I watched this a couple weeks ago and it just seems to have so little information density - like this guy talks and talks and talks and the actual content is like 15 minutes of this.
- andy_ppp 6y agoAgree, I had to switch off the video, it was all talk and no content. I mean he’d got to “cover Linux on desktop only” and “search interest for Linux is declining since 2004” and that was 50% through the video. He should consider a career in politics being able to use this many words to say nothing...
- aesyondu 6y agoSame. I liked the previous iterations, however.
- nix23 6y agoYep, that! Maybe you have some fun with BSD-Lore (Kirk McKusick): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DEEr6dT-4uQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DEEr6dT-4uQ Or Solaris/illumos (Bryan M. Cantrill): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zRN7XLCRhc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zRN7XLCRhc
- MaxBarraclough 6y agoThe Illumos talk is fantastic. I especially enjoy his take on Oracle, 36:30 through 39:00.

- ur-whale 6y agoIf you use the icons on YT scroll bar at the bottom to spot when the slide changes, you can get through to the useful content in less than 5 mn.
- krick 6y agoYeah, but TBH this is true about most of these conference talks: they are just mediocre attempts into stand-up comedy.
- 7532yahoogmail 6y agoAgree. The guy needs to get a room with himself, get over it, and come back with something to say. Linux also isn't for desk tops by and large.
- mattbillenstein 6y agoI'll say it has some wins - it's become a much better development platform than MacOS for example since it's closer to what you deploy to. And you can run Chrome, Zoom, Slack more or less natively and things work. I've used an Ubuntu desktop at work for a few years and it's a nice environment.
