, I don't think a sponsor break in the middle or at the beginning would be super painful). Of course, if it ever happens, I'll let everyone know here that might want to cancel their Patreon subscription, since some people might have subscribed just for the podcast.

There's a couple of reasons I'm in the process of switching to Linux on the desktop. The pathological push to monetise online services and the evil behaviour of their purveyors has been driving me to self host which means a bunch of linux and linux based servers in my life. My collection of Macs are all exiting being supported for new Mac OS releases despite the hardware being perfectly fine still. So, Linux desktops all round! The point of the wee personal journey story is to highlight that, for me at least, privacy, self hosting and as much control of my digital life as I can achieve are the reasons for Linux and certainly a legitimate part of discussion of a 'Linux experiment'.
