The Binary Times – Series 6 Episode 12

Series 6 Episode 12 – In this special Xmas episode the Linux Lads and the Binary Times Guys get together to have a good old chat about all things Linux, some of the topics covered are Windows out of support in January, too many Raspberry Pi’s? and what hardware we’d like to see Linux on, Enjoy.

00:27 Wayne welcomes us to the Linux Lads / Binary Times Christmas mash up show. In this episode Conor, Mark, Mike, Shane and Wayne will be talking about all things Linux!. This should make for some interesting conversation.

00:55 Mike kicks off the disccussion asking whether the end of support for Windows 7 will herald a new golden age of Linux on the desktop. The article from Vivaldi, “Why you should replace Windows 7 with Linux” is discussed before the conversation turns to what distribution would you recommend to new users, and all the ramifications of what that might mean. The conversation swings around to people’s acceptance of other systems. Mike thinks change is good. The conversation swings back to business implementations. Shane’s seen clever desktop implementations on top of Redhat. Conor asks if there are viable alternatives to Active Directory and Waynes mentions RazDC and Univention. They all agree that they would like to see Linux implemented in their organizations. Mike’s is already half and half. Shane asks whether Linux needs to buy into greasy capitalism, leading to some interesting thoughts on the subject. Gnome is seen as being a standard desktop environment that can be targeted as a platfrom. Just as concensus is being reached that next year will be the year of the linux desktop, the conversation turns to open standards, enlightened societies and preaching to the choir. We also discover using Linux helps you to grow to nice old age!

45:53 Shane moves the conversation on to how many Raspberry Pis do we all have. Conor admits to not owning a Raspberry Pi, though he does have a Rock 64. The guys tell us of all their different use cases. Shane’s not using his pis. Mike suggests appjar, zenity, Kdialog and bash scripts to help Shane in finding a solution for his use case. He also suggests godot game engine as a possible solution. Mark tells us about the Picade, the Pirate Radio, a weather station thing that’s not doing anything and a broken Pi-hole. Wayne tells us he has 10 raspberry pis doing various things, including kodi boxes with a pi tv hat, using motion eye os to capture some frog porn. He’s also using Yunohost. Conor mentions ODroid as an alternative to the Raspberry Pi. The guys discuss the great projects the Linux Voice guys used to get up to.

57:44 The guys discuss what hardware they would like to see Linux on. Mike wants to see a decently priced, well specified phone for the masses. Something like a Pinephone, maybe a Pinephone Pro? Shane tells us he is dieing for a large linux tablet or e-reader. Wayne’s looking forward to what Pine are going to be doing. All the guys are going to get a Pine Phone, apart from Mark. Shane is buying everthing! Mark would like to see a PowerPC notebook. They are currently fundraising but not hitting their targets.

That pretty much finishes up the Linux Lads / Binary Times Mashup. Christmas Waffling, we hope you’ve enjoyed it as much as we’ve enjoyed making it!
