Hey everyone!

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

For what I will definitely cover:

- Linux News (and podcast): the usual, 1 per week, so that's 5 in October

- Ubuntu 23.10: I'll look at what's new, and it should be an interesting one, with the new app store, experimental TPM based encryption, the new stuff from GNOME 45, and more!

- Murena 2 phone: I'll take a look at this new device from Murena (also known as /e/): a De Googled Android phone made for privacy, which will also give me a chance to look at how /e/ has evolved since the last time I took a look at it!

- Improving Linux Gaming performance: one of the winners of last month, that I unfortunately didn't have time to look at in September, so it's being moved to October

- Best KDE Plasma Widgets, tools and apps: since my Plasma experiment is going well, I'm starting to collect a bunch of nice widgets, tools and apps to showcase in a dedicated video!

- I used Windows 11 for 30 days: I'll start an experiment, using Windows as a daily driver on one of my laptops, and I'll report on the experience, what was good and what was bad, 


Now for what you get to vote on:

- Nvidia drivers performance benchmark: I'll benchmark an AMD GPU and an NVIDIA GPU on the same PC, to see if Nvidia drivers on Linux deliver worse performance than AMD's

- Get Linux's advantages on Windows: a look at how to replicate some of the best features of Linux distros on Windows, for people who are stuck there

- Top 5 lightweight distros: a look at the least resource intensive Linux distros for older PCs, or small underpowered appliances

- The state of Wayland in 2023: a look at how usable it is, what's still missing, and the remaining issues with it, as more and more distros and desktops plan to ditch X11


Vote on the ones you want to see, and I'll work on the 2 with the most votes!

Has someone numbers on how lightweightedness affects battery lifetime?

About when in October do you think you'll cover the Murena 2?
