When I started in tech I did not expect every woman to be Sandi Metz, but I did respect them all the same. Now, everytime I see a woman with a platform, talking at a conference or or podcast I start having a PTSD episode and ask myself "she's gonna start talking about women in STEM".

Regarding Restic, I was using it about a year ago for daily backups. After I few months I just happened to run across a command to check the validity of Restic backup files. It showed that almost all my Restic backups were corrupted and Restic was giving me no notification about this. I ditched Restic right away and switched to something else. I don't know if this bug has been fixed, so be aware of this. Thanks for all the great videos! Cheers.

poor Wendy is almost crying over the 3D printer. Hope it gets fixed for the kids.

Hi Guys and Gals, I love all of the shows on Tux Digital. Usually I take Destination Linux and This Week In Linux with me on my daily walk. Linux Out Loud doesn't have a MP3 download so I'm missing this during my walk. Is there a plan for creating the MP3 like the other 2 or is there a way to convert the You Tube to MP3. The shows really help motivate me to get through the drudgery of the walk LOL. Thanks for all of you work on the shows and helping us Linux Noobies out. Ron

Thank you. Interessing as Always. I love talkes about owned new Hardware.

Thank you for the credits :-)

Mat, I just found Linux Saloon. Do you have your own stream, podcast or other media?

Nat, Microsoft does a similar thing called "redirect". In a Microsoft environment, you use a GPO (assuming a NOS) to redirect the "my files", etc. get pointed to One Drive. You can point it anywhere, but I only use it at work, if you don't mind. You can formally cache one drive file, but it could work better.

Syndicate was awesome. It is a precursor to too many turn-based games like Xcom, etc.

One game I used to have before I went to university was "Thing on a Spring". I lost everything, including my original copy of Elite Dangerous. Is it included on the disk, and where can I get it?

You guys are great. I love things that agree with my Linux cognitive bias.

@mat how do you deal with Nat and Wendy's linux love affair?

Funny enough, I'll try Onshape but Creo does work via wine :)

I have been the go to tech person for my family since the mid 90s and I don't mind for the most part the thing that DOES annoy me is the assumption that I'll just fix it so people come to me with the most basic googleable problems they encounter without trying anything and then refuse to listen along as I explain how its solved. I want to enable people to enjoy tech and fix their own things not rely solely on me as a go to.

Last post for this video. Supporting maternity, their mobile phone doesn't work on Oncall, and I need it for Oncall! They had blocked the main hospital number. How does this Happen? Also! I want to hear the stuff you keep blocking, why keep it in the blog if we don't know what’s said?

I agree with Nat. I think it may be time spent with grandma. I always did tech support for Mum. I'm 54, and Mum passed away two years ago. I wish I had done more.

I have a Surfacebook 3 that works pretty well with linux, probably the best supported surface device. Only the touchscreen doesn't work without the surface kernel.

Sounds like you should get a Thinkpad T480 instead if you don't need a dedicated graphics card. But if you need a beefier gpu that is not nvidia, I would look into 1st or 2nd gen T14 or equivalent in P series with amd apu.

I feel you. We had an older nurse in a remote site that would ring regularly. I loved her. When you explained things in detail and slowly so she could write them down, On the other hand, if I were severely injured, you may not want anyone else in these remote locations. It would make me angry when my colleagues would dish her.

It literally took a few years since I bought my controller but it now works. "You should have looked it up". I tried, the problem is that the name of my controller is the same for 3 different models: 8bit do pro 2. A BT-version, a wired norma version and a wired XBox version. It turned out that SDL2 mapped the controller wrong while it mapped the BT-version normal. It has 3 different modes and you have to switch between modes by holding a button while connecting. XBox-mode, Switch-mode and something else. The XBox-mode now works normal but at first all modes were broken on sdl2 but not for the kernel, sdl2 did some weird remapping from the 'analog' sticks to the buttons and vice versa, renderig it non-usable for any game which uses sdl2, which surprisingly is most games, which I found out the hard way. For example also Hollow Knight. SuperTuxKart put me on the trace of sdl2 being the problem, a specific sdl2-controller-testing tool proved it. jstest proved that the kernel did map the controller correctly. Now the company which makes 8bitdo advertises this controller for the SteamDeck, so I guess that the SteamDeck helped to fix this bug?

Windows plainly sucks, it always gets in the way. even when people say: Games! windows wins on gaming. Windows stills gets in the way.

In regard to fan-rpm's on AMD vs NVidia, it is the AIB which is the problem. I currently have a Powercolor 5700 XT (RD), I don't hear the fan while gaming, it goes up to roughly 86 degrees C while gaming. People can argue if that is too hot or not (I am inclined to think that 60-70 degrees C might be a better balance) but that is the setting, at least for the silent BIOS-version. The problem for me is that the card has a 0-rpm mode but then switches from 0 rpm to a bit over 1000 RPM immediately, there is no in-between step. I noticed that MSI, Gigabyte and ASUS don't care at all about their AMD-cards. In brief: the premium MSI RX 580 couldn't handle the power and got noisy and hot, Gigabyte failed to deliver a stable Vega-card and ASUS literally sold a defect product with their 5700 XT and they never fixed it. For AMD I highly recommend to only buy Sapphire or PowerColor, maybe ASRock.

Why the profile camera angle? Is something wrong with the other side of her face? I'm not trying to be mean, I'm just curious.

Fun in the sun? I don't know that I would go THAT far! I had WORK to do! 😁 Okay, this Gaggiuino is my next coffee maker. That is too cool and I want to learn more about this project! How AWESOME is this?!?

Matt needs to try out Bazzite (they even have an nvidia image) on that OneXplayer

Installed Local send today on two Linux computers, one Mac and a phone. Love it!

Honestly if mobility is a concern a Laptop + Dock setup could be beneficial to have both portability or the preformance.

Woohoo! Another episode! 😀

Hi guys. I’m listening this episode in Apple Podcasts and is something wrong with the audio. Most part of the episode is just Wendy talking. Well just listening were in TH-cam is fine🙂

Great episode! I'd like to start off by saying I absolutely love the new game, am I a jerk! On the down side I have to tell you I had to come to TH-cam to listen to the episode again because on the Spotify podcast you can't hear Nates voice. Also, I have a question for Matt. I have an old Apple desktop my brother gave me last year and it's been collecting dust ever since. I want to dust it off and try to put Linux on it. Do I have to find a distro that ARM or can I use the 86 iso?

How did I not know about this channel before? Great work!

In Discord chat I've used (different servers as well) people use and receive thumbs up plenty well. I've never had anyone tell me or or otherwise get any indication that thumbs up was "snarky" or whatever. I've even seen thumbs up and down used as a way of polling people on a subject. They click the thumbs up or down reply for a yes or no poll on something.

Meta + LMB/RMB has been a thing in tiling WMs forever and ever :)

Full DirectX support

In re 45:17, you need to replace Barrier or Synergy with Input Leap, which implements Wayland support. Most distributions haven't gotten around to shipping it yet, though. In re 46:20, openSUSE's kernel is missing binderfs support. This is enabled in Fedora and Waydroid works on it because of that.

Professional software is missing. And every one is out there making one more desktop environment. Scribus, a free desktop publisher program, has like two developers working on it. And don't get me started on CAD, I just deleted my rant on CAD on Linux. If the software available on Linux is decades behind stuff available on Windows and MacOS, then Linux is decades behind. There is no bleeding edge version of Linux.

Link to show notes appears to be broken atm. Was hoping it might contain a link to that monitor arm - my 49" ultra wide + 3x 27" monitors sound like they might be a good fit for it!

Dbrand does make skins for oneplus 12 on their website. Just no Teardown skin yet

I do agree at times even myself I wonder this very question. Its not about "can linux do this" but do the people we want using linux are they even knowing or willing.... good episode.

You folks crack me up... Always a good time. Thanks!

I've been listening to your podcast for awhile now and had no idea you guys were on TH-cam! It's so nice to put voices to the faces. You all keep my passion for open source and GNU/Linux alive! I bought a Sinister Wendy shirt months ago and wear it proudly everywhere. It's a great conversation starter for me to blather on about Linux. Lol!

BricksCAD is about the only other solution for CAD on Linux I can think of outside of Freecad.

Yes - Remmina is far the best "stuffware" to remotecontrol. All pcs in my home network are reachable by Remmina, but I use krfb instead of krdp, i am on Manjaro and Xfce. So I can reach also the one an oly "windose" pc for testing purposes by Remmina, the rest is Linux because it is far easier and more stressless to me manage them over Linux.

Nate says “actual/actually” a LOT!

13:40 this has got to be one of the most awkward podcast ever. Are these guys even happy doing a show together??

its a bummer that certain programs require the amdgpu-pro driver, because the mesa driver is a better choice for gaming

Love you guys! How do you not have more subscribers..!?

I live in the Ubuntu world with a little sprinkle of Microsoft office. Great conversation and a Happy New Year!

nVidia and issues... Shocking... Just like that guy on the freeway that passes you 20+mph faster than everyone else would have to use their BREAKS... Shocking...

Love you all! ❤
