Linux OTC is the unscripted Linux podcast where you never know what we'll talk about. We don't even know what we'll talk about.
We had a lot of fun making this one. After some off-topic discussion, we get into a recent purchase by Bill. We get into Pop!_OS in a big way! Somehow we segue into shaving products. All this and way more! This would be an excellent episode to watch on YouTube!
It's another AI episode folks. We had a good conversation about it though. It's not all moaning, we promise. In the beginning, we're talking about some of Bill's hardware accelleration woes, and what he's doing to remedy it. We went ahead and added it to the end after the outro as a bit of "Bonus" content. All this and way more!
A rather "in-depth" conversation about the nature of language, thought, and communication starts us off. We inevitably move on to AI. Those things and more!
Why do we use Arch? Should we really be trying to get new people to use Linux? These are the questions that have occupied the minds of man since the beginning of time.
As we state early on in the show - This is our official Windows 11 episode! Majid has some technical difficulties which brings up some interesting conversations about the evolution of a Linux user's troubleshooting skills. We get our nerd on talking about Star Wars. All of this and way more!
We start off with Bill describing his experience at a recent trade show. Somehow this leads to a discussion on Arch and it's place in the eco-system. We "flow" into a discussion about cloud providers and the state of their encryption. We get into the browser world briefly. All of this and way more!
We start by waxing philosophical, then we lead to a conversation about AI in the workplace. We get into Manifest V-3. We get into Mozilla, and their recent decisions. We get into browsers and we think the future may influence our decisions moving forward.
We start off talking about our beginnings in podcasting, this leads to the different ways people build and maintain websites. We then go hard on Mozilla. All of this and so much more
We start off talking about wearables, more specifically smart watches. We get into a discussion about a re-imagining of the infrastructure of Majid's other show "Atypical Doctor Podcast." All of this stuff and so much more!
This week we start off waxing philosophical, but eventually we get into a discussion about how long our servers would last should something happen to us nerds of the house. We get into Docker, Synology, HD Homerun, and Apple. All of this, and so much more!
Just Bill and Majid this week. It all starts a bit rough with a little back and forth between the blokes, but gets better with a conversation about Linux for "normal" people. Is there more than one kind of "normal" user? We get into a conversation about Apple, family movie night, and "planned obsolescence." All of this and way more!
This week we point out the nature of kindness in the world. We get into a discussion about the challenges of religion and philosophy with regards to keeping up with technology. Perhaps we've given up too much to our devices. Majid works with Elementry OS 8 a little during the recording. Dual-booting becomes the "meat and potatoes" of this episode, where Eric describes the novel idea of creating multiple EFI system partitions. All of this and so much more!
This week it all starts with a rather brooding little discussion about religion. We get into why we use Linux, and why many people may use Linux. This rolls into a discussion about smart phones, smart watches and the like. Eric talks about his new Pixel watch. Majid shares a story about playing Badminton. We round it off with a discussion about earbuds, and the price points of many prolific devices.
This week Majid and Bill talk about their PC builds - the good, bad and just plain wrong. Majid describes devolving from restoring old PC parts to literally building his "Ship of Theseus" from new parts. Installing Arch somehow becomes part of the conversation; everything from installing, to how packages are handled on the distro. We then talk about video editing. Evolution of the spoken language, and learning foreign languages sort of round out the show. All of this and so much more!
