I can go to my nearest journal kiosk and I'm pretty confident I can find a paper Linux magazine which comes a cd with recent kernel source

If that's the case, you can do this with cargo vendor, as many other threads have mentioned

In all likelihood, no you couldn’t. Because nobody buys those anymore.

  Funny, here in Europe there are plenty of those on sale, so apparently people do still buy them.

    Street level magazine kiosks sell magazines with up to date Linux kernel CD roms? That’s a lie. I’ve literally never seen that anywhere in Europe in the last decade. You might be able to find them in specialist shops or larger supermarkets, as you can in the UK, but street level kiosks? Get real.

      I'm in france, I regularly buy one of those when I take the train lol. We have quite a bit of choice and they all have recent-ish issues: https://www.journaux.fr/linux_informatique_1_0_130.html https://www.journaux.fr/linux_informatique_1_0_130.html and you can find at least a couple of them in most kiosks ; at least Linux Identity always comes with a physical disk

    Not in my European country at least. I haven't see a magazine with CD-ROM in years. And most people don't have a cd-dom reader anymore

      Here are a couple for you, https://www.linux-magazin.de https://www.linux-magazin.de https://www.linuxformat.com/ https://www.linuxformat.com/

        The argument isn’t that they don’t exist or are not published, it’s that they are not published widely. Given that the circulation for Linuxformat was just 19,000 in 2014, it seems that that number backs up the position that you wouldn’t find this at a street level vendor.

        I would call most shopping mall surfaces and train station newstands, street level.
        orf 5y ago
        And what do you suppose is the ratio between train stations + shopping malls vs actual street level tobacco and magazine stands/shops is in most European countries? 1 to 700? 1 to 1000? Any way, the whole argument is redundant. Go head to your nearest newsagent and see if they stock it. If you live on top of a train station or a supermarket then you’re due both congratulations and commiserations. For everyone else… you can’t buy them at your nearest kiosk.

        Plenty of people can buy them, even at my tiny town back home, that is a little more than "everyone else".

Do paper linux magazines actually exist any more? 10-15 years ago I'd agree with you, now... that would actually surprise me.

you have a cd reader...?
- BlueTemplar 5y ago
  This is not particularly relevant, as it could also be an USB stick or a SD card. (But why wouldn't you have readers for all 3, potentially as peripherals if you don't have a desktop ?)
  - dunefox 5y ago
    The last CD or DVD I had was over ten years ago. I just have no use for them.
    - BlueTemplar 5y ago
      And you don't have any friends & family that regularly come for help ? When I built my current PC, I didn't bother with a 3.5" floppy drive, but I still had to get an USB one a couple of years ago when an acquaintance showed up needing to read some files from them...
      - dunefox 5y ago
        I do but they don't use them either.

  ...and you don't? I can lend you mine :3
