Topics for April!
🕑 Added 2024-03-25 08:49:14 +0000 UTCHey everyone!
Here is what I'll be working on in April :)
Linux News: as always, one per week, as a video and an audio podcast, so 4 in April, every Saturday
Tuxedo Atlas S review: this is a small form factor desktop from Tuxedo, which I'll test as a potential candidate for a gaming PC running Linux, maybe comparing it to my current SteamOS console
Ubuntu 24.04 LTS review: this one should be interesting, with GNOME 46, a recent Linux kernel for an LTS, plus potentially a new Ubuntu-specific app (if it's ready).
Now, for what you can vote on, since we have some "fixed" videos, we once again only have one video subjected to the vote, here are the options:
KDE vs GNOME vs Other desktops: there is no best option. The idea here isn't to compare features / performance / resource usage, but generally explain why these comparisons are pointless, as none of these options have the same goal, or userbase in mind
Tips to improve battery life on Linux: a look at a few tweaks and tools you can use to improve the battery life on Linux, as I've been getting a lot of comments about that topic
Touching grass: what the community uses: a video based on a little survey that I'll share with the youtube, peertube and mastodon audience, to see what people actually use as a distro base, desktop or WM, LTS or not, and the like, to try to get a picture of what is actually popular, and if certain tools or distros are over represented by a vocal minority
Let me know which one you'd prefer seeing in April!

The Linux Experiment
Yeah, the most macOS-like option would be KDE with the layout modified to look and behave like macOS, you can find detailed tutorials on the Linux Scoop Channel, apart from that, the closest "natively" would be elementary OS, and I guess Cosmic when it's out will also behave similarly

Regarding a survey about distros & WM's I would find it interesting to see what others are using as their "daily drivers". But also what others are "flirting" with.

Per our exchange on emulating mainstream look and feel, I'm still looking for that OSX styled environment. A Gnome / KDE comparison might be revealing of options.
