In this episode we spend a lot of time hyping things up, including some things you might not expect (from a Linux show, not so much Leo). We open up with Zorin making some money moves that helps WinBoat among a few other projects, then really dive into the show with Cosmic! A bit about how we've fared now that the 1.0 Cosmic Epoch is here, how things have changed, and what other goodies System76 has up their sleeve (it's a lot!). Then, we spend some time dissecting Mozilla's newest AI move. It turns out, if you dig deep enough, there's still hope, contrary to the wildly hot-take style news about things so far. And our final topic, Snapscope, a way to scan your Snaps for vulnerabilities, but then end up chatting way more about Snaps in general. There's also a bit of SteamThing errata we need to cover before ending it all on a high note for the holidays. Hope you enjoy and we'll see you soon. Happy holidays!

Coming up in this episode * Wayland is inevitable... * RAM is now Unobtanium * and a Linux User Space OS? Today in User Space, we RE-remind everyone that Wayland is certainly the only way forward for the big dogs. Gnome had adopted a Wayland-only stance quite a while ago, and now it looks like Plasma will be following suit. Then, we dive into the wonderful world of Everything terrible that AI is doing to us in the form of RAM price hikes (as much as 500%... so far). And finally, we hit up the feedback that's been piling up! There's a little more to get to eventually, but it'll all get there since we went a little long in this episode. 0:00 Cold Open 1:05 Wayland Is Inevitable... 26:53 RAM Is Now Unobtanium 49:54 The LUS Mailbag 50:19 Mailbag: Daniel 57:40 Mailbag: schemage2210 1:03:19 Mailbag: ewanmarshall 1:10:13 Mailbag: michaelchalmers 1:15:26 Next Time 1:23:08 Stinger The Video Version (https://youtu.be/dyfMTBn7AoM) https://youtu.be/dyfMTBn7AoM 📣Announcements📣 This program was made possible by: * 📺️Youtube (https://youtube.com/linuxuserspace) * 📽️TILvids (https://tilvids.com/a/linuxuserspace) * And by contributions to your L-U-S station by Patrons (https://patreon.com/linuxuserspace) like you 😍 Plasma is all in on Wayland KDE blog post (https://blogs.kde.org/2025/11/26/going-all-in-on-a-wayland-future/) We shouted back in 2023 on Season 4 Episode 5 (https://www.linuxuserspace.show/405) The Steam Deck which runs on KDE Plasma has high sales numbers (https://www.techspot.com/news/106921-handheld-gaming-pcs-surpass-6-million-sales-steam.html) 📣More Announcements📣 Want to have a topic covered or have some feedback? - send us an email, [email protected] OR jump on over to the open forum on Lemmy (https://lemmy.linuxuserspace.show/c/forum) RAM prices are silly.

This past week, as we were gearing up to record an episode, life had to just get in the way. We had a little wiggle room mid-week, so we decided to get something on tape anyway. Just something a little less structured. And so, this B-side was born. The object of the game was to dive deep into Cosmic, the first "reference implementation" in our two desktop series (Cosmic and Plasma) and give you honest opinion, good and bad, as we experienced it on livestream... for two hours. Of course there are tangents, because, well, it's still us. The desktop is quite amazing for something that's only (publicly) existed for a little over a year. We poke almost everything that comes with the default install of Pop_OS! 24.04. We'll poke the rest over the next few weeks. We're interested to hear what you think, especially on the audio version. We tried to describe everything we saw as we went because obviously, you can't see, but surely there's room to improve. If you're curious, the video to go with all this is at: https://youtu.be/RwGZiMTtaoI The audio comes from a few odd sources, so things might not sound normal. Still turned out quite well, overall, but at 1:45:20, we lose Dan's voice. I know, I know, we should have had a backup. We usually have three! But the on-the-flyness of the recording kept us from remembering to even bring in the backup-backup. Either way, sorry about that! It's just Leo at that point, so bear with. We know it's not a normal episode, but we still hope you enjoy!

Not all programming languages carry a license. Here is a Stackoverflow post about C language. (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5099384/is-c-open-source) Rust has a dual MIT and Apache. license (https://www.rust-lang.org/policies/licenses) Over the years many CVEs have been discovered for the Linux Kernel (https://www.cvedetails.com/product/47/Linux-Linux-Kernel.html?vendor_id=33). Many of those involve memory corruption. 📣More Announcements📣 Want to have a topic covered or have some feedback? - send us an email, [email protected] OR jump on over to the open forum on Lemmy (https://lemmy.linuxuserspace.show/c/forum) Feedback ukwan from YouTube Just kept running 18.04 to 2024. Just switched to ESM and kept going. jliljj from YouTube I'd go for the upgrade, good way to stay current and learn. FredsTech1 from YouTube Asked about unattended upgrades. Leo and Dan both use them. By default they just apply security updates but Dan turns them on for everything. The Ubuntu Docs (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticSecurityUpdates) siljrath from YouTube I thought I signed up. Anyone know when thundermail happens? Conan Kudo In my experience: people who are less familiar with system installations don't have problems with Anaconda's hub-and-spoke model. Amanita from Patreon It is impossible to Backport everything. Using the latest software is best but using LTS or ESR solutions is also good. redvamp128 from YouTube You guys should probably do an episode on the history of puppy Linux It has a good possibility for next season.
