Vote on January's Topics!

Here is what I'll be working on in January
We'll have the usual Linux News videos, 4 in January, and I'll kick off the year with a tier list of Linux desktop environments, something fun taht definitely won't annoy anyone.
I'll also look at why I decided to ditch Android to go back to iOS, but also why iOS isn't really a good choice either.
I'll look at the Twitter 2.0 vision (no Musk or analysis of what he's done, just the vision for the "everything app"), and why it's really undesirable for society as a whole.
Technically, elementary OS 7 should also be released, so I'll look at that in depth, and I'll make a deep dive on Mastodon, explaining how it works, and the differences in culture between Twitter and Mastodon, plus lifting some misconceptions or half truths we see floating around.
I'll also take a look at the alternatives to Google Drive, and this one should be plentiful (it's the neasiest to replace from the whole Google suite).
And now, what you can vote on!
- Android and Chrome OS: should they be counted as Linux? It's undeniable these 2 systems have met with success, and they're technically using Linux as their kernel, so should we include them as Linux successes, or are they not part of our operating system family?
- The Internet as we know it is dying: a look at how fragmented the internet is becoming, with walls being erected in lots of countries that are starting to split up the free circulation of information
- The Smart Home is a privacy nightmare: a quick tour of why you should be careful what you put in your house, and which peripherals and vendors you want to include in that
- Privacy Fails: a more fun, top X video listing the biggest privacy problems we ever encountered and if they've been fixed since
- How to handle PDFs on Linux: reading them is easy, but editing them, changing pages, adding new ones, signing them, etc... Not that much, so we'll look at tools you can use to handle all of that
Vote for the ones you want to see, and I'll work on the 3 with the most votes!

The Linux Experiment
Yeah, it looks like it's really hard to set something up that doesn't use the cloud or any third party server

Oof this is a tough one, the only option I am meh on is the Android topic. The rest are all interesting.

I'm planning on incorporating some "smart" stuff into my dumb house and my god, just finding a wall plug that works with home assistant and doesn't require a separate app, with a separate account, with http calls to servers in China is impossible! I gave up and just ordered some zigbee switches that hopefully will work with home assistant.
