  Since #Linux is now 35 years old, I took a look at where we are in terms of desktop, server, smartphone and gaming, so see the massive progress we made as a family of operating systems, what works well, and what still needs work. Year of the Linux desktop? No, but there's definitely some kind of strong push right now! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGiiDyrGl7Q

  Here is this week's #Linux and #OpenSource News show! In this one, we talk about the "10% marketshare" for Linux, which is likely not the right number but still shows a good trend, we talk about "LLM hijacking" becoming the new SEO, and a lot of cool stuff KDE is doing to make Linux much better: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCJ9U_jTprM

  Here is this week's #Linux and #OpenSource News video! In this one, the AUR is having more and more problems, Valve funds Mesa drivers for Windows, GoG works on a Linux client, and the Framework Laptop 13 Pro looks like a good pick to run Linux: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTVeC-GyKWQ

  Let's talk about #Linux distributions, applications, end of life and unsupported software, and all of that stuff, because as the "distro vs apps" debate heats up again, I think it's time we finally learned that graphical apps shouldn't be correlated to the system's base in any way, shape or form. Let's see why Linux distros need to evolve now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ebkQq5TcMw

  This week's #Linux and #OpenSource News video is a bit early this week, as I won't be available tomorrow (another #Warhammer tournament!). In this one, we have Torvalds talking about A.I. in two different ways, and also talking about the "social" aspect of Open Source, we have Wayland beating x11 in gaming benchmarks, and Age Verification growing quietly in a lot of countries: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NePj4xHU8I

  Here is this week's #Linux and #OpenSource News show! In this one, we have Germany kicking Microsoft out in another state, Windows 11 dropping marketshare like crazy, some insane distro sabotage, and more: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpRiMPuoqFg

  So, I have spent 30 days with a #Linux phone (#Ubuntu Touch): here are the apps I used, what I tweaked, what worked well, what was hacky, what didn't work at all, and why I'll be sticking with it. https://https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWWPebWHs8s

  Here is this week's #Linux and #OpenSource News video, where we might have been handed the biggest opportunity we've ever had to take over the PC market, through gaming, and then using that installed base to push towards more desktop use. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWxTP8FDocg

  Here is this week's #Linux and #OpenSource News show, in which we talk about the Steam machine (looks disappointing to me), about Epic's very own GIT, about some stuff happening at Wikipedia, plus some cool stuff for XFCE, Cosmic, Linux Gaming, and more! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5aE1FpFmtY

  It's been about 5 years since I've looked at Ubuntu Touch (or UBPorts?), so it was time I revisited this alternative OS. And now with Waydroid in a really usable state, it is really close to being fully usable for me. Let's take a look! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8LzTow_X5b4

  I keep getting questions about what I use on #Linux, so I decided to make a video listing every single tool, app, utility, desktop, whatever, that I use on a day to day basis. Here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2RXI7yuIQI

  I finally took a look at #CachyOS. I benchmarked it, compared to #ArchLinux, on the @tuxedocomputers InfinityBook Max 16, to see if it delivered real performance benefits, or if it was mostly hype. It's a pretty long video, but if you want to learn about CachyOS, or that specific laptop, it's the right one to watch! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGQNM6fcikM

  I realized I completely forgot to post the News podcast on Saturday. I really suck, sometimes, so, yeah, it's live now: https://podcast.thelinuxexp.com/@tlenewspodcast/episodes/no-age-verification-for-linux-new-kde-theme-flatpak-redesign-with-systemd

  Over the years, I've managed to lock myself into a corner made of proprietary software, even though I use #linux I decided to make changes, so here is how I'm removing almost all proprietary software from my Phone and my PC: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7rtuxo1Bw04

  TIme for this week's #Linux and #OpenSource news video! As a heads-up, I'll be on vacation next week, so no News video next Saturday, although I'll be back wit the regular schedule the week after that :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQ2Pb0YNeqE

  Here is our weekly #Linux and #OpenSource news video! In this one, we have more Office Suite beef between the Document Foundation and Euro Office, we have some really nice Plasma 6.7 features coming, and Chrome downloading a 4 gigs local A.I. model in the background without any consent: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lC_d-65yMxY

  As a #Linux user, you sort of need to be a bit careful with the tech (hardware or software) you go with, and I've made a few mistakes in the past years, so I felt it would be cool to look at my worst tech purchases as a Linux user, but also in general: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CT7Fp2Zv5fY

  Time for a new poll on the channel, this time on how much, or how little you customize your desktop experience! https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdr9rDWwdqSwnC9LeGcY_9XSHkGH-0YERbb7YzC5wZSskyJKw/viewform I moved to Google Forms for this one, as Nextcloud Forms didn't let me split things into sections depending on a previous answer. Still no personal data collected on my end. As always, I'll make a video about the results, to see whether desktop defaults are sane, or if...

  French authorities declare the use of Microsoft Office and Google Docs illegal in schools and education markets, as they don’t follow GDPR and might disturb later competition by making students used to these proprietary solutions. https://questions.assemblee-nationale.fr/q16/16-971QE.htm

  Time for this week's #Linux and #OpenSource News video, which includes Germany's plan to move to Open Source software, more Age Verification crap piling up, as well as the Kernel 7.0 and its new policy to accept A.I. contributions, and a lot more ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IkAld223VYI

  #Ubuntu 26.04 should release today, so here is my look at all the major changes in there, and there are many! Since 26.04 is an LTS, it will also be the base for a lot of popular distros in the future, and some changes here will likely affect these distros too, so even if you don't use Ubuntu specifically, it's worth a look! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4MYxtL0AW2g

  It's been 3 years since I made a video to showcase a few #OpenSource alternatives to popular, proprietary applications, so here it is, a list of alternatives to the likes of Notion, Obsidian, Outlook, Office 365, OmniFocus, OneNote, and more ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4NdlRlie-A8

  Hey everyone! I'm working on a video to see what the Linux community (or at least people who follow me) actually use. So, I created a little form, hosted on my Nextcloud (hopefully it's up to the task...) It's only up for 2 days, so don't hesitate to share it around, it will help me "touch grass" and see if my preconceived notions are confirmed, or invalidated! https://nextcloud.thelinuxexp.com/index.php/apps/forms/s/XQRzMrs8QTtCjDfSyP4koA9o...

  It's time for this week's #Linux and #OpenSource News video, this time with a big segment on Age Verification on Linux, since this thing is escalating, with projects saying they'll never comply with these laws, and others looking at ways to support them. We also have SteamOS moving to Wayland, Ubuntu making a few interesting moves, and more ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IYtqghw3LVY
