“The Year of the Linux Desktop: The Movie” is a short film made by Jay LaCroix that’s best described as a combination of “Mr. Robot meets Orphan Black”, with a tone modeled after 90’s hacker flicks. In this super-short mini-movie, Jay (playing a parody of himself) creates a video to commemorate the Linux community finally achieving the “Year of the Linux Desktop”, only to find out that Linux dominating “every computing device on the planet” may not be as great as it seems.
Note: Although this video was originally created for April Fools 2023, it’s very much a legitimate and entertaining short film that you won’t want to miss!
Here’s an interesting Raspberry Pi contraption – a case for your Pi that includes an OLED status display on the front! The “Pironman” from Sunfounder definitely stands out from most of the other Pi cases out there, but is it worth considering? In this review, Jay will give you his thoughts. Plus, you’ll see an overview of the build process as well.
Working with Linux servers is a fun and rewarding career. But for those getting started, the learning process can be a bit of a challenge to navigate. In this video, Jay goes over ten things he wish he knew about Linux when he first started. There’s definitely potential for more, if you’re interested…
With the recent takeover of the “Linus Tech Tips” YouTube channel, what can we learn? In this episode, Jay and Joao will discuss some of the ways you can prevent such an event from happening to you (and it’s not just YouTube that’s a target).
Did you know that Ubuntu users have access to a repository containing alternative Linux kernels? With Ubuntu’s “Mainline” kernels (and matching app) you can easily start hopping kernels almost as often as you hop distros.
GNOME 44, the latest release of the popular desktop environment for Linux, was released recently. As always, Learn Linux TV has a full review so you can check out all of its new features. It’s a great release, although one feature in particular completely missed its mark.
When it comes to Enterprise IT (and especially the security sector) we have our work cut out for us. As the workload increases, we look for tools and utilities to help us keep up with the demand. But what about artificial intelligence? As we discussed in a previous episode, AI is here to stay and will be making waves in security. In this episode, Jay and Joao dive in to just a few of the ways this tech might transform the security field and those that work within it (directly or indirectly).
Continuous Integration/Continuous delivery is a great thing for software engineers, but is this something that homelabbers can take advantage of? Absolutely! Some of the tooling around CI/CD can be of major benefit to automation within your homelab, and in this episode Jay and Tom will give you some thoughts on how it can be implemented.
With the Linux Crash Course series, you’ll learn everything you need to know in order to manage real Linux servers, one video at a time! Each episode is dedicated to one topic, and can be watched in any order. In this episode, we’ll explore the man command!
AlmaLinux OS was created around the time of “that big CentOS” announcement, and has been a worthy solution for enterprises that wish to continue with Enterprise Linux, but without the fear of the distribution being changed into something else entirely. As a drop-in replacement for Red Hat, AlmaLinux OS continues to tackle new ground and builds a strong community. In this video, Jay and Joao are joined by Atalay Kelestemur who works on the project to discuss this distribution – and there may even be some surprises in store.
