Hey everyone!


I hope you're all doing well! Here is episode 20 of your exclusive Weekly Patroncast :)


In this one, I talk about:

- 00:48: the channel, how the month is going, various sponsor related things, the videos I had to replace, and what I'll be working on this week

- 21:30 more personal stuff, like the first results of cooking and eating healthy foods for the past 2 weeks, plus what I've been playing on my Steam Deck, PS5, and Switch


I hope you'll enjoy listening to this one!


Have a great week :)

Have you thought about nebula.tv? Lots of creators there and TLDR they get 50% of the subscription quota/minutes viewed for each user. Seems higher revenue than YouTube.

MacOS user here! I listen to both the podcast and patroncast exclusively on my phone - if other macOS users do likewise, that could maybe be skewing your results. Then again, being a macOS user myself who is only now finally switching to Linux, I have a theory for why your channel might be so much more popular with Windows users. I think the fact that macOS is Unix under the hood might actually dull some of the natural interest people might have in Linux. For me personally, I was obviously aware of Linux and heard good things from people who used it, but Linux evangelists tend to mostly talk about the ways that Unix-based systems were better than Windows. On macOS, I already didn’t have to worry about all of the nonsense people put up with on Windows, so I always saw most of the benefits of Linux as things I already basically had - and because macOS has a very coherent ecosystem, is perfectly supported on Apple hardware, and is in all honesty kind of childproofed, I always thought of Linux as a thing that would only make sense if I wanted non-Apple hardware or if I decided to become a full-on sysadmin. The only thing that convinced me to switch was that Apple finally made one too many decisions that I just hated, and I assumed that I was in for a moderate nightmare of fighting with compatibility issues and having to do way more on the command line than I did previously, in order to get my new system up and running the way I wanted it, but oh well, I was so fed up with Apple that I was willing to do it. Of course, I was extremely pleasantly surprised - Linux on the desktop is really great now, GNOME is everything I liked about the macOS desktop environment but better, and I really doubt I’ll ever switch back. But I definitely think that the fact that I was already so used to a Unix system held me back from making the jump. If I’d known more about what was good about Linux /other/ than the fact that it was a Unix-like OS, I think I would have probably switched years ago

That's a very good reason! I guess if all you want is a Unix based system, but don't care too much about privacy, FOSS and the like, macOS is the best option! Linux definitely suffers from a lack of coverage in more "mainstream" channels and websites, that was one of the reasons I wanted to cover it on my own channel (well, that, and I had no money so I bought a laptop without an OS and installed Linux on it :D). It's also very random: some people will have the best of experiences, with everything running smoothly, and for other users, it can be a nightmare of compatibility problems and issues, which means it's always hard to recommend when you don't know what the person will run it on!
