In this in-depth NixOS review, we’ll explore what makes NixOS fundamentally different from traditional Linux distributions. From declarative configuration to fully reproducible systems, NixOS challenges everything you think you know about managing Linux.
But is it practical? Is it beginner friendly? And does the “immutable” architecture actually make your system better? In this video, you’ll get answers to those questions and more!
In this video, I review Notesnook, a privacy-focused note-taking app designed for users who want secure, reliable, and distraction-free note management across devices.
I explain why I switched to Notesnook, share my first impressions, and walk through key features like theming and customization, note sharing, and syncing behavior. I also break down pricing and overall value, so you can decide whether Notesnook makes sense for your workflow.
Is CachyOS really one of the fastest Linux distributions available right now? In this video, I take a detailed look at CachyOS, an Arch-based Linux distribution that focuses heavily on performance, responsiveness, and modern hardware optimization.
I start by explaining what CachyOS is and who it’s designed for, then talk about the installation process so you know what to expect if you’re thinking about trying it yourself. From there, we dive into how software management works in CachyOS, and I also highlight other key areas where CachyOS stands out, including its performance-oriented defaults, system tweaks, and overall desktop experience.
If you’re curious about high-performance Linux desktops, wondering how CachyOS compares to other popular distributions, or considering switching from Arch, Fedora, or another distro, this review will help you decide whether CachyOS is worth your time.
Ubuntu 25.10 Questing Quokka is here. In this review, we take a deep dive into the latest Ubuntu release and explore what’s new, including GNOME 49, Linux kernel 6.17, and the full migration to Wayland. From installer updates and performance improvements to desktop polish and quality of life tweaks, Ubuntu 25.10 brings major changes to the Linux desktop experience.
Whether you’re new to Linux, a developer, or a DevOps professional, this release has something worth exploring. In this video, I walk through the new features, share my honest impressions, and help you decide if Ubuntu 25.10 is worth upgrading to or installing fresh.
It’s hard to believe, but Fedora has just published the project’s 40th release, which comes with GNOME 46 and Linux kernel 6.8. In this video, Jay gives you his thoughts on the latest version of the popular Linux desktop.
In this video, we’ll take a look at the latest and greatest desktop from the KDE community. Plasma 6 is finally here! With a focus on user experience, customization, and performance enhancements, KDE Plasma 6 is set to redefine what we expect from a Linux desktop environment. In this video, Jay will give you his thoughts.
Fedora celebrates 20 years in November of 2023, and just a day shy of that amazing milestone version 39 has been released. Fedora 39 features the GNOME 45 desktop, and not much else. In fact, it’s quite boring. But you know what? With this release, that’s a great thing! In this quick review, Jay will take a look at Fedora 39.
Congratulations to the entire team behind Fedora – 20 years of an awesome Linux distro is definitely something to be extremely proud of!
Recently, Jay had a chance to check out the latest version of Crunchbang++, a lightweight Linux distribution based on Debian. Version 12 sees the distro rebase on Debian Bookworm, giving users the latest Debian stable base with a well polished OpenBox implementation. Check out all the info in this review!
Check out Crunchbang++ here. Thanks to Akamai for sponsoring this video!
Netdata is a monitoring solution that goes about things a little differently. It auto-discovers running services (and configures itself accordingly) and can be installed in one command. For Free?! In this video, Jay gives his thoughts on Netdata after having a chance to check it out.
Note: This video was not sponsored by Netdata.
Ubuntu 23.04, codenamed the “Lunar Lobster” is here, and along with it comes Linux kernel 6.2 and GNOME 44. While it’s certainly nice to be able to check out the latest GNOME desktop, this release instead ends up being a good example of why non-LTS Ubuntu releases should generally be avoided.
