I've been taking notes for a new episode of Linux For Everyone. I think it's time.

FEDORA LINUX 39 is stepping up to the GAME! :fedora: ๐ŸŽฎ :linux:

Release 39 of this top Linux OS will boost something called "vm.max_map_count" - to make Windows-only games further fly on Linux.

The goal is to match the ways of Valve's gaming marvels SteamOS / Steam Deck.

@Linux @fedora Very awesome! But worth mentioning that it's a proposal at this point, not a final goal.

Trying to rank the new shows but gosh have there been many seasons since 2017!!! Here we go:

#1 DIS s1
#2 LOW s3
#3 PRO s1

#4 DIS s3
#5 PIC s1
#6 LOW s2

#7 SNW s1
#8 LOW s1
#9 DIS s4

PIC s2
PIC s3
DIS s2

The gaps mark gaps in quality for me.

@jynersolives I'm flabbergasted that you liked S1 + S2 of Picard more than S3.

@jynersolives I respect this argument, thanks.

Still looking for my "forever Linux laptop." The one I'll put ALL my stickers on.

At one point I thought it would be the @system76 Oryx Pro but 17-inchers are big and & power hungry.

Then I wanted it to be my Apple M1, but app compatibility (ARM) has me a little concerned.

I need all day battery life, great display, MODEST dedicated GPU or strong integrated GPU.

Should I just do what everyone else has been doing and buy a ? The T-14 looks pretty sweet.

@fallenhitokiri I can't cite specific examples, but pretty much anything that falls under the umbrella of audio + video production.

And gaming...

@killyourfm@layer8.space avatar

@wiredfire @system76 That's the laptop that the ethical partition of my brain wants.

@pimeys
I was NOT expecting what is effectively a tie when it comes to overall performance. That's encouraging.

@kerfuffle I can understand not liking the keyboard layout. But I will say Thinkpads inarguably have the best keyboard comfort and overall feel.

But maybe in your case, an XPS 13 is worth exploring? The displays on those are incredible.

EDIT: VAT and shipping put a System76 laptop too far out of reach.

@popey Dear lord, that thing is stunning!

@mdiluz Haha, well I love a concise answer.

@killyourfm@layer8.space avatar

@baldpolnareffart Everything about that excites me.

killyourfm,
@killyourfm@layer8.space avatar

@dflag84 @system76 I am pretty enthusiastic about that thing, but I first heard about their plans in 2019... I can't wait another 4 years!

killyourfm,
@killyourfm@layer8.space avatar

@janet Yea, eventually my M1 Air is going to be a KILLER Linux laptop. (And Asahi is coming along nicely, but it's an understandably complex and lengthy project)

killyourfm,
@killyourfm@layer8.space avatar

@dflag84 Honestly, no! But now apparently I need to put it back on my radar.

killyourfm,
@killyourfm@layer8.space avatar

@dflag84 @system76 OOOOOOOOK, they're printing prototypes and testing various panels, etc. That's serious progress!

@jerrmo It IS time for an L4E show, man...

@killyourfm@layer8.space avatar

@bashfulrobot @wimpy That means Wimpy AND Popey got the same laptop. That alone is a pretty compelling argument!

Hi @kde, I love almost all things , but please reconsider the development and inclusion of PlasmaTube in the KDE gear applications.

Regardless of your stance on , PlasmaTube is not dissimilar to outright stealing content. Invidious robs the producer of views, revenue, and engagement.

MANY of those content creators are producing FOSS and Linux content.

It's not a good look. And it's not something you should stand for.

killyourfm,
@killyourfm@layer8.space avatar

@Bro666 @kde 1: itโ€™s not my platform of choice. Youโ€™re putting words into my mouth.

2: When you consume content by willingly bypassing its original form of intended payment or price (in this case, viewing ads), is that not stealing?

Sometimes whatโ€™s even worse is that the content creator doesnโ€™t even get a view credited to them. Views and engagement are important for them.

killyourfm,
@killyourfm@layer8.space avatar

@Bro666 @kde Alsoโ€ฆ are you saying itโ€™s acceptable to punish the content creator because of YouTubeโ€™s policies?

I really enjoyed hearing Liam from @gamingonlinux on the latest Linux Downtime .

As always, great insights on the state of gaming & from someone who's been covering it for 14 years.

I'd love to hear someone devote an entire podcast episode to this topic: Does have TOO much of a stake in Linux gaming? What happens if they stop investing effort into it?

Give it a listen: https://linuxdowntime.com/linux-downtime-episode-70/

@gamingonlinux Ah I might have misheard that. Anyway, it was a fantastic episode. Do more of these!

Audon is a great real-time audio streaming service for the ! Think Spaces or Clubhouse, and you pretty much got it. You create a room for audio, where other people can listen to you, or just give them the role of speaker as well.

You can easily log in with your fediverse (Mastodon/Calckey/Pleroma) account, create a room, share the link, and you're ready to go!

Check it out at https://audon.space

Screenshot showing the room itself with my personal account as host and speaker, and this account as listener

@fediversereport Holy crap that was EASY. What an awesome tool!
