    Episode 58: Power Up and Freak Out

    A talk at the Linux App Summit about software sustainability -- and the environmental impact of power-hungry code -- was a shocking wake-up call that's too important to ignore. Please give a warm welcome to the creator of that talk, KDE's Joseph P. De Veaugh-Geiss.


    In this episode of Linux For Everyone, we discuss Joseph's vital work with KDE Eco, and the path the project is forging to create a culture of software sustainability and inspire more power-efficient software. Our conversation might dramatically change how you think about the apps you use, and the potentially devastating ecological footprint of the software installed on millions -- if not billions -- of devices.


    Joseph and I both hope this episode inspires more conversation and more awareness.To that end, here is a long list of resources and links to help you better understand the situation, and to get directly involved!

    Episode 55: Mycroft AI Interview, M1 Macs and More!

    Episode 55: Mycroft AI Interview, M1 Macs and More!

    Welcome back to Linux For Everyone, welcome /Home, and get ready for our longest episode ever! We kick things off with some outstanding job news from Schykle, then Jerry tells a horror story about his phone eavesdropping on his friends. We also catch up on our individual privacy journeys that kicked off in Episode 54.


    After that, Jerry drives the Software Spotlight by expressing his love for the ridiculously useful media tool Rapid Photo Downloader.


    The middle section of the show is highlighted by an illuminating interview with Mycroft AI founder Joshua Montgomery, that reaches into Mycroft's roots and its potential. Joshua also argues for privacy initiatives like the right to be forgotten, as well as the "corporate death penalty." But he also offers hope for the future of smart speakers and virtual assistants.


    We're even treated to the first "public" reading of his new children's book!


    In the back half, Schykle and Jason launch the new "Tech For Everyone" segment by discussing their shared love of the Apple M1 systems, Asahi Linux, setting up a Time Machine server on Fedora, and a related chat about the Linux and Apple software ecosystems.


    Kick back, grab your favorite beverage, and let's dive in to this monster!

Awesome! Restored my love for Linux.

Whiny episodes of no value to Linux

I've listened to 4 or 5 episodes of the host talking about burnout, how great it is to get proprietary software on Linux and why Microsoft building a browser for Linux (with the sole purpose of harvesting user data for ads) is so great for Linux. As if no modern chromium engine browsers like Brave or Degoogled chromium exist. He's not coming to the conversation with vast Linux knowledge so it's not like we are learning anything and app recommendations are nothing really unique. If he is so burned out then why keep making it?

The telegram is full of normies and weebs with bad takes like sToCK aNDroId iS LInUX and they report people for not sharing their opinions.

The show id 90% gaming topics but if you don't care about proprietary software any big tech tracking then why don't you just use Windows and make your life easy?

I could overlook the cringe lofi alternative rock if the content was good but it's just not. We don't need podcasts pushing the Linux community the wrong direction.

Dumping it finally

This was a good podcast at first. Then there were silly audio clips in between segments that lasted way to long and wasted too much time. Then he started talking less and less about Linux and started whining a lot. Finally dumped this podcast today, thankfully there are lots of other food Linux podcasts out there.
