Patroncast S04E44 - Tier changes (maybe) and desktop-made OS
Added 2024-11-04 11:09:10 +0000 UTCHey everyone!
In this episode, I ramble about:
01:00 Making changes to the tier structure of Patreon, if you so choose (expect a little poll to vote in that, if you're on the 1$/month tier)
09:40 KDE OS and GNOME OS, two new initiatives, and why I think they're a good idea (as in: letting the desktop also make the entire distro is god)
I hope you'll enjoy listening to it, and I hope you'll have a great week!

I'm happy to spend $2. But I am someone who doesn't want daily emails. I also don't want audio-only. Audio distracts me from my thinking, and I historically have never engaged with audio-only anything. I do like the source links, but would prefer they're in a cleaner list format for right-click-copy to save for later.

2024-11-07 00:11:51 +0000 UTCA $2 tier is a great idea IMO. In fact it was my (unexpressed ๐) complaint when I first subscribed that the lowest tier felt like too little and the middle one felt like too much. I have since upgraded and I'm not going to downgrade, but I think $2 might be the sweet spot for a lot of people.

2024-11-05 19:20:16 +0000 UTCI feel like longer analysis/commentary should be saved for the weekly show. Personally, I'd just like to hear what the stories of the day are with some context. If it's gets lengthy, I start hitting the skip button for topics I'm less interested in.

2024-11-05 00:01:09 +0000 UTCThe daily news show is the first podcast I listen to every day that it is published! Just to voice my opinion, I like it when it is kept succinct, like in the 5-8 minute range. Also, I'm very interested in the idea of making GNOME OS a general purpose distro, but also, given the way you described it on the show (specifically immutability) I'm wondering how it would differ from Vanilla OS. I think the project is pretty upfront about how they try to offer a vanilla GNOME experience and after using it for a few months, that seems to be the case.

2024-11-04 23:39:21 +0000 UTCHey Nick, honestly 2โฌ per month is fine, don't overthink it. Some people might complain about the price increase but you can't please everyone. I'm personally fine giving you 5โฌ ๐. I like the idea about an immutable distro for KDE and Gnome, but I do wonder how they will do the immutability. Will they do what OpenSuse does with their Aeon desktop or what Fedora does with Rpm-ostree? By the way, you said that you had problems installing DaVinci resolve on an immutable system, I don't know if you tried an Ublue Fedora spin but they have an install helper that uses a Just recipe, maybe it's something that could be helpful? I personally haven't tried it. https://universal-blue.discourse.group/t/davinci-resolve-setup-guide/1197

2024-11-04 20:40:58 +0000 UTCI like keeping my money just as much as the next guy, but I must admit that the current Daily News $1 tier is insanely good value ๐ I listen every day and find that the daily news are simply the best thing you produce! (Let me add that I tremendously enjoy your videos as well of course)

2024-11-04 16:40:52 +0000 UTC$1/month here - I treat the daily news and patroncast like a newsletter. I like getting an overview of the topics and keeping track of what's happening, and then if I want to know more I will look at the actual "cast" part. I would be totally happy to move up to $2.
