Rob, I've been thinking about this for the past few weeks.

What are your thoughts on whether or not the Linux distros should seriously begin thinking about making the desktop UIs more touch friendly? I ask this because as you know, more and more ultrabooks and even some of the desktop all-in-one PCs have touch screens nowadays.

By and large the Linux desktop user interfaces are still pri(continued)

End Quote

Ikey, We know, We know, and although we are kidding, we can always dream about having such a stable, fast OS like Solus with the power of the AUR.

We discuss breaking down GNU/Linux into its simplest form

In our discussion we discuss adding PPA's or Repositories and the example we used was adding the Brisk Menu to Ubuntu.

The Revenge Installer is a program made by our friend Jody James, which is a Graphical Installer for Arch Linux to make installing vanilla arch an easy task. It walks you through the steps by asking you questions and before you know it, you will have a brand new plain vanilla arch with the desktop of your choice.

Thank you Jody, for all of the hard work you put into it.

Viewer Question LAZ X (Follow Up)

I was wondering if there is a way to normalize the master audio output in Linux. I love Linux but don't like playing movies or music because the audio out is not normalized and I have manually adjust the volume levels constantly. In Windows I use K Lite codec pack which has a plugin option to normalize the main audio out, but I can't seem to find a way to do this in Linux. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

We Have an Answer!

(gzenum2) - Viewer to Destination Linux

Hey guys, great show, loving it !

Had the same problem with normalizing sound and this is how I solve it, it's pretty easy, in your distribution find and install LADSPA plugins, then just edit /etc/pulse/default.pa and add this two lines at the end :

load-module module-ladspa-sink sink_name=compressor plugin=sc4_1882 label=sc4 control=1,1.5,401,-10,20,5,12

set-default-sink compressor

Reboot and it's all good ;)

From RK:

I have successfully installed Ubuntu Mate 16.04 LTS on my Mac Mini as a dual boot system. I also got rEfind installed manually on my Mac. The thing is that rEfind can't seam to boot Ubuntu. I did figure out how to boot into it from a recovery boot in Advanced Systems. I have it all setup, and it is working well, except for that. Do you have any sage advice that could help me solve that boot up problem?

RK Fixed:

I can't believe it, but I solved the problem myself. I was searching the Internet, and I saw the word "nomodeset". I used that command to launch the live disk. I thought,,, "Of course". I found a web page that told me how to edit my grub file to make it permanent, and ... It worked!!! Hooray!

Contact me if you enjoy it.

I love Linux but don't like playing movies or music because the audio out is not normalized and I have manually adjust the volume levels constantly. In Windows I use K Lite codec pack which has a plugin option to normalize the main audio out, but I can't seem to find a way to do this in Linux. Any help will be gr(continued)
