There are humans on the other end of that Internet
This conversation was sparked from this Tweet (https://twitter.com/tsimonquigley2/status/1740110615404806483)
Linus gets passionate sometimes (https://web.archive.org/web/20240201103502/https://lkml.org/lkml/2024/1/26/1013)

Douglas Paul
Douglas does his own 12 step distro hop program.
Gnome (https://www.gnome.org/), Fedora (https://fedoraproject.org/), with Extensions (https://extensions.gnome.org/) and Albert (https://albertlauncher.github.io/) is the landing spot... at least for now.
Bruce Hankins on Why Don't You Use Linux (4:11)
Two categories of users, average users and power users.
Average users don't really tinker.
Power users like to tinker (this is where Leo and Dan fall as well as many of you) but there is a small amount of us.
Installation of the system and applications is not intuitive.
Jayden on Why Don't You Use Linux (4:11) AAAAAAND a Note Suggestion
Gnome with gestures and multi-touch (https://wiki.gnome.org/Design/OS/Gestures) are great.
A couple of note taking apps for Leo to chase - Xournal++ (https://xournalpp.github.io/) and Rnote (https://rnote.flxzt.net/)

Started with Gnome 2.4 then jumped to Cinnamon. Gnome is really different from other desktop environments.

Why Do We Still Use Ubuntu?
TLDR we(Leo and Dan) don't mind some of the choices Ubuntu has made but we can appreciate that there are good alternatives for those that want to go a different way.

The LUS Lemmy instance (https://lemmy.linuxuserspace.show) got an update (https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ansible/releases/tag/1.2.0).
The ansible repo switched to tagged releases. There were ⚠️breaking changes⚠️ that needed to be prepared for (https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ansible/blob/main/README.md#upgrading).
One of the issues Dan had is likely fixed now. (https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ansible/commit/300a261b2a346dd6489f5eb43d6af632633f4059)
The Bug (https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2023/10/22-year-old-firefox-tooltip-bug-fixed-in-a-few-lines-offering-hope-to-us-all/) that's old enough to drink and drive, but hopefully not at the same time!
Dan installed Firefox (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-firefox-linux#w_install-firefox-from-mozilla-builds) from the .tar.gz download.
Spoiler - it updates just fine because my user is the owner in the /opt directory.

The History of The Common Desktop Environment (CDE) (https://sourceforge.net/projects/cdesktopenv/)
The Andrew Project (https://web.archive.org/web/20120717074939/http://www.cmu.edu/corporate/news/2007/features/andrew/what_is_andrew.shtml)
W was a windowing system that was originally written for the V operating system (https://web.archive.org/web/20040522163027/http://eia.udg.es/~teo/sd/documents/articles/p314-cheriton.pdf).
In 1984, Robert Scheifler wrote (https://www.talisman.org/x-debut.shtml).
X is our “reaction” to W (https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/22949.24053)
Ultrix Window Manager (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultrix_Window_Manager), or uwm
Tom's Window Manager, which eventually became Tab Window Manager (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twm), or twm
Open Look Specification (https://archive.org/details/openlookgraphica00sunm)
The OSF narrows the search for a User Interface (https://books.google.com/books?id=szsEAAAAMBAJ&printsec=frontcover&source=gbs_ge_summary_r&cad=0#v=onepage&q=open%20look&f=false).
HP (https://www.worldradiohistory.com/Archive-Company-Publications/HP-Journal/90s/HPJ-1990-06.pdf) and Microsoft's CXI and DEC's XUI to create the HP OSF/Motif Window Manager.
Sun went on to build OpenWindows (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenWindows), which was X with OPEN LOOK on top to replace SunView (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SunView).
COSE (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Open_Software_Environment)
In 1994, The OSF and Unix International, a body meant to standardize UNIX, merged (https://groups.google.com/g/comp.unix.osf.misc/c/Q2uTrTvB8bY/m/8SMI8V-JvE4J), and in 96, merged again (https://www.tech-insider.org/unix/research/1996/0214.html) with X/Open into The Open Group.
Motif and CDE became one (https://groups.google.com/g/cu.motif-talk/c/xMQ-2cBi9bU/m/_VTikcvANZkJ)
KDE enters the scene (https://groups.google.com/g/de.comp.os.linux.misc/c/SDbiV3Iat_s/m/zv_D_2ctS8sJ).
May of 2000 when Motif was released (https://web.archive.org/web/20131003125200/https://groups.google.com/forum/message/raw?msg=comp.windows.x.announce/K2LrU6QusnA/5fRzz-NBIrAJ) as OpenMotif.
LessTif, because Less is Mo, published an initial statement (https://web.archive.org/web/20000619030034/http://www.lesstif.org/future.html)
August 6th, 2012, CDE was relicensed (https://web.archive.org/web/20121124230739/http://devio.us/~kpedersen/forums/viewtopic.php?id=1293) under the LGPL and was available on SourceForge, where it still lives today.
After opening it up, 2.2.1 was released on March 1st, 2014 (https://sourceforge.net/p/cdesktopenv/mailman/message/32043063/).
The final release, at least as of this recording, 2.5.1 (https://sourceforge.net/p/cdesktopenv/mailman/message/37715846/), dropped in October of 2022.

The History of Debian
Before Debian there was Softlanding Linux (https://web.archive.org/web/20211215084534/https://groups.google.com/g/comp.os.linux/c/Q4fxCi2g0kc/m/Z6vfd2aLSQwJ).
August 16, 1993, Ian Murdock's announcement that started it all (https://wiki.debian.org/DebianHistory?action=AttachFile&do=view&target=Debian-announcement-1993.txt#CA-c114de97e513912ade3e21cedd1d833957c8edf6_13).
January 1994, Ian releases the Debian Manifesto (https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/project-history/manifesto).
April 1, 1994, Ian was struggling to keep up with it all and needed a break (https://lists.debian.org/debian-announce/1994/msg00005.html).
March 1996, Ian steps down as Debian Project Leader (https://lists.debian.org/debian-announce/1996/msg00003.html). Leaving Bruce Perens to take up the job.
The FSF pulls sponsorship (https://groups.google.com/g/comp.os.linux.misc/c/A30TG4KRx4Y/m/WKi_Yx0iuTAJ) but later the FSF "resumed cordial relations" (https://www.debian.org/intro/cooperation).
June 17, 1996, Debian 1.1 is released (https://web.archive.org/web/19970616164301/http://www.debian.org/1.1/release.html) with the first ever codename based on Toy Story characters. It was named Buzz (https://wiki.debian.org/DebianBuzz), after Buzz Lightyear. A list of all the Debian releases (https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/project-history/releases.en.html).

February 20, 1997, Debian shows its intent to ratify a constitution (https://lists.debian.org/debian-announce/1997/msg00005.html).
July 1, 1997, Debian is really launched into space (https://www.debian.org/News/1997/19970626a) this time to monitor plant growth in microgravity, sending video and other data (https://www.linuxjournal.com/article/2186) back home.
December 2, 1998, Debian ratifies a Constitution (https://www.debian.org/devel/constitution.1.0).
At the beginning of 1999, Wichert Akkerman was elected Debian Project Leader and started with giving Debian a permanent identity.
Logo on debian.org as of April 14, 1997 (https://web.archive.org/web/19970414140629im_/http://www.debian.org/Pics/debian.jpg)
January 24, 1999, the logo license for Captain Blue-Eye, expired again (https://www.debian.org/News/weekly/1999/4/mail#mail2).

May 3, 1999, the submissions were in. (https://www.debian.org/vote/1999/vote_0004) Captain Blue-Eye was thought to be too Linux-specific (https://www.debian.org/News/weekly/1999/14/mail#mail1).
June 8, 1999, The iconic swirl that we see today won the vote (https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/1999/07/msg00005.html).
July 6, 1999, dpkg version 2, which was hinted (https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/1999/05/msg01405.html) at by Ben Collins back in May, is now officially a thing and the specifications are out there boasting a more modular design (https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/1999/07/msg00012.html).
Debian weathered the Y2k storm with no major problems (https://www.debian.org/News/weekly/2000/1/).
In October 2001, LAN Comp Systems begin mastering Debian 3.0 on DVD (https://slashdot.org/story/01/10/25/2250255/debian-on-dvd) ahead of the official release.
Debian 3.0 was delayed because of broken boot floppies (https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2001/04/msg00004.html).
2002, the first net installation images were available (https://people.debian.org/~ieure/netinst/).
2007, through a disagreement with Mozilla on backporting security fixes, would be replaced (https://wiki.debian.org/Firefox#Iceweasel) by the free-software version, Iceweasel.
2013, the trailing 0 on the major release is dropped (https://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2013/05/msg01020.html). Minor releases will continue adding the point, as in .1, .2, etc.
Also in 2013, multi-arch support (https://www.debian.org/News/2011/20110726b) is added.
2020, Jonathan Carter (https://jonathancarter.org/) was elected Debian Project Leader and has been reaffirmed three more times, and is currently serving as Leader.

A Pause for Family
We wanted to let you know we postponed the recording of episode 19 due to a family emergency.
We’re thinking April 10th for the new release date, but can’t say that with absolute certainty.
If anything changes, we’ll update you again. In the mean time, we’ll publish a bit of the Shorts backlog and poke around the community a bit. So, hang tight! ❤️🙏

Firefox 109 (https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/109.0/releasenotes/) brings manifest v3 support
What are we talking about? (https://blog.mozilla.org/en/products/firefox/extensions-addons/heres-whats-going-on-in-the-world-of-extensions/)
Maniwhat, now? Version who?
2018, Google proposes (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1nPu6Wy4LWR66EFLeYInl3NzzhHzc-qnk4w4PX-0XMw8/edit#) Manifest v3.
July 2019, The EFF notes. (https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2019/07/googles-plans-chrome-extensions-wont-really-help-security)
Then in September of 2019, Firefox responded (https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2019/09/03/mozillas-manifest-v3-faq/) to the Manifest v3 announcement.
April 2020, Vivaldi, with version 3.0, debuts its ad and tracker blocker (https://vivaldi.com/blog/1-day-2-big-vivaldi-browser-releases/) as a means to bypass (https://vivaldi.com/blog/manifest-v3-webrequest-and-ad-blockers/) the manifest v3 issue altogether.
Brave had always had an ad blocker, but beefed up (https://brave.com/improved-ad-blocker-performance/) its performance and ability in 2019.
November 2020, Google finalizes and publishes Manifest v3 (https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/mv3/intro/).
December 2021, The EFF reminds us (https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2021/12/googles-manifest-v3-still-hurts-privacy-security-innovation).
uBlock Origin Lite (https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/commit/a559f5f2715c58fea4de09330cf3d06194ccc897) exists.

SUSE Studio Express (https://www.suse.com/c/suse-studio-online-open-build-service-suse-studio-express/)
Budgie put on ice (https://groups.google.com/g/geckolinux-updates/c/kv0OOBXOJvA) for a while.
Pantheon is added (https://github.com/geckolinux/geckolinux-project/releases/tag/200830.152-Pantheon). AND the Budgie ROLLING and NEXT editions make a return (https://github.com/geckolinux/geckolinux-project/releases/tag/200830.152-Budgie).
A vote for which default filesystem was held (https://github.com/geckolinux/geckolinux-project/issues/210) with btrfs winning. The same vote, but for the STATIC edition was held (https://github.com/geckolinux/geckolinux-project/issues/226).
Static will have a sunset in the future due to the change in LEAP (https://lists.opensuse.org/archives/list/project@lists.opensuse.org/thread/SHINA373OTC7M4CVICCKXDUXN5C3MYX3/)
Since that has happened yet GeckoLinux released after 15.4 (https://github.com/geckolinux/geckolinux-project/releases/tag/220822.154)

It was a great thread. Bottom line is, use what you like, no shame in doing so. Even if it isn't Linux we hope you enjoy and find some value in what we are doing here.
On "Where does the non-distro history go next?"
Johnny, one of our fantastic patrons (https://patreon.com/linuxuserspace), gave a thumbs up to our mention of desktop environments and how often these histories would come out.
He said "Hi, I vote for quality over quantity. I also vote for Leo's favorite, the history of XFCE! :D"
On the Community that hasn't been Toxic?

Laurence Lundblade (https://web.archive.org/web/20110607212819/http://www.island-resort.com/pine.htm) and his cohorts were looking for something that had ease-of-use written all over it.
Enter, Pine. The freeware-like (wayback.archive.org/web/20001201215500/http://www.washington.edu/pine/overview/legal.html) answer.
"freeware-ish" label wasn't good enough. So, in 1999 (https://www.nano-editor.org/dist/v2.2/faq.html#1.3), Chris Allegretta, made changes to address that.

Alpine Linux the History
Back in 1997, Dave Cineage created the Linux Router Project, or LRP. (https://web.archive.org/web/19981212030604/http://www.linuxrouter.org/)
The Linux Embedded Appliance Framework, or LEAF project was started (https://web.archive.org/web/20010702160257/http://sourceforge.net/news/?group_id=13751)
Oxygen (https://web.archive.org/web/20010702153509/http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=47922)
EigerStein (https://web.archive.org/web/20011101024349/http://leaf.sourceforge.net:80/content.php?menu=9&page_id=2)
The Linux Router Project was done (https://web.archive.org/web/20060421174527/http://www.linuxrouter.org/)
The LEAF project was still there (https://lwn.net/Articles/37894/)
August of 2005, Natanael Copa, while working (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5n_5Idlxvo) for a non-profit company on VPNs and firewalls, announced (https://web.archive.org/web/20110615024325/http://osdir.com/ml/linux.leaf.devel/2005-08/msg00039.html) a new distribution on the linux.leaf.devel mailing list.
Alpine originally stood for (https://web.archive.org/web/20100508011627/http://www.alpinelinux.org/wiki/About) A Linux Powered Integrated Network Engine.
The earlier versions are a little cloudy, but we see (https://web.archive.org/web/20081013232448/http://wiki.alpinelinux.org/w/index.php?title=Main_Page) Alpine 1.4 being developed in 2006, 1.5 in 2007, Alpine 1.6 released on April 30th of 2007 and the switch to development of 1.7 in the days after.
Alpine 2.0, the then development branch, first commit "added busybox" (https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/-/commit/645531103b2ee8ef54d53a58eca3b52f7d3fb9ac)
Alpine 1.9 (https://web.archive.org/web/20091103100326/http://wiki.alpinelinux.org/w/index.php?title=Release_Notes_for_Alpine_1.9.0) - OpenRC shipped and able to install on hard disks.
A new website is launched (https://web.archive.org/web/20101212021228/http://alpinelinux.org/wiki/Main_Page)
Alpine Linux 2.0 is released (https://web.archive.org/web/20100821094210/http://www.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Release_Notes_for_Alpine_2.0.0)
The team announced the Alpine Linux Forum. (https://web.archive.org/web/20160531153546/http://www.alpinelinux.org:80/posts/Alpine-Linux-forums.html)
Alpine 3.0 is released, and uClibc is dropped (https://alpinelinux.org/posts/Alpine-3.0.0-released.html) in favor of musl libc.
Alpine 3.2 is released (https://alpinelinux.org/posts/Alpine-3.2.0-released.html) and included the MATE desktop.
Alpine 3.3 is released (https://alpinelinux.org/posts/Alpine-3.3.0-released.html) with big renames of the editions that already existed.
Alpine 3.4 is released (https://alpinelinux.org/posts/Alpine-3.4.0-released.html) with support for running within VM's, better DNS support and running on the Linux Kernel's Long Term Support release 4.4.
Alpine 3.5 is released (https://alpinelinux.org/posts/Alpine-3.5.0-released.html) and this marks the first version to drop OpenSSL for LibreSSL.
Alpine 3.6 is released (https://alpinelinux.org/posts/Alpine-3.6.0-released.html) with support for 64-bit PowerPC and IBM z Systems.
Alpine 3.7 is released (https://alpinelinux.org/posts/Alpine-3.7.0-released.html) and now supports EFI and GRUB.
Alpine 3.8 is released (https://alpinelinux.org/posts/Alpine-3.8.0-released.html) a bit behind schedule and marks the only release of the year.
Alpine 3.9 is released (https://alpinelinux.org/posts/Alpine-3.9.0-released.html) improved GRUB support, initial support for the newish ARMv7 and the switch back to OpenSSL.
Alpine 3.10 is released (https://alpinelinux.org/posts/Alpine-3.10.0-released.html) with lightdm for login and display management, which shows a renewed interest in running Alpine on the desktop.
Alpine 3.11 is released (https://alpinelinux.org/posts/Alpine-3.11.0-released.html) with Raspberry Pi 4 support, initial Gnome and KDE Plasma support and the addition of Vulkan, DXVK and the Rust programming language.
Alpine 3.12 is released (https://alpinelinux.org/posts/Alpine-3.12.0-released.html) with support for the D programming language.
Alpine and others just do it better, so LEAF sees (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LEAF_Project) its last stable release at 7.0.1
Alpine 3.13 is released (https://alpinelinux.org/posts/Alpine-3.13.0-released.html) and comes with official cloud images for services like AWS, cloud-init and better wifi support on the software side.
Alpine 3.14 is released (https://alpinelinux.org/posts/Alpine-3.14.0-released.html) with fail2ban taking a back seat to sshguard because it... failed... to ban... and ClamAV is now community supported.
Alpine 3.15 is released (https://alpinelinux.org/posts/Alpine-3.15.0-released.html) with kernel module compression using gzip, Gnome 41 and Plasma 5.23 land, and disk encryption is now supported right in the installer.
Alpine 3.16 is released (https://alpinelinux.org/posts/Alpine-3.16.0-released.html) as the last release of this history with better NVMe support, adding SSH keys at boot, a new admin user creation process and a new setup-desktop script for desktop environment installation.

1987 - A limited vi clone STEVIE, the ST Editor for VI Enthusiasts, was born. (https://timthompson.com/tjt/stevie/)
1988 - Bram Moolenaar took the source for STEVIE and ported it to the Amiga which marked the first release of Vim. It was also known as the "wq text editor" at the time. Most folks take the acronym to mean vi Improved, but originally, it stood for vi Imitation (https://invisible-island.net/vile/vile.faq.html#clone_began). It took on the Improved meaning later in 1993 around version 2.

Banter - Feedback
Void Linux bits (Thanks Duncaen) (https://www.reddit.com/user/Duncaen/)
Vanilla Linux (https://www.reddit.com/r/voidlinux/comments/ga99ok/did_you_know_void_linuxs_previous_name_was_vanilla/) - That was Void's original name.
xbps-src was originally called pkgfs (https://repo.or.cz/xbps.git/commit/5e52738f97edc0ff4a9e5de48a75834bf0916651)
And Juan P (Xtraeme) had some early ramblings (http://xtraeme.blogspot.com/) on Void and its upbringing!
Kyle's Email - Thanks for your feedback!
Some gdebi info (https://itsfoss.com/gdebi-default-ubuntu-software-center/)
If you are on a KDE plasma desktop, Discover can install .deb packages too. Like gdebi, just right click on the file and select Discover to open with.
General Github software download techniques.
Look for a releases section and download the binary release from there.
If you don't see that look for the code button and download the zip file. You can also use git (If you know how and have it installed) and just copy the git url in the code button too.
So you downloaded a shell script...
I try to keep it organized and place them in ~/bin
You can add that to your $PATH (perhaps a bit advanced) to make it easier to call.
You can give it the executable flag, (most file managers have this option). Or change mode on the command line - chmod +x FILENAME
To start your script: ./FILENAME.sh
While you may not understand all of the code, it is a good idea to glance at it.
$BROWSER Watch
Duck Duck Go Browser (https://spreadprivacy.com/duckduckgo-2021-review/)
DuckDuckGo Search Up by 46% (https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/technology/privacy-focused-search-engine-duckduckgo-grew-by-46-percent-in-2021/)

Manifest v3 (https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/mv3/intro/)
Mozilla 2019 announcement (https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2019/09/03/mozillas-manifest-v3-faq/)
Chrome Users Beware: Manifest V3 is Deceitful and Threatening (https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2021/12/chrome-users-beware-manifest-v3-deceitful-and-threatening)
Mozilla doubles down (https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2021/05/27/manifest-v3-update/)
Audacity 3.1.3 is released.
Audacity 3.1.3 (https://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Release_Notes_3.1.3)
The bold claim - Improved performance. Loading in projects especially should now be up to 50x faster compared to 3.1.0
Many bugfixes too.
Bigger question: Is Audacity still on everyone's no-install list?
Krita 5.0 is released.
Official release announcement (https://krita.org/en/item/krita-5-0-released/)
Highlights:
It has a revamped animation system
A brand new storyboard editor
A session recorder that'll let you make videos out of your work
and tons more stuff
How can we benefit from Wayland?
Wayland uses less energy than X.org (https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=KDE-Plasma-Wayland-Power)
Wayland, more often than not, has better gaming performance (https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=kde-gnome-wayland21&num=4)

It's timely since we're using Linux Mint, and that's the crucible it was forged in.
It's installed by default in Linux Mint 20, and available... in the AUR. Everyone else will need to compile it from Github (https://github.com/linuxmint/warpinator) at this point.
Warpinator is basically just AirDrop on Mac and iOS, but for Linux.
