<p>On this one, Matt and Tyler talk about everything. We run the gamut from subscription fatigue to Mint being Mint to Gentoo to Telemetry and Audacity. It's a long wild ride, so buckle up.<br /> </p> <p>Also, sorry that the audio isn't as good as normal. We had some OBS problems.</p> <p><br /></p> <p>Patreon - https://patreon.com/thelinuxcast</p> <p>Liberapay - https://liberapay.com/thelinuxcast/</p> <p>===== Thanks to Our Patrons! ====</p> <p>Devon C. -- Tier 4 Patron</p> <p>Marcus B. &nbsp;- Tier 3 Patron</p> <p>Donnie H. - Tier 3 Patron</p> <p>Maeglin - Tier 3 Patron</p> <p>Sven C. - Tier 3 Patron.</p> <p>EastCoastWeb - Tier 3 Patron</p> <p>Chris - Tier 3 Patron</p> <p>Mitchel V - Tier 2 Patron</p> <p>Mr. Fox Tier 2 Patron</p> <p>Marek M. - Tier 1 Patron</p> <p>Camp514 - Tier 1 Patron</p> <p>===== Follow us 🐧🐧 ======</p> <p>Odysee - https://odysee.com/$/invite/@thelinuxcast:4</p> <p>Mastadon - @drmdub@distrotoot.com</p> <p>http://twitter.com/thelinuxcast</p> <p>http://twitter.com/mtwb</p> <p>Subscribe at http://thelinuxcast.org</p> <p>Contact us email@thelinuxcast.com</p> <p>https://facebook.com/thelinuxcast</p> <p>Tyler - https://bit.ly/3wk9LNy on Odysee , &nbsp;https://bit.ly/3dbqbjX on YouTube</p> <p>https://youtube.com/thelinuxcast</p> <p>**What have we been up to Linux related this Week?**</p> <p>Tyler – Did more distro-hopping, because I truly do hate myself. I tried about 5 different distro's including Gentoo again, guess what I'm using now ;D</p> <p>Matt – Kind of finished my new purple black and white DWM theme. Still needs some tweaks, but it's looking pretty good. Just in time for me to switch Window Managers, of course.</p> <h3>NEWS <strong>Links (One each) (What's in the News?)<br /> </strong></h3> <p>Matt - <a href="https://news.itsfoss.com/linux-mint-20-2-release/">https://news.itsfoss.com/linux-mint-20-2-release/</a></p> <p>Tyler - <a href="https://www.zdnet.com/article/microsoft-just-blew-up-the-only-reason-you-cant-use-a-linux-desktop/">https://www.zdnet.com/article/microsoft-just-blew-up-the-only-reason-you-cant-use-a-linux-desktop/</a></p> <h3><strong>Main Topic - Is Telemetry Okay?<br /> </strong></h3> <h3><br /></h3> <h3><strong>Apps of the Week<br /> </strong></h3> <p>Matt - Everdo <a href="https://everdo.net/">https://everdo.net/</a></p> <p>Tyler - Caffeine <a href="https://www.atechtown.com/caffeine-for-ubuntu/">https://www.atechtown.com/caffeine-for-ubuntu/</a></p> <p>Time Stamps</p> <p>0:00 Intro</p> <p>O:14 Our Week in Linux</p> <p>9:50 Contact Info</p> <p>11:13 News</p> <p>37:13 Is Telemetry Okay?</p> <p>1:01:01 Picks of the Week</p> <p>1:06:25 Ends</p>
