Anytown, USA, Feb. 16, 2021 -- The latest installment of the popular, annual "Linux Sucks" video series has been released by handsome, Linux luminary Bryan Lunduke.
"The end of Linux is nigh," bellowed Lunduke, handsomely, perched on his soapbox at the corner of Main Street and 6th Avenue. "Linux is doomed. Doomed, I say! Doooooomed!"
Viewed by millions of Linux users, around the globe, the "Linux Sucks" series dominates the "Boring Slideshows Presented at Linux Conferences" category of videos. With the 2021 installment not being available on YouTube, instead distributed exclusively via the Odysee video platform.
"Because," explained Lunduke, authoritatively, "YouTube is stupid."
"I've used Linux for years on servers," said Chis Titus, popular and consistently correct Internet Personality. "Then I watched Linux Sucks and it made me realize that there are people who use Linux as a Desktop. Huh. Weird."
"We're honored to have this year's 'End of Linux' edition of Linux Sucks available exclusively via LBRY and Odysee," stated Jeremy Kauffman, CEO of LBRY. "This is, apparently, the first year in over a decade that is NOT The Year of the Linux Desktop."
Linux Sucks 2021 can be watched, DRM-Free and YouTube-Free, via Odysee:

Let's hang out and talk about nerdy things. Linux. Retro computers. Old video games. Alternative OS's. Stuff that makes us smile. You can join the chat and ask questions.

How I described this interview back when I first released it in 2019:
“I get to hang out with the papa of Nerdcore, MC Frontalot, to talk about his new album, Net Split, his break-up album (sorta) with the Internet. We then talk about 300 baud modems on C64's and other things that prove how old we are. In other news: I love my job.”
Worth noting: I still love my job.

Just saw the latest Shadiversity video on YouTube, and it was funny and cool and (for geeks like me, who are both writers and game programmers) always full of useful info. But it reminded me of something. Something I've been meaning to find out more about, but been too chicken to admit on a community of super-nerds like this.
I'll paste it here (Locals sticks it at the bottom, but this is just for reference, lol).
I have a confession to make... I have never played Dungeons & Dragons.
😮...!
I know, a medieval adventure loving geek like me, the community's #1 Narnia fanboy, a geek with multiple fantasy/adventure games in the works... has never played D&D. 🤣
This is partly because, as a kid, I was told that it was not a good thing. My parents thought it was evil. My non-nerdy friends thought it was for losers. It's also partly because even my nerdy friends didn't play it (or at least didn't tell me about it). It just wasn't a ...
