Vote On the topics for March!
🕑 Added 2024-02-25 18:40:32 +0000 UTCHey everyone,
I hope you're enjoying your week-end, if it's still the week-end where you live!
So, for March, here are the topics I'll cover:
- Linux News: one each week, on ever Saturday, so 5 in March!
- Tuxedo Sirius review: I finally got the review unit, so I'll take a look at that full AMD laptop, with a dedicated AMD GPU, the first one I've ever used
- GNOME 46: it should release on the 20th, so we'll look at everything new here
- Cosmic Desktop Alpha: it should release at the end of March, and I'll definitely give it a shot on a spare laptop to see how it works. If the alpha is delayed, I'll replace the video with something else :)
Now, for what you can vote on, only one video out of the ones you pick will be made, since there are so many "fixed date" this month, so I won't give you a multiple choices poll this time :) If the Cosmic Alpha is delayed, I'll pick the second one that has the most votes to replace that video:
- Good resources to learn about Linux: a look at videos, platforms, websites or podcasts to learn about Linux, whether it's news, the command line, server management, and more
- What the community uses: desktops: a little study that I'll base on a form that I'll share on Mastodon and maybe the Youtube community page, to analyze what are the most popular DEs and tiling WMs, and how people use them, for how long, and other interesting statistics. it won't be fully representative of the Linux community, but it should give a nice view of what people enjoy! (all anonymous of course)
- What the community uses: distros: same as above, but with distributions, the desktop they picked in there, the version, the device they run it on, etc... (all anonymous of course)
- Problematic projects: a look at some linux / open source projects that have some skeletons in their closets, whether it's "source available" and not entirely open source, or controlled by a giant corp, or problems with the creators of said projects, how they're managed, and more. I'll do my best to avoid the political things, like "This company is woke", or "this creator didn't publicly say he condemned Russia", or whatever other thing that will completely depend on where people sit on their various country's political spectrum.
Let me know which one you'd prefer seeing, and I'll work on that!

Oh, that's bad. I'm sorry you had a bad experience with that laptop, I'll make sure to check these issues myself! Did you add the tuxedo repo / drivers to handle all of this? They tend to provide a lot of optimizations in there to fix these types of problems. Interesting video topic, I'll add it to my ideas list!

I'm eager to watch your review of the sirius. I own one - my first tuxedo - and I'm very disappointed: ACPI errors on boot, Sleep/wake doesn't work, connecting a display is a hassle, battery life is horrible (like two hours tops) and the speakers at the top don't work. I mean, as a technician my heart goes to them but as a customer I'm disappointed. I hoped to reduce hardware problems with a tuxedo but I guess... yea. According to reddit I'm not alone so I'm curious to see what your experience is. (OS is kubuntu 23.10 on x11) I don't know if this is the right place but here is a video idea: I'd like to donate to the open source community but I don't know where to start. There are so many foundations and projects. I mean there are the once I use but there are also foundations who do political work which also requires money. Another question is also should I donate once or recurring? Maybe that's something you are interested to cover.

Love all options - thanks, Nick!
