Linux OTC is the unscripted Linux podcast where you never know what we’ll talk about. We don’t even know what we’ll talk about.
The podcast Linux OTC is created by Bill, Leo, Majid, Eric. The podcast and the artwork on this page are embedded on this page using the public podcast feed (RSS).
This week we start off talking about Leo’s latest episode of Linux User Space. In episode 5:02, Leo and Dan go over a history of the Cinnamon desktop, and how tightly it’s tied to Linux Mint it’s self. We then morphed into a conversation about Windows 8, Windows on the command line, and how Gnome 3 seemed to come along about the same time. Desktop design was the hot topic. We then moved on to the APT package manager, and the differences between it on Mint, and the rest of the Debian world. I could write more, but you’d spend more time reading this than you would listening to the show. We get into a lot of stuff.
Bill, Leo, Majid, and Joe get together this week to talk about Audacity, Tenacity, Git, Redbox, media servers, and Majid’s silly new phone.
You’re not going to believe this, but AI does come up in the conversation.
All of this and so, so much more.
And by the way, Leo was kidding – Tenacity definitely does not suck.
This week Eric, and Majid return, along with Leo and Joe to talk about Linux in schools, LLM’s AI, the new XPS, and so much more. It was a blast!
This week Eric and Bill get into a conversation about proprietary alternatives to opensource software. It starts with us describing how we’ve both begun using Reaper instead of Audacity for editing the audio for our shows.
Let us know what your think. What, if any proprietary software are you using on Linux. Is it just enough that the developers make their software available on Linux? We’d love to know what you think. [email protected]
There’s a little bonus content after the ending jingle.
Eric Leo and Majid talk Discord, Bots, UI and even a little bit of Linux!
We’re joined by Joe from mintCast fame. The discussion starts off about audio editing and just spins out of control from there. Joe and Leo get into a few discussions about some games available on Steam. We talk a little about the Steam Deck. The Texas heat is a topic. That leads to ideas about how to mitigate the heat in the home. AI in the home, ownership of software (or the lack thereof) and so much more!
Bill records the show using Arch, Leo advocates for the virtues of atomic distros, and Majid wants to build a NAS, or perhaps just buy one. All of this and so much more!
This week we’re joined by Alan Pope of “Linux Matters” fame, among others. The conversation starts off with Snaps, Flatpaks, and the like – leading us into atomic desktops, and some shows we’ve been watching lately. Oh, and of course AI. All of this and a whole lot more!
This week we start out on Majid’s not so great experience with Endeavour OS. This spirals out of control into a back and forth with Bill dying on the Arch Linux hill. We have discussions about Snaps, Flatpaks, Atomic Desktops, and a whole lot more!
Cryptocurrency, Block Chain, and the problems inherent to funding in Opensource. We solve the world’s problems in one hour or less!
