Vote on November's Topics!
🕑 Added 2022-10-24 06:43:11 +0000 UTCHey everyone!
It's that time of the month again, time to vote on what you'd like me to cover in November!
You'll notice that in October, one video got scrapped, the Windows vs Linux performance test, because I got sick, and had to postpone one, and since this one would have been pretty time consuming, I elected to push it back one month.
Let's start with that I'll definitely work on:
- The aforementioned Windows vs Linux performance test. As a matter of fact, I'm wondering if I should test all of that on a computer that is more gaming-capable, to be more exhaustive? Let me know what you think?
- Linux News: there will be 4 of these videos in November, that I'll try to release on Fridays
- We'll also have 2 hardware reviews: the Slimbook KDE 15 inch, which should be equivalent to the Tuxedo Pulse 15 I already reviewed, but with some hardware differences, and the Tuxedo Infinity Book Pro 14 Gen 7, which looks like a pretty interesting device, with a 99Wh battery
- I'll also cover Nextcloud Hub 3, as the recent features they added, especially to the photos module, with local facial and object detection, and better mobile apps, should make it more of a competitor to Apple's and GOogle's ecosystems
- I will also give Chrome OS Flex a try to see how this thing performs
And so we now have 5 ideas you can vote on!
I'll pick the 3 that get the most votes :)
- Android and Chrome OS: should we count them as Linux successes: the good old topic that was ALMOST (1 vote shy) part of October's lineup
- Setting up your office suite to replace Microsoft Office: a look at how to add the various fonts, setup the interface, how to handle macros, and more on open source office suites, to have the best compatibility possible
- Using the Apple Ecosystem on Linux: if you have an iPhone and iPad and would like to use Linux on your computer, there are a few ways this can be done, so we'll look at how!
- Linux runs on anything is a myth: an opinion piece on telling people that Linux supports everything, on using generic laptops and desktops to run Linux, and on dedicated Linux hardware manufacturers
- Can you trust any new Google service? A look at the stuff Google launched, what they kept running, what they canceled or shut down, and if the reputation Google has for killing everything is warranted, and if this should impact how you use these services
Time to vote!

The Linux Experiment
Yeah, that's the plan, to either use my Stellaris 15, or to use the spare Eurorra laptop I have, with an RTX 2070 and a quite capable AMD CPU. This would make more comparisons possible!

For the performance testing video I do think a gaming capable PC would be the better choice. steam/games is really helping push Linux at the moment and it could be another video that could help push someone into trying Linux. I personally was holding out from switching from Win 7 until four months or so ago because of gaming. Gaming finally looked to have matured enough on Linux that I took the plunge. Haven't booted into windows since.
The Linux Experiment
Yeah, OneNote is tough to replace, I might make a dedicated video about it in the future!

Definitely would love a FOSS alternative to OneNote, it is legitimately one of my most used Office applications and I've yet to find a good alternative, which means I need to use the browser version. If you could at some point cover this, or if you have in the past I'd greatly appreciate a link.
