Microsoft Linux? Fedora Kills Off LibreOffice and Ubuntu Has a New Project
Microsoft has a new Linux distro, Fedora isn't in the RPM business anymore and Ubuntu is going immutable?==== Special Thanks to Our Patrons! ====https://thelinuxcast.org/patrons/===== Follow us 🐧🐧 ======Discord - https://discord.gg/bPJ4A3bPbVOdysee - https://odysee.com/$/invite/@thelinuxcast:4Mastodon- https://fosstodon.org/@thelinuxcastSubscribe at http://thelinuxcast.orgContact us email@thelinuxcast.orghttps://facebook.com/thelinuxcastTelegram Group - https://t.me/+9lYoIuLh0JIyMzcxTyler - https://bit.ly/3wk9LNy on Odysee , https://y...
I Bought an iPad
So, I bought an iPad. I, like many people, went through my Apple phase back in college. I fortunately grew out of it or my bank account would have severely suffered over the years. That doesn't mean I don't have envy every once in a while for those Apple folks who get to enjoy that awesome hardware. But that usually goes away pretty quickly.Honestly, I didn't even think I'd ever own another non-iPhone Apple product again. Their computers are nice hardware-wise, but I'm not at all interested in Mac OS. Linux is my jam, as the...

Early Thoughts on Nano
I am writing this in nano. I challenged myself earlier thisweek to use Nano for a whole month, and I've stuck with it foralmost a week.Almost.I'm not quitting, but I've come so close so many times.Actually, I come close every single time I open the damneditor. Yes, it's that bad.No, I guess it's not that bad, but it's that bad for someonewho has been using Vim for years. Which is me.Most of my thoughts on Nano I'm going to save for the video Imake about it at the end of the month, no sense in having a tonof spoilers....

Where Do I Get Video Ideas?
Someone asked me how I come up with my ideas for videos, so I thought that I'd write a blog post about it. I don't know that what I'm about to write is all that interesting, but who knows, maybe it will inspire someone.So the plain answer to the question of where I get my ideas is "all over the place." No doubt everyone has notice that we Linux YouTubers tend to copy each other quite blatantly. I *try* not to do that too much, but I do gain inspiration from some of the older videos of my contemporaries. It's a good sourc...

Wrapping Up Redcore - Things That Could Be Better
This blog post was supposed to be done last week, but alas it got away from me. I still wanted to cover this topic, though, so I might as well go ahead and do it. I know it has been a while since I lost the challenge, but this is the last bit I needed to do before I can put it in the dustbin of history, as they say. So I want to talk about 5 things that I feel Redcore could do better. In the exclusive [patron only podcast](https://patreon.com/thelinuxcast) I posted a couple weeks ago, I talked about the things I really liked about Redcore. So, ...

Gruvbox Remains The BEST Color Scheme!
How many people do you think could write a blog post about their obsession with a color scheme? Well, you know at least one, because that is what I'm about to do. Now, I have in fact made a [video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWjNQbhGz4E) about it already. I have considered making another video about it.I love Gruvbox that much.The funniest thing is that I didn't used to like it at all. Brown isn't really my color, neither is orange for that matter, and when I saw it for the first time I was not impressed. I thought it quite ugl...

I Have a Hoarding Problem
I have a problem.I don't think it's actually a problem, but it feels like it's a problem.I hoard tabs.Now I don't think there's anyone who watches my content that is all that surprised that I like tabs in every application, nor that I tend to use them an awful lot. I have always been very upfront about my love and devotion to all things tabulated. Okay, Matt, a little creepy there, but it's true. I ❤️ tabs and I miss them when I don't have them.But I do have a bit, a smidge, a little, hoarding problem. I may have...

I'm Bored With Redcore
I'm almost, almost, 2 months into the #6MonthLinuxChallenge. Almost.I'm sick of Redcore. It's not as if there is anything wrong with it, though I'm having an issue keeping my clock appropriately set. Redcore has been fine, as I said in my video a few days ago. It's stable enough, I have access to most of the software that I want, and it just works.But I'm astonishingly bored with it, to tell you the truth. Maybe my expectation of using a "Gentoo Based distro" is that more things would go wrong? Maybe I'm look...
