Steam Deck competition, Immutable systems, and PeerTube - Patroncast S02E38
🕑 Added 2022-09-26 14:25:30 +0000 UTCHey everyone!
Here is episode 38 of your weekly podcast!
This time, I talk about:
- 01:10 Competitors to the Steam Deck, and how there really aren't any
- 10:45 The case for immutable systems, and how I think they're basically what we'll all end up using in a few years (IF we can agree on a packaging format that isn't traditional packages, which is far from an easy thing to agree on)
- 17:54 Considering PeerTube, now that they support full channel sync from youtube, I don't think I have any excuses left apart from "I need to find an instance that can host my 500 videos"
I hope you enjoy listening to it!
Best,
Nick

The Linux Experiment
I think it's a pretty good move for them, although for developers who really need that latest versions of libraries, it means they'll have to work out of a container or VM. Personally, I really like having all the latest versions of desktop environments (and I kinda need to as well for my videos), so it means PopOS will have to be replaced by something else!

I'm glad Pop is slowing the release cycle down and focusing on their desktop. NixOS is very tempting, I plan on switching to it and are hopeful it goes well. Stability with updated apps via flatpak is ideal.
