  • there used to be more, but now news is the main thing.

    in olden times (of 2021), distro reviews/why linux is better/software showcase were the main things.

    there were folks like luke smith (not going to his political shit) would do demos for things like groff/troff (imagine a latex alternative, now it is pretty much only used for man pages). but you get the idea - they would demo software, use it, compare it.

    there is tle, who did lots of lists (like x amount of tools from elementary os which are great), linux cast would do file manager reviews, brodie would cover commandline stuff.

    now pretty much all 3 of them do news. I still watch brodie because his news at times is niche and kinda fun, but i really do not want to hear lkml drama (which is non existent).

    one of the youtubers which got me into linux was mental outlaw. he made tonnes of privacy/security/anonymity related videos back then, and occasional covered hacking news. i started trying to make windows more private (it truly started from try to make wwindows leaner), and then he, and tle got me into linux.

    now i do not watch almost any of them. (except brodie, and occasional tle and tlc)

    why all went to news - it is easier to make.





  • Imagine you are the one deciding, what medium would you prefer?

    What i have been thinking is essentially a online meeting, like jitsi meet, which may be simultaneously casted online, or just recorded, and uploaded afterwards. people in meet would be able to ask, and hence it would be interactive. Whenever i have done courses, i have had like a billion questions, and if i do not ask, i do not understand, so i would not want anyone else to not be able to ask too. live chat is also interactive, but there is always a delay, and writing your doubts, is sometimes hard (you sometimes are so confused you do not know what to ask), so meeting helps with that.

    in any case, if you need any help (for example course work or books), feel free to message me.
