Linux Unplugged

Has Fedora pulled ahead of Ubuntu? We take a look at the new Fedora 36 and Ubuntu 22.04 releases. Special Guest: Alex Kretzschmar.

We just wrapped up our East Coast meetup and have a bunch of great stories to share. Plus some Nix ups and downs, and more.

How we nearly crashed our Matrix server; what we did wrong and how we're fixing it. Plus an update on elementary OS, GNOME's next chapter, and we kick off the NixOS Challenge. NixOS Challenge Goals: Study the Nix Expression Language (https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Nix_Expression_Language) Setup at least one Nix/NixOS system (https://nixos.org/manual/nixos/stable/). Install htop (https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/tools/system/htop/default.nix). Join the Nix Nerds Matrix channel (https://linuxunplugged.com/matrixinfo). Post a screenshot in the NixOS Challenge GitHub (https://github.com/JupiterBroadcasting/nixos-challenge/). Complete all the above before the end of April. Special Guest: Danielle Foré.

We explore what makes NixOS so powerful, and why it might be the future of all Linux distributions. Plus we announce a community-wide NixOS challenge for the month of April.

Why GNOME 42 is the release we’ve all been waiting for. Plus, we attempt to install Linux on an M1 MacBook live on the show.

How each of us asks for features and help from free software projects, and one of our most prescient soapboxes in a while.

We surprise each other with three different topics, hidden away by encryption in our show notes - we literally have no idea what we're talking about this week.

We look at two new options that enable ANYONE to run a personal server at home or a small business.

We put the sports car of Linux laptops to the test. Is it the multi-tasking machine it claims to be? And an essential update on the show.

Linux is the master of small computers, and this week it’s going to the next level. We chat with the creator of the $15 Linux box and share some significant updates for the Raspberry Pi. Special Guest: Brian Benchoff.

There's just something off about Ubuntu these days, this week we put it all together.

We all take it for granted, but it is one of the best things about Linux. We share the history of the live CD, how it all got started, and the times it saved our bacon.

SUSE had an awkward week; we breakdown the very mixed launch of SUSE Liberty Linux. Plus, we've cracked what's driving Linux Distribution adoption these days.

We make some last-minute changes to our server setup and catch up on a bunch of thought-provoking feedback. Special Guests: Martin Wimpress and Neal Gompa.

A new initiative uses open source to keep podcasting decentralized and add new features. We chatted with Dave Jones behind the Podcast Index. Special Guest: Dave Jones.

Our new server setup is bonkers, but we love it.

We do our best to predict what will happen in 2022, and own up to what we thought might happen in 2021. Special Guests: Alan Pope, Drew DeVore, and Joe Ressington.

It's the second annual Unplugged Tuxies; our community votes on the best projects, distros, desktops, and services of 2021.

We each try out the new Pop_OS! and Carl Richell from System76 joins us to get into the details. Plus why we feel Pop might be the new Ubuntu. Special Guest: Carl Richell.

This was not the year of the Linux Desktop. We’ve been slacking on the mailbag, so we go on a feedback frenzy and answer some hard questions about desktop Linux. Special Guests: Carl George and Martin Wimpress.
