Welcome to Episode 76 of Destination Linux This episode was live streamed on Youtube and Twitch on Sunday June 23rd Email Comments: Thank you for your show, long time listener, first time commenter. I am a regular openSUSE user and contributor to the project and it seems like the review of the distro was greatly glossed over and viewed from a very “Ubuntu” lens. For starters, YaST, a tool that an Ubuntu user wouldn’t be familiar with, once you use it, it is a fantastic collection of system configuration tools. It is a central “shop” to get things configured very nicely. In contrast, to make configurations in Ubuntu, I have to search through a menu of items that may or may not be system or root level settings. If you are used to hunting around for system configurations, it’s not a big deal but for me, I could never consider many distributions because of the lack of a tool LIKE YaST. Also, if you want to live in the terminal, the ncures interface is just as useful. From a sysadmin perspective, this capability makes managing remote systems even easier through the terminal where I do not have to remember all the commands. The package manager, Zypper, was also glossed over. Zypper’s ability to manage multiple repositories and so very cleanly perform updates or even downgrades is the best I have ever used. Very stable, reliable and on the rolling model gives you spectacular control over your upgrades. Another feature of openSUSE that seems to be glossed over is the ability to test out multiple Desktop Environments on the same install. I can have KDE Plasma, Gnome, MATE and Budgie installed concurrently and switch between them without any consequences. As far as your challenges go with installing openSUSE, I can’t speak for that. I haven’t had issues but I am not one to dual boot. I will give other distros a spin in virtual machine. I use BTRFS on root but I do have a sizable partition in order to allow for the snapshots to be made upon each round of package installs. I know you guys have a good relationship with a lot of the Ubuntu crowd but it would have been nice to have had someone from the openSUSE crowd to be able to discuss the features with you, like Richard Brown. Just a thought Thanks for your show, I do enjoy it. CubicleNate *We want to apologize to those who sent us e-mails we missed in April. Apparently our SPAM filters got excited.

Tensions are heating up to declare the best BO player. Even potential for US vs UK battle (Popey & Wimpey) vs (Rocco and Ryan?) On our individual Youtube channels we’ve been showing off our skills and making the UK team sweat… Ballistic Overkill is a competitive FPS with incredible graphics and Vulkan support. It features fast paced action with character customization, multiple battle modes like King of the Hill, or Capture points. We have finally found a game to get Rocco and Michael away from Rocket League if at least for a few hours a week.

Welcome to Episode 75 of Destination Linux Your hosts this week are Rocco, Ryan, Michael, and Zeb. Viewer Email Hi, Big fan of the show, i listen as soon as i can to each new episode. I thought you would be interested to know that Linux is already dominant in the high end VFX world. I work for a small animation studio where Linux is the pro-dominant OS, but is the industry standard, not the exception. There are several high-end products which work on Linux, including Autodesk Maya, Mudbox, Foundry Modo, Nuke, Davinci Resolve, Fusion, SideFX Houdini. The large VFX Studios including Pixar, Dreamworks, ILM, Weta also use linux. (CentOS is the main distro used, i heard ILM just switched to CentOS 7 from 6.). While Video editing is still a mix of Mac/Windows/Linux, with linux being the weaker for video editing it is still possible to create high-end work from start to finish on Linux using industry leading software. Also Ryan should try EXWM, i now use that after having used i3 for about 7 years.

Welcome to Episode 73 of Destination Linux Reader Email Hi Rocco, Cheers to y’all for Destination Linux, BDLL and all your individual channels In the latest DL episode, someone made a joke about running Linux on a C64. Here’s a picture that proves it can be done. And with Mint no less.. though after achieving this, as a result of severe sleep deprivation from not only the install – but the transfer from ISO to floppies as well – apologies, but I was too tired to neatly stack the 100,000+ 5.25 inch floppy disks I used for the install so I that could provide that photographic evidence as well I hope at best it gives you a laugh (or four).. Otherwise I guess a chuckle, chortle or possibly even a mild smirk may suffice… Distro News openSUSE 15 Released Linux Lite 4.0 released Canonical Has Released Date for 18.04.1 LTS – popey Ubuntu 18.10 Release Date, New Features & More – popey Download Ubuntu 18.10 Daily Builds for Testing Gnome gets [in my best doctor evil voice] a one million dollar donation Check out @gnome’s Tweet or check out their Initiatives Budgie To Remerge Into Solus Project Linux Kernel 4.18 Gets Multi-Touch Device Support KDE Outlines New Goals On Reddit AMA KDE Connect Gets Even Cooler Software HydraPaper App To Set Different Wallpapers Hardware Officially Supported Ubuntu Monitor/PC By LG Phoronix Starts 14th Birthday Bash With Linux 12 Way GPU Benchmarks horonix 14th birthday coming up in May.
