Hey 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

Liking the different spin on distro reviews. With DE reviews already a thing, it makes a lot of sense to differentiate like this. 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.

Oh 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/

Absolutely. 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!

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!
