Linux OTC
Linux “Off The Cuff”
Episodes
We start off talking about the non standard experience you get from one Linux distro to another. Majid talks about his experience transferring files. Some Distros are a little closer to the upstream than others. This gets us into a discussion about Fedora, RHEL, and the like. All of this and way more!
After a poignant start, our new host Charlie joins us, as well as Dale from Distrohopper’s Digest for a conversation about all things spanning the range between celebrity, to classic pop culture, and on to to Debian and it’s constituents. Intellectual fundamentalism rears it’s head. Choice prevails! Oh and buckle up kids – we talk about Systemd.
This week we welcome a new voice to the fold. Charlie, AKA Immutable Charlie joins us to talk Linux
We’re all over the place on this episode. We start off with the abysmal state of media streaming. Majid and Eric get into a conversation about watches. We get into it about our experiences with Amazon as well as other online commerce offerings. Bill talks a bit about the sad state of affairs within his industry. Eric talks about a recent challenge trying to find a tech solution to a friend’s photography storage problem....
Yes friends, that time is finally here; episode “67.” Much of the conversation is about the relevance of older technology in a time when up-to-date RAM and other parts are expensive, and scarce. We get into a conversation about compiling software that is not available in your repos verses using a containerized solution like Distrobox. We get into encryption and how to get the benefits of encryption on any cloud storage ...
Server rebuilds, Memory shortages, Energy prices, Compiling software, and the AUR. all that and way more!
Bill and Eric wax philosophical about technology and it’s users. They get into Ad blocking, anti-virus, and the like. The nature of “free” software comes up. Gaming on Linux, Wine, virtualization, etc. They get into the concept of a software repository, and the associated package manager. The layers of effort that goes into every distribution. All of this and more!
Eric makes his triumphant return where we start off talking about some recent pc builds Bill had been working on during his time off. We get into some of the vagaries of hardware issues and what we’ve done in the past to deal with them. Majid talks about recent laptop purchases. Eric gets into some issues he experienced while using multiple versions of Handbrake. These topics and more!
In this lively episode of Linux OTC, we kick off with some unexpected technical hiccups when Majid’s audio takes a turn for the bizarre, sparking a spirited debate about the causes. As we navigate through the audio chaos, the conversation shifts to the fascinating evolution of smartphones, exploring how they’ve transformed our daily lives.
Later, we dive into the intricacies of Arch Linux and debate the merits and pitfalls of using...
One hardware failure after another for these guys. Bill’s video card woes, Majid’s server issues. We even had a complete SATA controller failure on one of the most important machines. We get through it. We get into distro hopping, as well as a little conversation about Cosmic, verses Gnome.
Bill’s video card problems, we get into the new Steam hardware a bit, a little bit on Docker. Way more!
Just Bill and Majid for this one. We get into all kinds of stuff including the evolution of content creation, distro hopping, and the like. We get into Amazon’s shift to Linux on it’s Fire TV platform. All of this and way more.
We had a lot of fun making this one. After some off-topic discussion, we get into a recent purchase by Bill. We get into Pop!_OS in a big way! Somehow we segue into shaving products. All this and way more! This would be an excellent episode to watch on YouTube!
It’s another AI episode folks. We had a good conversation about it though. It’s not all moaning, we promise. In the beginning, we’re talking about some of Bill’s hardware accelleration woes, and what he’s doing to remedy it. We went ahead and added it to the end after the outro as a bit of “Bonus” content. All this and way more!
A rather “in-depth” conversation about the nature of language, thought, and communication starts us off. We inevitably move on to AI. Those things and more!

Why do we use Arch? Should we really be trying to get new people to use Linux? These are the questions that have occupied the minds of man since the beginning of time.
No Bill this episode, but we have a great time none the less.
Dev Opps, Majid’s Snapdragon, Keyboard wins over Mouse, Cybersecurity, Gnome, Stand-by Time On Linux. Start up time, and Way More!
DNS, TikTok, Netflix, Plex and other drugs. We get into it in depth!
