How did you set your sights on tighter groupings of choices, when you realized that it would be effectively impossible to try every distro, every desktop environment, every piece of software which could possibly meet some need that you had? What did you do, to try to simplify things (and manage the complexity, so it didn’t get out of hand)? Did these approaches work, generally speaking, over the longer term? What did you decide you wanted to seek out, from a technical perspective, which would keep your Linux journey the most stress-free? (Seeking answers on forums, podcasts, instructional videos, etc. is an obvious answer here, no need to mention it). Likewise to 4, what did you decide you wanted to avoid?"

Totally agree. UX means so very very much to overall success these days. But many Linux geeks seem to have this puzzlingly locked-on focus on super low level things, quibbling a little too much about totally revamping major low-level subsystems that unfortunately only make things just a little bit better, at the end of the day. If they took that same attention to detail to the UX, they would make 10x the impact on the world, IMHO. jastombaugh says “@gabmus Absolutely perfectly worded!!! Thank you for posting this. Your point makes total sense, and I wish I had the power to point this out in so many other forums and on a host of podcasts. There is a huge need for Open Source UX designers. I just wish we had the ‘Designers Toolkit’ that could enable these people to ‘rearrange a programs ‘flowchart’ of operations’ or ‘grab an icon/window element’ and edit it. Obviously, I can’t begin to imagine what kind of a powerful program it would take to implement this. But if there was only some way that would enable OS UX Designers to apply ‘UX-Interfaces’ to applications in a similar way that themes can be applied to Desktop Environments.

On this episode of DLN Xtend, we introduce two new hosts. While also talking about how one area of Linux that might not interest us, can still have an affect on the parts we do care about. While also seeing what the hosts have been up too. Topics: 00:00 Introduction 05:30 New DLN Podcast: Sudo Show 07:23 Why should I care about Linux gaming? 13:23 Front Page Linux Tutorial = Easily Install JACK Audio with Ubuntu Studio Installer 15:03 Linux Mint "forbids" Snaps. Is this Good or Bad? 29:21 Host Related Interests 42:38 Wrap Up Why should I care about Linux gaming? - Denuvo Anti-Cheat to Work on Linux through Proton - Proton Release Notes - OpenRGB has some good tools for using the RGB of your motehrboard, RAM and other RGB peripherals. However, Piper adds great functionality to your gaming mouse. - Does better gaming expand the user base? What does that mean for non-gaming Linux users? Comments from the Destination Linux Discourse about the Linux Mint vs Snaps discussion: Ethanol says “…Personally I don’t mind what Mint is doing. It’s kind of like the whole telemetry debate. I’d rather my system presume non-consent until I explicitly give it. If Mint wants to forbid snapd from being automatically installed that’s peachy, since I already expect to have to manually install it when I want it anyways, like most things.” BertN45 says “Basically I prefer snaps and if available I want to install them. But after installing LibreOffice in a snap, I detected that I lost access to the Dutch language libraries and installing it again did not work for the snap. So I had to delete the snap again. I’m interested how the snap people want to work with language dependencies. If they can’t solve this major issue, snaps are for the USA, UK and some other larger countries only!” jastombaugh says “Well said. I agree with Clem’s approach and, in general, I totally understand and approve of the Mint philosophy on issues like this. It feels like we NEED both outlooks, like poles, in the linux-phere because of the innovation AND the safeguards they bring to the users.” ak2020 says “Although I don’t use Linux Mint myself, I’ve generally thought of their team to be fairly in-touch with their community. Having watched this video I agree Linux Mint are overreacting and taking away choice from their community by making it so hard to install snaps. I still think if they want to become independent of Ubuntu for whatever reason, first-off they should base directly on Debian, secondly, yes, why don’t they have their own infrastructure if they want that much independence and control?” Ulfnic says “It’s like Debian and Mint both saying… “hey man, we’re cool letting you have this but we want you to take a few extra steps to make sure you understand this goes outside of the ethics you chose us for and we’re just making sure you really know” and in Mint’s case, that step is a single terminal command.” Matt: - Gaming Deal Recommendation- Dreamfall Chapters (https://store.steampowered.com/app/237850/Dreamfall_Chapters/) - Weird Distro to try Ubuntu Unity Education edition (Not avaiable directly on site yet) (https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1m0LjZDeY-4Cj3vJX8Ymqls14b3gQVHEt?usp=sharing) Wendy: More info in DL episode 89 Kernel Poppin’ on what I use and why.

Thanks for joining us for episode 21 of DLN Xtend (https://dlnxtend.com/). Nate talks about designing a roll out pantry in Fusion 360 and Eric tests the virtues of virtual machines, virtual environments and containers. We received some listener feedback from ThatComputerKid about how he feels EndeavourOS is not Arch. We thank DigitalOcean for sponsoring DLN Xtend. DigitalOcean offers the simplest, most developer-friendly cloud platform. It's optimized to make managing and scaling apps easy with an intuitive API, multiple storage options, integrated firewalls, load balancers and so much more. You can get all this plus access to their world-class customer support for as low as $5 per month.

Get started on Digital Ocean for 2 Months FREE with a $100 credit by going to do.co/dln (https://do.co/dln). In the DLN Community segment, there was a post in the Destination Linux Network Discourse forum about learning computer programming (https://discourse.destinationlinux.network/t/interested-in-becoming-a-programmer/1828), specifically which languages are worth learning. Eric ignores all that and focuses on the process of actually learning to code and how it's been a series of stops and starts for him. In case you haven't heard, Linux++ (https://frontpagelinux.com/?s=Linux%2B%2B) is now on Front Page Linux (https://frontpagelinux.com). Linux++ is a weekly dive into the major topics, events, and headlines throughout the Linux world published by Eric Londo (https://frontpagelinux.com/author/eric-londo/). Eric is an environmental engineer with a passion in software development, the open-source software community, and especially the GNU/Linux OS. His take on the events of the week are in-depth, concise and well researched. It's an excellent resource for all things Linux and Open Source and we highly recommend checking it out. On Hardware Addicts episode 8 (https://hardwareaddicts.org/8) they discuss new AMD laptop processors featuring a lower TDP (thermal design power (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_design_power)) which promises lower heat output and better battery life. This gets us thinking about the race to the middle that the ARM and x86 CPU architectures seem to be engaged in. Also on Hardware Addicts episode 8 (https://hardwareaddicts.org/8), the topic of USB audio devices was discussed which led Nate to wonder if having a hardware solution for audio is a better choice than controlling things in software with the likes of PulseAudio. That's all for this episode.

Destination Linux (https://destinationlinux.org/episode-167/) had Vinzenz Vietzke of Tuxedo Computers (https://www.tuxedocomputers.com/) as a guest who explained their stance on consumer's right to repair. We are firm believers in this right and delve into this as well as planned obsolescence common in many electronics. The Destination Linux Network launched a new website recently called Front Page Linux (https://frontpagelinux.com/). This is a news and commentary site focused on Linux, Open Source, community and more. Eric has already published several articles (https://frontpagelinux.com/author/eric-adams/) and Nate is planning to do so soon. The Ask Noah Show (https://destinationlinux.network/shows/ask-noah-show/) recently discussed the art of troubleshooting and what's involved with being an effective problem solver. We touch on how troubleshooting has played a big part in our lives and how we are passing it on to our children. That's all for this week.

They have a blog post (https://foldingathome.org/2020/03/15/coronavirus-what-were-doing-and-how-you-can-help-in-simple-terms/) describing what they are doing and how you can help. Also on This Week in Linux, there is a new release (https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/news/) of Clonezilla live (https://clonezilla.org/), a partition and disk imaging/cloning program. We discuss the benefits of using this type of software to create full snapshots of disks and partitions. That's all for this week.

Get started on Digital Ocean for 2 Months FREE with a $100 credit by going to do.co/dln (https://do.co/dln). Destination Linux (https://destinationlinux.network/shows/destination-linux/) talked about the open source document viewer KOReader (http://koreader.rocks/) which peaked Nate's interest and leads to a discussion on e-readers. Ask Noah brings up the recent news of an AMD vulnerability discovered as part of a study funded by Intel and also the excellent Opensource.Builders (https://opensource.builders) website which showcases open source alternatives to common proprietary software. Jason Evangelho of Linux for Everyone (https://destinationlinux.network/shows/linux-for-everyone/) recently interviewed Alan Pope (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AlanPope) of Canonical and asked some interesting questions. We break down a few of the more interesting aspects of their conversation. On the DasGeek (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIme1suHyN7cAGrTy8RBdhQ) YouTube channel, Ryan covered using the El Gato Streamdeck Mini (https://youtu.be/6M0hfmbLfmM) with Linux which led Eric to wonder if there was a way to use a general-purpose tablet to do the same thing rather than buying dedicated hardware. Turns out, there is a very easy way to accomplish this with obs-websocket (https://github.com/Palakis/obs-websocket) and OBS Tablet Remote (http://t2t2.github.io/obs-tablet-remote/). Thanks to Venn Stone of LinuxGameCast (https://linuxgamecast.com/) for the tutorial (https://linuxgamecast.com/2018/11/quick-dirty-remote-control-obs-studio/). That's all for this week.

In this week's community focus, there was a great discussion (https://discourse.destinationlinux.network/t/plasma-5-18-what-has-your-experience-been/1530) on KDE Plasma 5.18 and we get the warm fuzzies from a comment in Telegram (https://destinationlinux.org/telegram). Stuart Langridge (https://kryogenix.org/) guest hosted on Destination Linux (https://destinationlinux.network/shows/destination-linux/) and their guest was Ikey Doherty discussing his latest project, Lispy Snake (https://lispysnake.com/), an independent game studio. On This Week in Linux (https://destinationlinux.network/shows/this-week-in-linux/), Michael Tunnell (https://destinationlinux.network/creators/michael-tunnell/) covered the Manjaro 19.0 release (https://forum.manjaro.org/t/manjaro-19-0-released-gnome-kde-xfce-architect/126010) which I made a video (https://youtu.be/t73ChYmcQ6o) about and also Facebook becoming a sponsor of the OBS Studio project (https://obsproject.com/blog/facebook-becomes-a-premiere-sponsor).

Welcome to DLN Xtend Episode 15. This time, some acquaintances of Nate have asked him for help getting started with Linux and helping his son with an electronics engineering course. Eric goes deeper into Linux audio with JACK and Reaper. We thank DigitalOcean for sponsoring DLN Xtend. DigitalOcean offers the simplest, most developer-friendly cloud platform. It’s optimized to make managing and scaling apps easy with an intuitive API, multiple storage options, integrated firewalls, load balancers and so much more.

Dalton Durst from the UBports (https://ubports.com/) project was a guest host on Destination Linux (https://destinationlinux.org/episode-161/). They discussed the PinePhone (https://www.pine64.org/pinephone/) Braveheart edition and how UBports was progressing on the device. We, of course, couldn't be happier about the prospect of a Linux smartphone. On the Ask Noah (https://podcast.asknoahshow.com/167) show, Noah doesn't see a place for rolling release distros. We disagree and think they serve a need just as fixed release distributions do. Jason Evangehlo of Linux for Everyone (https://www.linux4everyone.com/28-i-make-foss-salient-os) covers the negativity surrounding proprietary software and dual booting. It's an attitude that bothers us as well. That's all for this week.
