222: Coming Home to Self‑Hosted Fun | Linux Out Loud 124

linuxoutloud@mailfence.com (Linux Out Loud) — Sat, 25 Apr 2026 15:00:00 -0600

Matt is back in the driver’s seat, and it feels like coming home to a homelab with a few extra blinking lights. In this episode of Linux Out Loud, he, Wendy, and Nate catch up on VDO.Ninja recording experiments, robotics‑world travel plans, and why old Surface hardware is happier running openSUSE than “almost‑retired” Windows. Nate walks through upgrading Home Assistant from an overworked Raspberry Pi 3 to a Lenovo ThinkCentre with over 115 devices, plus his plans for fully local smart‑home control and a Star Trek‑style “red alert” scene. Matt dives into CasaOS for easy containerized media hosting, GameVault as a self‑hosted Steam‑like library for GOG and DRM‑free games, and Pegasus Frontend for building your own living‑room console UI—then talks about reviving Game Sphere with a focus on digital ownership and realistic budget gaming.

221: Old Hardware, New Penguins: Installing Linux on All the Things | Linux Out Loud 123

linuxoutloud@mailfence.com (Linux Out Loud) — Sat, 11 Apr 2026 05:00:00 -0600

In this spring‑cleaned episode of Linux Out Loud, Wendy, Bill, and Nate dust off their homelabs and see just how far Linux can push “retired” hardware. Bill talks about guiding a Linux‑first startup, Fyra Stack, as they build a colo and VPS business in downtown Chicago, wiring it all together with Proxmox, PostgreSQL, Snipe‑IT, and osTicket—plus a few cursed Zigbee light bulbs along the way. Nate dives into one of his favorite pastimes: installing openSUSE Tumbleweed on everything from a 2007 white MacBook to a 2015 MacBook Air and a pair of well‑worn Surface Pros, comparing battery life, sleep quirks, and how “modern” Plasma feels on ancient gear. Wendy rounds things out with creative test‑taking workarounds using ChromeOS Flex and a quick look at VDO.Ninja for remote recording, before the trio wraps up the cleaning spree.

220: Data Has Weight, Laws Have Teeth, Linux Has Jokes | Linux Out Loud 122

linuxoutloud@mailfence.com (Linux Out Loud) — Sat, 07 Mar 2026 05:00:00 -0700

In this episode of Linux Out Loud, Wendy, Nate, and Bill start in the server room and end up staring down new “for the children” age‑verification laws aimed squarely at your operating system. They talk through wrangling tablets and printers with CUPS, why Framework laptops keep surviving industrial abuse, and how Deskflow brings Synergy/Barrier‑style magic to Wayland setups. From there, they dig into the new FIRST LEGO League robotics kits and what might be lost when classroom‑friendly AI kits replace hands‑on engineering. Finally, they unpack California and Colorado’s OS‑level age‑verification bills, what “OS providers” really means, and why small Linux and BSD projects are already threatening to block entire states rather than bolt surveillance rails onto their distros.

219: New World Unlocked: GOG Charts a Linux Frontier | Linux Out Loud 121

linuxoutloud@mailfence.com (Linux Out Loud) — Sat, 21 Feb 2026 05:00:00 -0700

In this level of Linux Out Loud, Nate takes player‑one controls with Wendy and Matt as co‑op buddies for a run‑and‑gun through data disasters, platform drama, and hopeful Linux gaming news. Matt kicks things off with a catastrophic cold‑storage failure that turns into a hard‑earned reminder about backups and the limits of data‑recovery tools on both Windows and Linux. Wendy then opens a side‑quest about Discord’s upcoming age‑verification changes, why that’s a problem for community privacy and moderation, and what it might mean for the future home of the Lobby of Loudness. Nate rounds out the host updates with Linux Saloon going fully independent, moving show notes and polls onto CubicleNate.com so he controls the platform and the ad dollars. For the main mission, the crew dives into GOG calling Linux its “next major frontier” for GOG GALAXY and hiring a senior C++ engineer to help make Linux a first‑class gaming citizen instead of an afterthought. Along the way they talk heroic launchers, Proton and Wine, and what a “good citizen” GOG client on Linux should actually look like for home‑labbed and multi‑PC setups.

From organizing racks and labeling gear to wrestling with Starlink latency and debating cloud gaming versus real ownership, the crew dives into how their real‑world chaos shapes the way they run Linux, host services, and play games. If you like robots, home labs, and arguing about whether you really own your digital library, this one’s for you.

On this week's episode of DLN Xtend, we were inspired by a recent conversation on Destination Linux about email with Tutanota. Email is nothing new but we explore how it has changed for us and the place it has in today's communication practices.

Episode 37 of DLN Xtend, Wendy and Nate talk about how they are using email in 2020, with a review of how they have historically used it and how they are using it today. They talk about email privacy and security.

"Hello Everybody,

For those forum members who have been using Linux for a good long while now (at least a few years):

As you learned the ropes of how the whole Linux Distro ecosystem works, what sorts of guidelines did you make for yourself, to minimize the various sorts of stress of being faced with such a wide range of choices in this ecosystem?

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?"

esbeeb says "We just probably need to hire great UX people to improve the workflow of the apps. 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. I can dream, can’t I?”

22: Why Gaming on Linux Matters, Linux Mint Forbids Snaps? | DLN Xtend

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.”

21: EndeavourOS is not Arch, Learning Computer Programming, ARM and x86 Meet in the Middle | DLN Xtend

linuxoutloud@mailfence.com (Linux Out Loud) — Thu, 28 May 2020 21:00:00 -0600

Thanks for joining us for episode 21 of DLN Xtend. 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. DigitalOcean also has 2,000 cloud-agnostic tutorials to help you stay up to date with the latest open source software, languages, and frameworks. Get started on Digital Ocean for 2 Months FREE with a $100 credit by going to do.co/dln.

In the DLN Community segment, there was a post in the Destination Linux Network Discourse forum about learning computer programming, 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++ is now on Front Page Linux. Linux++ is a weekly dive into the major topics, events, and headlines throughout the Linux world published by 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 they discuss new AMD laptop processors featuring a lower TDP (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, 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. Be sure to stop by DLN's Discourse, Telegram, Mumble and Discord servers to continue the discussion. More information about this show and other Destination Linux Network shows and creators (like Eric and Nate for example) is available at destinationlinux.network.

20: Testing Ubuntu, Deepin and EndeavourOS, Updating openSUSE, PinePhone Plunge, Right to Repair, Art of Troubleshooting | DLN Xtend

linuxoutloud@mailfence.com (Linux Out Loud) — Wed, 22 Apr 2020 07:00:00 -0600

On DLN Xtend Episode 20, Eric tests some new distribution releases including Ubuntu 20.04, Deepin 20, and EndeavourOS. He also provides another thrilling update on the closet studio project. Nate talks about updating a very out of date copy of openSUSE and decides to take the plunge on the PinePhone.

Destination Linux had Vinzenz Vietzke of Tuxedo Computers 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. This is a news and commentary site focused on Linux, Open Source, community and more. Eric has already published several articles and Nate is planning to do so soon.

The 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. Be sure to stop by DLN's Discourse, Telegram, Mumble and Discord servers to continue the discussion. More information about this show and other Destination Linux Network shows and creators (like Eric and Nate for example) is available at destinationlinux.network.

On DLN Xtend Episode 17, Nate tests FreeOffice and Eric spends some time with Kdenlive.

Destination Linux talked about the open source document viewer KOReader 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 website which showcases open source alternatives to common proprietary software.

Jason Evangelho of Linux for Everyone recently interviewed Alan Pope of Canonical and asked some interesting questions. We break down a few of the more interesting aspects of their conversation.

On the DasGeek YouTube channel, Ryan covered using the El Gato Streamdeck Mini 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 and OBS Tablet Remote. Thanks to Venn Stone of LinuxGameCast for the tutorial.

15: Helping New Linux Users, Linux Audio - JACK and Reaper, PinePhone Braveheart and UBports, Rolling vs. Fixed Releases, Proprietary Software and Dual Booting | DLN Xtend

linuxoutloud@mailfence.com (Linux Out Loud) — Sun, 01 Mar 2020 21:00:00 -0700

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.

Dalton Durst from the UBports project was a guest host on Destination Linux. They discussed the 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 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 covers the negativity surrounding proprietary software and dual booting. It's an attitude that bothers us as well.

14: Home VPN Server, JACK Audio, DigitalOcean Sponsorship, AppImageLauncher Dev Feedback, PinePhone Testing, FreeCAD, KDE Plasma 5.18, PC Cooling, ProtonCalendar | DLN Xtend

linuxoutloud@mailfence.com (Linux Out Loud) — Tue, 18 Feb 2020 11:00:00 -0700

Welcome back to DLN Xtend. In this 14th episode, Eric talks about setting up a VPN to connect to his home network as well as more experimentation with JACK audio. Nate discusses transferring his domain to a new registrar and the upcoming move to self hosting his website.

That leads nicely into our announcement this week of DigitalOcean becoming a network-wide sponsor of DLN. All Destination Linux Network shows, including ours, will be taking part. We discuss their introductory offer and how and why we are happy customers.

In Listener Feedback this week, Leviticus suggests we use video for the podcast and we hear from TheAssasin, developer of AppImageLauncher, who answers our questions from episode 11.

The DLN community has been discussing the PinePhone Braveheart edition over on the Discourse forum, testing UBPorts and other distros as well as some software. Many have shared their experiences. Did you buy a PinePhone? How has it been? Come share your thoughts in this thread.

A recent Software Spotlight on Destination Linux covered FreeCAD, a free and open-source general-purpose parametric 3D CAD application. It just so happens Nate is a long time user of FreeCAD and gives us some reasons why he is such a fan.

KDE's Plasma desktop version 5.18 was recently released and we talk about what's new and why we like Plasma in general.

Hardware Addicts, a new DLN podcast covering all things hardware, discussed the various cooling solutions and the virtues of each. We discuss our own experiences having both recently built AMD workstations. There is a new segment lead by Wendy Hill covering photography. This week she dives into the different types of cameras (i.e. Point and Shoot, DSLR) and explains what each does.

And finally, Michael Tunnell covers many. many things on each episode of This Week in Linux. He recently brought up ProtonCalendar from ProtonMail. This fills a gap we've previously had with using ProtonMail as a true alternative to other mail services that include this functionality.

This week Nate talks about his admiration for Kdenlive and even using it to editing audio. Who knew? Eric gets back to making YouTube videos, in particular one on AppImageLauncher.

The community segment is on a topic Eric started about the best dIstro and DE combo for workstations. He ended up giving openSUSE Tumbleweed a try much to Nate's delight. We discuss the magic of Tumbleweed snapshots.

As a reminder in case you missed it, last week we had Wendy Hill as a guest to tell us how she uses darktable as a professional photographer. Absolutely worth a listen if you have any interest in photography.

Destination Linux brought up the issue of elitism in Linux this week and we give a few thoughts on both sides of the argument.

The subject of backing up settings and deploying them on KDE Plasma came up this week on Destination Linux. Nate explains how this works by installing an SDK.

We talk about our Linux "hopes and dreams" for 2020. Eric hopes for good Linux options for mobile devices, especially on tablets and Nate wishes that more companies develop professional software for Linux.

There is a special Destination Linux Network announcement this week in the form of a new podcast. Hardware Addicts will focus on hardware that works with Linux, from single board computers to high-end AMD systems. Look for the first episode to land in the coming week.

Until next time, see yas!

10: Quick Tiling in KDE Plasma, Linux in the Kitchen, Giving Back to OUR Community (Donating to Open Source), DasGeek's YouTube Channel Passes 10,000 Subscribers, Update on FreeGeek Charity Fund Raising, Kdenlive 19.12, Wendy Hill on darktable | DLN Xtend

linuxoutloud@mailfence.com (Linux Out Loud) — Sun, 05 Jan 2020 21:00:00 -0700

In this edition, Nate talks about setting up quick tiling on KDE's Plasma desktop environment and also using Linux in the kitchen for recipes and entertainment.

This week's Community Focus covers a Discourse forum post entitled Giving Back to OUR Community which discusses donating to open source projects as well as content creators. We cover commercial use of open source and how if companies that benefit financially would contribute back to the projects they use those projects would likely make enough revenue to cover their costs and then some. Mentioned in this discussion is the recent dilemma that the Pods Framework find themselves after their main financial contributor chose to not continue their support.

DasGeek's YouTube Channel reaches a milestone and passes 10,000 subscribers. Ryan does a great job reviewing hardware but, more importantly, following up and making more videos about the same hardware over time so you can find out what it's like to use it over time. That's often not the case with many YouTube tech channels.

Destination Linux provided an update on the FreeGeek fund raising effort. The goal was $3,000 and, thanks to Zeb's 24 stream, we are well on our way. He raised over $1,500 so again, congratulations to him and the entire Destination Linux Network community for such generosity.

Destination Linux covered the release of Kdenlive 19.12. Nate has been using it to edit his videos and gives feedback.

And finally, darktable version 3.0.0 has been released. darktable is an open source photography workflow application. We are not photographers so we wanted to get a power user's take. Luckily, friend of DLN Wendy Hill was available. Wendy has appeared as a guest host on Destination Linux and is a professional photographer specializing in business-to-business photography including food, product, and location image creation. She uses Linux for her business and darktable is one of the tools she uses for her images. We discuss what darktable is, how she uses it and what's interesting about this latest release.

Until next time, see yas!

9: Nate's Lighting Project, EndeavourOS, Ubuntu Cinnamon Remix, What Makes Distros Different, Home Media Servers, 2019 Discoveries, Feren OS, Zebedee Gaming 24 Hour Live Stream | DLN Xtend

linuxoutloud@mailfence.com (Linux Out Loud) — Fri, 03 Jan 2020 12:00:00 -0700

We've been busy with the holidays and took a short break. We're back with a new episode to start 2020. In this edition, we cover what we've done these past few weeks. Nate tells us more about his holiday lighting project and Eric talks about EndeavourOS, Ubuntu Cinnamon Remix and that leads us into a discussion on how Linux distributions differentiate themselves.

We received some listener feedback from Anthony Lavado of the Jellyfin project which leads to a discussion on home media servers like Jellyfin, Plex and Emby.

Jason Evangelho's account of his 12 Months of Discovery on Linux for Everyone over the past two episodes prompted us to look back at our 2019 experience to see what discoveries of our own we've made.

Destination Linux covered the Ubuntu Cinnamon Remix releases and pondered the merit of an Ubuntu Cinnamon flavor. There was a lot of talk about Linux Mint already filling that space but I disagree.

This Week in Linux covered the release of Feren OS which was recently made available. It's a fascinating example of what someone can achieve in the open source world. We discuss the merits of Feren OS and lovingly poke a bit of fun at its creator.

Lastly, our friend Zeb undertook a monumental 24 live stream on his Zebedee Gaming YouTube channel. He was raising money for DLN's first charity collaboration with FreeGeek. The total came out to an impressive $1,500. Congratulations to Zeb and FreeGeek. Certainly a great way to end the year!

0: Linux Flagship Devices, Rolling for Servers, Older Hardware and Ubuntu 19.10 Eoan Ermine | DLN Xtend

linuxoutloud@mailfence.com (Linux Out Loud) — Fri, 25 Oct 2019 09:30:00 -0600

In this, our preview DLN Xtend episode, we discuss the (unusual?) concept of Linux flagship devices, the pros and cons of rolling releases on the server side, the continuing trend of removing support for older hardware in many Linux distributions and a brief look at some of the highlights in the Ubuntu 19.10 Eoan Ermine release.

Fun fact. Nate and I did this as a test recording that we assumed we wouldn't use. Turns out the DLN crew liked it and suggested we publish it. Who are we to refuse? All kidding aside, this is our first go at this and so we ask for some patience and also any feedback you might have. Please stop by the DLN Discourse, Telegram, Mumble and Discord to let us know what you think.
