Twitch is a thing now I guess

So, Twitch ended up being more popular than I was expecting.

I picked up a few new followers from the Saturday Stream and more have been slowly filtering in regularly since. Pretty cool!

Persistent Marketers

I've had annoying marketers before, but this takes the cake.

I'm not even clear as to what the deal is - for me to link to their product in the description or something?

Many of these a...

Artix Linux - No systemd required!

If you've followed me for a while, you know my opinion of systemd.

Systemd is (one of) the best damn things that has happened to Linux in a long time. Udev is probably the best, followed by t...

Twitch Ho!

I've decided to start simulcasting on Twitch for the Saturday Stream, starting this Saturday!

My friend Teal1500 has bee...

Long Term Stability Maybe?

It seems like a lot of people hate change. I tend to embrace it sometimes too much change is, well, too much.

2020 (and late 2019) was way too much for me! Luckily, it looks like tha...

The Questionable 22k Video

I'm pretty sure I've never done a celebratory video for something like subscribers or views.

This one is a bit different because it's meant to gauge what kind of content people are i...

SolydXK 10.4 - A Business-Focused Distro?

I've been on a streak of Debian-based distros lately and most of them have been underwhelming.

Deepin was a standout but it's more like Ubuntu in that it is "based on Debian" but is really it...

2200k Video Teaser?

I was saving this screenshot for the upcoming "ZOMG 22k subscribers!" video, but it's taking forever to get there, and I already need to make a new one so... Here it is.

Deepin 20 - Great Work All Around 👏

At last - a Distro Delves episode that I'm really proud of!

Not that I'm unhappy with other episodes, just that this one is exemplary! I feel I really nailed the voice over, and the ...

Egee & Felicity

I had the idea of using the Sims 4 as a canvas for brainstorming scenes for artwork for Egee & other OC's but a part of me thought it sounded lame so I wanted to first try the idea with someone...

Fatigue and other assorted excuses

IRL work has me so tired. 😩

I have big & fun videos planned but I've had to put some of them off two weeks in a row now. 

I've had a Gnome vs MATE video planned for...

GeckoLinux KDE Next - Not like KDE Neon

Despite getting a late start producing this video, it ended up being one of the quickest videos to make.

There's nothing particularly remarkable about GeckoLinux; everything about it feels un...

BunsenLabs Lithium

I wasn't planning to churn out two videos this week but BunsenLabs surprised me with their Lithium release right after I finished producing the Helium video.

Lithium was rough around the edge...

BunsenLabs Helium

Guess what Linux distro just had a new release the other day? BunsenLabs.

Helium was based on Debian Stretch. The new release, Lithium, is based on Debian Buster. Big difference.

I disc...

Distro Delves slowing down

As a semi-follow-up to this post, I've decided to keep Distro Delves to just weekly episodes.

I think my previou...

Sims Egee

Getting commissions for OC's is ridiculously fun but I've had trouble coming up with ideas for how they should look. But a couple of weeks ago, I had this thought...

What if there was a furry...

Mageia 7.1 - Distros Distro Delves was made for

I've wanted to look at Mageia for a long time and I'm so pleased to have for this episode. It's as weird and quirky as I expected it to be!

I recorded probably 6 or 7 different ending pieces ...

Windows vs Ubuntu - An Evolutionary Process

I originally planned for this video to be a Monday video meaning it would follow up on a Distro Delves episode from Sunday, but neither happened. Instead, this video took forever and rolled over in...

A Brian Life Update

Back in March, the CTO of a little startup found me on Angelist and asked if I would be interested in a DevOps positio...

July 25th Stream Plans!

I've decided to return to vanilla Ubuntu 20.04 as my main/daily distro. Two main reasons that I will elaborate on during the stream are:

1) I need to be closer to upstream Ubuntu for...

Windows 10 Home - Redefining the Series

This episode was my worst enemy.

It took so long to produce that I missed my regular Monday release. I thought I could wake up early and finish it before work, but oh boy, w...

Thanks, guys

For the past few episodes, I've written legit scripts that I more-or-less read for the voice over. It makes producing take a bit longer, but I think it results in way higher quality videos.

I...

Linuxfx - Not Horrible

Not horrible but not great either. Barely even good, to be honest.

Blocking single-threaded applications is a tell-tale sign of a junior developer or, at least, one that has never coded in a ...

What exactly is Egee.io?

The connection between Egee and Egee.io is a bit weird. Despite the name, Egee .io doesn't have much to do with Egee or the channel (anymore).

Egee .io started as a fan-run Discord s...

Bodhi Linux - Featherweight

Bodhi Linux is what the Distro Delves show was made for.

It's not a Linux Distro I would run any of my computers but I've always wanted to try it out. Virtual Machines are always an option bu...

Meet Felicity: The Focal Fossa!

A few weeks ago, I had this crazy idea - what if Ubuntu release codenames had fursonas?

The code-names themselves aren't trademarked or anything and, like most of what Canonical does for Ubun...

Calculate Linux - Sufficiently Whelmed

I really didn't have a strong opinion on this one. I feel like I should have, considering its based on Gentoo and it had that weird Yast-like console thing, but nothing really did "it" for me.

[Map] World Building

While at work at my boring job, I'd sometimes draw maps and write stories.

I drew up this map from scratch based on some old maps a couple of years ago. Earlier this year, I went crazy and ad...

Distro Delves Finale In Progress!

I've been brainstorming about Egee with some friends and I've finally come up with a live-action skit for the Distro Delves finale!

I have talked about the finale episode before but I didn't ...

openSUSE Leap 15.2 - New Nothing

I've got to be honest - for the amount they hyped up openSUSE Leap 15.2, hardly anything is different.

That's not necessarily a bad thing, especially for a community enterprise Linux...
