June 11Episode 162: Be the FOSS You Want to See
Amolith, Conor, Mike and Shane discuss the things they'd change about FOSS. Conor brings up gatekeeping. Is the gatekeeping reputation of Linux exaggerated? They touch on well known YouTubers' takes on Linux. Amolith dislikes tribalism. Mike would like to see more fun. Shane would like Linux to be recognized as a creative tool. The talk turns to Gaussian splats and chroma keys.
