Bill

Eric

Linux OTC

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!

65 – “Wine-ers Of The World Unite!”

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!

64 – The Eric Strikes Back

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 the AUR (Arch User Repository). Battery life also makes a brief appearance as we share tips and experiences to help listeners maximize their device’s endurance.

Amidst the tech talk, one amusing cultural meme—“67”—keeps making its way back into the conversation, adding a humorous twist to our discussions. Join us for a blend of tech insights, friendly banter, and plenty of laughs!

63 – Audio Antics and Arch Adventures: The 67 Chronicles

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.

62 – What Could Go Wrong?

Bill’s video card problems, we get into the new Steam hardware a bit, a little bit on Docker. Way more!

61 – Discord Woes

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.

60 – Corporate Shills Return

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!

59 – Sponsored By Cosmic OTC

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!

58 – Bill’s Klingon Nuts

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!
