Exclusive Weekly Patroncast - Episode 26
🕑 Added 2021-05-17 13:16:54 +0000 UTCHey everyone!
Here is episode 26 of this weekly patroncast!
This time I talk about:
- Audacity, their attempt to add telemetry to the app, and why telemetry is vital for open source projects but not at all costs
- The JingPadA1, and why crowdfunding gives me the creeps, and also why I'll still back that project up.
- My weird problem with Linux desktop customization (or ricing as the young'uns call it), and why I like using the defaults
I hope you enjoy listening to it!

The Linux Experiment
Yeah, nowadays, the defaults are good enough that someone who isn’t interested in tweaking everything can just start working right away!
I'm with you on this one! When I first started with Linux as my main desktop OS around 2007, I had a phase customizing Openbox, Cinnamon, XFCE, and KDE. Since switching to Fedora around release 28, I'm quite happy to just leave it. It's great - install, and then get to work.
The Linux Experiment
Definitely, it’s super nice that we have these options!
