In this episode we spend a lot of time hyping things up, including some things you might not expect (from a Linux show, not so much Leo). We open up with Zorin making some money moves that helps WinBoat among a few other projects, then really dive into the show with Cosmic!
A bit about how we've fared now that the 1.0 Cosmic Epoch is here, how things have changed, and what other goodies System76 has up their sleeve (it's a lot!). Then, we spend some time dissecting Mozilla's newest AI move. It turns out, if you dig deep enough, there's still hope, contrary to the wildly hot-take style news about things so far. And our final topic, Snapscope, a way to scan your Snaps for vulnerabilities, but then end up chatting way more about Snaps in general.
There's also a bit of SteamThing errata we need to cover before ending it all on a high note for the holidays.
Hope you enjoy and we'll see you soon. Happy holidays!

Wayland is inevitable...
RAM is now Unobtanium
and a Linux User Space OS?
Today in User Space, we RE-remind everyone that Wayland is certainly the only way forward for the big dogs. Gnome had adopted a Wayland-only stance quite a while ago, and now it looks like Plasma will be following suit. Then, we dive into the wonderful world of Everything terrible that AI is doing to us in the form of RAM price hikes (as much as 500%... so far). And finally, we hit up the feedback that's been piling up! There's a little more to get to eventually, but it'll all get there since we went a little long in this episode.

This past week, as we were gearing up to record an episode, life had to just get in the way. We had a little wiggle room mid-week, so we decided to get something on tape anyway. Just something a little less structured. And so, this B-side was born.
The object of the game was to dive deep into Cosmic, the first "reference implementation" in our two desktop series (Cosmic and Plasma) and give you honest opinion, good and bad, as we experienced it on livestream... for two hours. Of course there are tangents, because, well, it's still us.
The desktop is quite amazing for something that's only (publicly) existed for a little over a year. We poke almost everything that comes with the default install of Pop_OS! 24.04. We'll poke the rest over the next few weeks.
We're interested to hear what you think, especially on the audio version. We tried to describe everything we saw as we went because obviously, you can't see, but surely there's room to improve. If you're curious, the video to go with all this is at:
https://youtu.be/RwGZiMTtaoI
The audio comes from a few odd sources, so things might not sound normal. Still turned out quite well, overall, but at 1:45:20, we lose Dan's voice. I know, I know, we should have had a backup. We usually have three! But the on-the-flyness of the recording kept us from remembering to even bring in the backup-backup. Either way, sorry about that! It's just Leo at that point, so bear with.
We know it's not a normal episode, but we still hope you enjoy!

Is Rust opensource?
Not all programming languages carry a license. Here is a Stackoverflow post about C language.
Rust has a dual MIT and Apache. license
Over the years many CVEs have been discovered for the Linux Kernel. Many of those involve memory corruption.

ukwan from YouTube
Just kept running 18.04 to 2024. Just switched to ESM and kept going.
jliljj from YouTube
I'd go for the upgrade, good way to stay current and learn.

Asked about unattended upgrades.
Leo and Dan both use them. By default they just apply security updates but Dan turns them on for everything.

siljrath from YouTube

Conan Kudo
In my experience: people who are less familiar with system installations don't have problems with Anaconda's hub-and-spoke model.
Amanita from Patreon
It is impossible to Backport everything. Using the latest software is best but using LTS or ESR solutions is also good.

Feedback
Mark from Saigon
Mark advocates for trying Snaps but understands they are not for everyone. He then dragged us into a merchandise tangent. Stay tuned for more on that.
Scott via Fireside
Scott uses Snaps on his Debian server. On the desktop he mostly sticks to Appimages and Flatpaks.
Dan from Matrix
Dan seldom uses Snaps and has them near the bottom of his ranking. The last one he remembers using is the Nextcloud snap on an Ubuntu server.
chraist also on Matrix
chraist uses Void and doesn't have Systemd therefore doesn't use Snaps. He asked if we thought there would ever be a Snap solution without Systemd.
bgt from Matrix
bgt says "meh, snaps aren't really that worth it to be honest. If there was no flatpak, sure, but like this, there's no need."
Marshman from Discord
Marshman thinks Snaps are a handy delivery method for proprietary applications.

Stuck on Lemmy and Lemmy is stuck on us
Dan broke it on upgrade, then restored it a few times and we are back on the old version. It is working though.
Head over to the forum or User Space section. We hope to post more things that are opinion rather than news. Give us some feedback on those so we can incorporate them into the show.

If your podcatcher made you feel like you have deja vu for episode 5:04, you probably were correct. We had a little mixup on the upload. Just delete the bad episode and re-download. You can verify the episode here - https://linuxuserspace.show/504

Feedback
Pjolt - Thunderbird for iOS?
Thunderbird is in the roadmap for iOS
Chris - Which Android device?
The Pixel has Chris's vote.
Chaos-r3v - Juniper Network switches
At least under the hood Junos OS is based on FreeBSD
Stan - Multiple Operating Systems on the same hardware
It is posssible to dualboot Ubuntu and Linux Mint or just about any Linux distribution.
As far as which distribution is best, that really depends on you and what works best in your mind.
