Who knew Microsoft coming into the Linux Foundation and community representation being dropped was a conflict of interest... Anyone paying attention.
Seems like it's not Linux that sucks, but the people and companies who were supposed to manage and oversee it that suck.
It's all so tiresome.
This is why I'm not really that angry about GNOME hiring a Shaman, beats hiring tech CEO given how they all behave these days.
I mean you need the money you need the capital to develop and pay people which Red hat seems to do as well as canonical the big players I mean for community that works either on donations for commissions it just not sustainable issues also with hardware I'm trying to build all this stuff from scratch without having to deal with Intel or AMD

Linux and open-source software largely being in the hands of... problem people is very concerning. There are only so many places you can run before you're out of OS/software options.
The craziest and worst thing to happen in Linux was a GlANT RAlNBOW CoC being shoved down all the Open Source dev's and user's throats in 2019. The second craziest was the first-degree incident with Hanzo Reizori in 2008.

From Linux Foundation Annual Report 2023:
> Linux kernel support 2% ($7,804,150)
> In 2023 the Linux Foundation is forecasting to spend over $269.02M supporting our mission.
7.80M/269.02M = 2.9%
They did a weird rounding in their report. While there is a drop in the Linux kernel funding, it isn't that huge. What's even more depressing is that the absolute numbers have also decreased.
Linux Foundation is a leftist lunatic funding front. Same as GNOME Foundation.

Nah, you can't wash that much money with Mobile, if you think that the Linux Foundation is there for the people, try your luck with getting funding from therm for any OSS projects that hasn't been started by them.
It's a scam, Microsoft and the other big tech companies figured out, the only way to fight OSS is to buy it, and create a monopoly on the funding model so that even if there is another big movement like Linux, there wont be money for it.
Don't think that Linux and GNU got where they are out of few hackers, everything that is today was possible because of both amazing engineers and the financial support of millions of people around the globe which are now funneled to companies like Microsoft through these amazing AI, Blockchain and other useless stuff that we don't need, while we have Kernal developers living of Cereal.

Re: 1, see above. Re: 5 I was shocked too.
Amazing overview of Linux news I mostly never heard anywhere else. Instantly subscribed!
I wonder if many of these developments are intended to undermine Linux as we know it, like Microsoft is known to have done with: “Embrace, extend, and extinguish" (EEE)
I know right?
People used to say "Contribute to free and open source projects to keep them going". However, it seems that most of that money goes into other stuff. The problem seems to be that big tech is robbing the poor donations that we give to FOSS projects.
Meanwhile I get less than $2 a month to work on jdupes...so it's not a priority.
All Linux updates (including the Kernel updates, Linus) went wonkey this past year. Red Hat is completely lost. What happened??! To be fair though, Apple and Microsoft are going the same way. Let's don't even talk about Android. Instead, lets talk about what started this mess in the first place (, maybe it's the post Pandemic lockdown blues closely followed by Uncle AI?) It's more about losing sight of what open source means. Instead of "What can I contribute", it's more about "What can I take". When there's no more learning, I suppose we have AI.
we live in a world where machine learning specialists worth multiple millions of dollars or year involved with actual haute rocket technologies can barely figure out how to make TWITTER work without too much incident as they're being farmed out by their schizjob boss
To be fair to most of the reporters of Linux stuff, the big thing is the Steam Deck, plasma 6.x and they did all shout out how evil Redhat closing up source was... but I definitely think more should talk about the racist red hat lawsuit.

Hi luke im a gentoo user binary packages arent mandatory i still compile everything from source. The decision for adding binary packages if i recall was to give users more choice and that was reiterated on the news item about the binary packages
PS: some big programs like firefox, the kernel or libreoffice already had binary versions rather than compiling from source, i personally used the binary for libreoffice and yes you can mix binary programs and source compiled programs portage is a really great package manager. Its also really good if ur installing gentoo on an old laptop you dont have to compile certain large packages. Now ofc the use flags dont work for bin pkgs which it makes sense as a maintainer you dont want to compile 5 different versions of vlc one with opus one without opus one with opus and flac one with flac but no opus
so u are a old-programmer turned journalist. so a journalist who understands technology... so a technologist journalist? u are perfect
Amazing talk as always, Lunduke. I've watched all of your Linux Sucks talks, and they are the highlight of my year ~~
The funding drying up might not be such a bad thing, that means less money to grow DEI projects and these go first.
After watching all this part of me just wants to uninstall Linux sell my computer and go live in a cave. I guess it's all which devil is worse and right now Microsoft and Apple are far worse. You can start to see them sink their claws into Linux and using it for their whims in the Linux Foundation. Maybe BSD might be a viable alternative in the future but in the Open Source spirit if you don't like how something is done just Fork IT!
Caves suck too.

Forking the Kernel is not the issue, the issue is getting the funding to continue the development, also marketing to reach people, and lawyers to fight legal issues. It's a failed mission, it will only be downhill from here on.

If racism is wrong (and it is) then it's wrong _no matter who the target is._ And if it's "not racism" _depending on which race it's aimed at?_ Then that only compounds racism with _cowardice._
I didn't shun bigotry just to swap bigots.
Yeah, but there was no racism here. DEI initiatives are common and exist specifically to combat racism. If you google up any article about the red hat racism claims you will see how one-sided this coverage was. A racebaiting jerk was being racist and fired for it, then claimed "they fired me because I am white" when in actuality nearly all of IBM and Redhat was white so of course most of the layed off/fired people were white.
Racism isn't wrong. Diversity is a cult based on bad science, superstition, and lies
Do you mind if I quote this? This is a fabulous quote.
Dont even bother bringing this up, most of these activists are racists themselves. So mentioning anything similar to what you've just said, or how this kind of reverse racism creates racial segregation, will get you labeled as a bigot and banned from many places.
Yes, Linux sucks so bad that Microsoft has embraced it and embedded it. WSL2, they say is for developers, will literally let ya run Linux concurrent with Windows. The CMD looks more like a bash terminal than a DOS session. And soon, we will have to type SUDO to run high level commands. Soon, the year of the Linus desktop will be because windows 12 (wouldn't be surprising) will literally be Linux with MS exclusive API's to drive the rest of the distros off the playing field. I guess, if you can't beat them then take them over by becoming them.
Why are "tech" people such soylent bugmen? I really like MX linux, but I cringed so hard when I read how antiX is proudly anti-fascist, ugh!
Can a group of based programmers (assuming there are any) fork Linux and just make an anti D&I alternative?
I think I'm going to just stick to Debian 10 and never upgrade my hardware.
Unfortunately there is a massive political imbalance between groups of people.
Software people are very heavily skewed towards the left.
The arts people are very heavily skewed towards the left.
College campuses / students / faculty also are very heavily skewed to the left.
This is true in most countries.
People who are center / right / conservative are generally not in tech / art / university environments.

To boldly suck where no OS has sucked before!
As a newbie Linux user, I sincerely thank you for this report. I don't want to see this freedome-loving OS buried by foolishness, but like you said at the end: if Linux can survive this year, it just might survive anything (paraphrased).
big lawsuit hitting ibm and rh. glad you mentioned the stories.
I can only trust the opinions of Linux users when they're willing to say Linux sucks. And yes, this dead horse NEEDS to be beaten. If Linux is ever going to thrive or take over, things need to change. Evidently, what the community is doing now is not working. Especially the endless forking I keep hearing about.
I love and resonate with your joke using a Firefox update as an example. I swear, most change notes are just an included package upgrading to a new minor version for minor bug fixes that aren't really felt by the end user. It's like "libwhoknows updated to version 0.1.1" and "libwhocares updated to version 0.9.1" or even "random-name text editor updated to 5.101.6 - recolors syntax for java syntax mode". Linux community gets way too excited about minor updates that don't get us anywhere turning Linux journalism into a desperate straw-grasping industry.
It's hard to believe open-source is democratized by nature. I highly doubt a shaman would have been installed as ceo by vote from the community of the project they oversee.
I remember the shift from MacOS 9 to OS X. It was bright, it was new, it was sexy, and it was awesome that it was willing to leave code behind and told developers to update their stuff or get left behind.
I feel the linux and VGA output part, so many cringe memories from my college years being the "weird linux guy"
Can we talk about how the sound system on my Window 10 install craps out twice a month, but my 22.04 partition "just works"
How much does it cost to put some words on a badge though? In fact, make the badge blank and give everyone sharpies. Cheappppp
Here something which still sucks on Linux: audio-software using 100% audio-volume for 'new' programs. For example, in my Firefox-window the sound-volume remains the same but as soon as I open a private window of Firefox the audio-volume is set to 100%. Whenever I play a new game the audio-volume is 100%. This is not only annoying, it also is dangerous (hearing). It gets worse when you can't leave the game because the developer uses some weird mode which makes the game freeze as soon as you leave it (tiling window manager), for most of such buggy games you can solve that with a setting in the video/graphics-menu, for some games you can't, I currently have at least 3 of those games.
That's weird, I don't have that problem. Using Gentoo with pipewire and dwm (of course, with X)
for this I've rejected Pulseaudio and control volume only globally in ALSA - there are almost certainly some things I can't do because of that but I've yet to encounter them. I compartmentalize everything to PC-per-task so I'm never playing games on the same PC I do producing or watching media. For the hearing-safety issue I think "volume-is-global" is a good principle and to move from it there would need to be consistency across not just software but (e.g.) what levels different UA-cam creators record at, or making it that any audio is aware of what decibels it's going to put out on the IRL media player+sound environment+hardware
This is a problem that I have long left behind, it would be helpful if you can tell us if you are using pipewire or pulseaudio. Im on arch kde btw BUT this also dont happen on my hyprland setup
@@j2sk I use pulseaudio and I use amixer (hotkeys which I bound to the shell'commands') to change the audio-volume of the soundcard. I always had this happen with PulseAudio, also before I moved from KDE to dwm. This is a PulseAudio-problem. When I have set a volume PulseAudio remembers it but PulseAudio is rather dumb and does not realize that a private window should be treated the same as a regular window, that a new game which is spawned by a known process (like Steam) should get the same audiovolume at first as the old one for which you already set the volume.
I also tried out pipewire in the past (1-2 years ago), that was a trainwreck, it couldn't handle my soundcard for whatever reason.
@@Winnetou17 I use dwm so I use X. Maybe you don't notice it as much? It also depends on your headphone. I use the Hifiman, a great headhpone (if you replace the default cable) but because it uses planar magnetic drivers (which give much more accurate sound) I use it in a mode in which the sound is more amplified (analog stereo duplex is the name which pavucontrol gives) than the default mode (digital).
Here a quick tip, for changing audiovolume of an application I recommend pulsemixer if you use pulseaudio, it works in the terminal and is nicer to use than pavucontrol because you don't have to use the mouse. Also pavucontrol recently needlessly switched to gtk4 (on Arch already a few months), consequently the window got bright white and blinded its users.
It's time to abandon open source. Devs shouldn't work for free.
Did anything happen on the Arch side of things? I missed them in the 'distros' section.

I wish Lunduke and his collabortors success with the distro they are planning to create. I personally probably won't use it (cause I think that Wayland is the way to go and I like how KDE works with it), but I think their goals are noble and I'm crossing fingers for them.
Binaries for gentoo makes sense, so long as the exact source code from which they were compiled is provided. _That_ is the distinguishing factor: no programs for which the source code is not fully available. The binary provided for a kernel should produce exactly the same program as compiling against that same kernel without any custom flags.

The point is, that the Linux Foundation could easily spare some millions to spread some money around to important FOSS projects, but they didn't.

The other side that xritics briefly mentioned, is that you can have anything as a snap, including daemons, system tools and I think, even libraries. That is, some things you can have them as snaps, but not flatpaks. From what I remember, a good example of that is Nextcloud, the cloud server software - which can be installed trivially as a snap.

Does spending on the kernel actually benefit development or is it like throwing so much fertilizer on your crops that it blocks the sun?
good question, I believe so. testing, research could also be done besides normal PRs
I think the point was less that they were spending a smaller percentage on the kernel, more that an insane majority of their spending doesn't go into anything even related to Linux.
01:04:44 Yep Debian is fine, actually it's my favorite even Operating System.
Sure, but most of us prefer uneven operating systems.
One thing that still sucks on Linux (or at least GNOME, but hopefully will be finally sorted out this year) is support for modern display standards like variable refresh rate or high dynamic range colors. It feels weird that Windows has much better support for these new technologies because back in the Windows XP/7 days, it used to be the exact opposite - Windows was usually the last to support new things, Linux was usually first.
Oh, and don't forget Ubuntu with their always outdated and never updated software in "universe". That continues to suck for a long time.
I switched from Windows a couple weeks ago and lack of 10 bit colour and HDR is literally the only thing I miss and reason why I still dual boot. Just spent bank on a new OLED TV monitor and I'm sure as hell gonna enjoy it when watching HDR content.
@@Isaac_Brock Two things.
Why an OLED TV as a computer monitor? At least OLED monitor manufacturers have to take static images into account, but TVs as I understand are a little more lax when it comes to burn in testing.
And how far away is it from you? I'd imagine using it at regular monitor distance would be a pain, with the vertical height. Even the 40" ones are massive for 16:9.
@@bilbobagend8155 Its actually the other way around. The TVs generally have better burn in protection, and much better implemented HDR. They also cost twice as much, on average.
I'm not using it at a desk, it's on a TV stand and I sit as far away from it as comfortable depending on what I'm doing. Generally a little closer when watching TV/movies or playing games vs productivity tasks. Anywhere from 5-8 feet. It's 55".
When the monitors catch up and get a little better (subpixel layout) in a year or two I'll get one for desk productivity work. Probably 32".
Linus will not retire any time soon.
No one can say that. Especially people in a parasocial relationship who don't even know what he's like behind closed doors. Plus people aren't going to invest time and money if it's future hangs on what one aging man decides to do.
LINUX SUCKS (says the guy with 3 Linux boxes in front of him)! (Edit: to be clear, the guy with 3 Linux boxes in front of him is me)
its meant to be satire.
@@palaashatri Really???? Had no idea....
@@user-jk8li8bv7i It's been like that from the beginning 13 or so years ago.
@@Winnetou17 Er...yes. The guy with 3 Linux boxes in front of him is me. One Arch, One Mint. One LMDE. I should have been more clear. I've been hard-core Linux only for 24 years. I've watched Brian as long as he's been doing this.
Neeeeeerd
You know, if the FreeBSD or the OpenBSD foundation had as much money as The Linux Foundation, we'd have "Year of BSD Desktop" a loooooong time ago.
Yeah maybe gnome is leading the charge in having business shamans protect the project
Oh boy. This is gonna be a good one!! Isn't it funny that earlier years talks were championed by the entire Linux community - same Lunduke; hmmmm what happened?? 😂
Insert *current year* where everyone who doesn’t tow the line is a Right Winger 😂
@@Chag69420 *toe. And ding ding ding!
It became all politics and boredom.
The craziest and worst thing to happen in Linux was a GlANT RAlNBOW CoC being shoved down all the Open Source dev's and user's throats in 2019. The second craziest was the first-degree incident with Hanzo Reizori in 2008.

Put a toe out of line. But tow the line.
Your research and depth of coverage is unmatched, and you shine light on things nobody else does. All Linux enthusiasts owe you a debt.
Finally. We thought it would never air.
Best is thunderbird. I havent used it in like 8 years, but there were no visible changes since netscape navigator 3.1 to year 2010. Then someone may GUI worse and integrated calendar. Then dropped extensions for security or some reasons and made it useless. Sometimes I feel like project development effort is in inverse proportion of funding. KDE is getting gradually better. Gnome makes whole GTK ecosystem gradually more simple and worse. Rust and blender are fine. But abstract instutions are funding more than KDE, FreeBSD and other projects, that are actually useful?
It looks more and more like we're living in a south park episode.
48:34 AND LG! I managed to dump the eMMC of a modern LG TV recently and discovered that it's using closed-source forks of the Linux kernel, glibc, pulseaudio and chromium! (chromium's BSD licensed but it isn't mentioned anywhere in the settings)
That explain a lot. I have nothing but issues with the software on my C1. The most annoying issue being "app has run out of memory" errors.
LG is a terrible, fraudulent company on many levels. I wil never own another LG product from phones to friges after my last interaction with there dark pattern model of doing business.
The linux foundation has lost the horizon
I think (now) is more like cash gruber for making money to own business
The wonder is gone
first you mention that bsd is a pascal compiler and then you mention plan 9, what are you gonna say next? that plan 9 is a better mac os alternative than haiku? :D
Thank you for your well balancianated overview about the situation with Linux in general! It shows that there are sane people out there who can assessionate the matter of things objectovocally. 👌
None.
I had 16k of RAM in my C64 and it could sing the Star Spangled Banner while shooting color fireworks on the monitor. It's all a matter of using the RAM for what you need, not for useless features.
damn i didnt know open suse was based like that
It must be a trip gaming with you sir!
I love linux and its my favorite OS which i've used now for over 20 years but the politics and funding is really getting horrible.
