What's Happening in 2025?

Happy Holidays to y'all! Follow me on Mastodon and get the gift of more Matt! fosstodon.org/@thelinuxcast

Why not on the larger platform, Twitter instead of the pedophile echo chamber?

In 2024, I stick with Linux on all my computers as the main OS. I kept switching between Arch, Ubuntu, and Fedora. In 2025 I'd like to see if I can stick to one distro. Not sure if it'll happen, but I'm pretty certain I'm not going back to Windows.

[@billbez7465]

My New Year resolution is to make Linux my main driver. I've used Linux Mint for 4+ years on a secondary PC, and the more I use Linux, the more I like it.

[@c0wg0d]

All the stuff you said is coming next year sounds amazing! Long reviews, home server stuff, bash scripting, python programming, ricing (yes!!!), all great! I wish I could say my new year's resolution would be to get off Windows, but let's be honest, that's just not going to happen. Maybe I can at least try to learn NixOS in a VM, since I think that looks like the best distro out there right now.

[@Leahi84]

Not really into home server stuff but ill definitely tune in for all of your Linux related videos! Good luck with your resolutions! I don't do new years resolutions because I never stick to or complete them. Just not worth the stress.

[@mgoolong8827]

Danke!

[@brunombardi]

Happy Holidays to all the team of The Linux Cast. Thanks for all the great content in 2024 and success with the new ones!

[@JakeSwett]

I for one would love to see more home server stuff. Also, as someone who's had a similar opinion as you with emacs previously, I'd actually love to see you do a long-term emacs review. I also love the idea of ricing content focused around Hyprland. Wayland is indisputably the future of Linux GUIs, and at this point Hyprland, while still not "stable" appears to be the forerunner WM (or compositor) in that space so far. Thank you for all that you do for the community, Matt. I wish you and your family a very merry Christmas and nothing but the best in 2025. Cheers!

[@DarthVader11912]

Emacs long term review. I've been asking for it for like a year.

[@JoshuaT902]

2025 will be the year of the Linux desktop

[@andreaspatsalides1914]

And I will become an astronaut!

[@donaldwilliams6821]

@@andreaspatsalides1914 Congratulations for joining NASA. haha

[@thingsiplay]

I can feel it too.

[@gimcrack555]

That happen to me on July 15, 2003. So that happen 21+ years ago for me. The one's that didn't follow is their fault.

[@Mihailo-l3v]

Not really. Linux enthusiasts kept saying that for years and it never happened.

[@Bomb-55]

I can say I am super excited about home lab stuff. Been looking to get into it myself. I just got an AOOSTAR to try to play around with some stuff. I would highly recommend making a beginning guide/tutorial. I know I would love it!

[@sEekAndDesTroy0202]

Sounds really good! I also would love to see a emacs long term review

[@shadyKING057]

I just got into Hyprland. Setup all my needed keybindings, and other staff. The only thing I need is to be led by the hand to how to customize waybar.

[@itsfish8672]

Long term on puppy Linux

[@discoRoyale769]

Funny enough, I just downloaded an introductory bash scripting pdf. Good luck in the new year!

[@danwilhelm7214]

Looking forward to wayland wm & ricing content. Please include river wm. 😀

[@sachinbhat7057]

Could you also maybe take a look at other wayland compositors other than hyprland as well? Maybe qtile, newm-atha, wayfire and river would be nice.

[@jr_Linux]

matt since ur gonna do WM's can you check out and show "how tos" with river and pinnacle just curious how they work with wayland.

[@xaalivaar7868]

I have no idea what home servers are. Like, why home servers? But I think you should make content on that if that is what you want to, otherwise forcing yourself to do something you do not want to do, will burn you out. Also, a lot of people who want to get knowing about home servers, will find it useful. I will definitely watch them.

[@hipdad9461]

I give you a hard time ALL the time. It is because I like you and appreciate what you do. Thank You for tolerating me. My all your days be blessed!

[@advaitc2554]

I'll never have time to mess around with a home lab, but I would find that content very interesting.

[@sterben4958]

do a long term emacs review

[@gimcrack555]

I used emacs and vim over a year with both. To see what the hype was all about. Both are great and even used ed before these two. But I didn't settle down with them as my go to now a days. Been using micro forever now, so my default text editor will always be micro for the time being.

[@sterben4958]

@@gimcrack555 emacs isn’t a test editor so people need to stop having that expectation.

[@10leej]

In the meantime I vow to release 1 video per month.

[@saamis27]

Tried to move to Linux last year but only lasted 3 months, gonna try again this year. 2025 is gonna be my year of the Linux. Win11 is not an option for me even if they cancel all the AI crap

[@IAmTheSlink]

For home lab how about doing some Proxmox stuff and/or NextCloud stuff.

[@tinfoil-hat-qc1rk]

I'd love to see you doing homelabbing videos

[@advaitc2554]

I know absolutely nothing about bash scripting or any kind of programming. But with the help of Chat GPT I was able to create a simple and useful script that worked. Pretty cool.

[@shadyKING057]

If you make video(s) about how to setup Docker to use Arch with AUR on something like Fedora (i hope im not got confused with app), it would be great content regardless of whether the person want to know about that typa staff or not

[@gregcampwriter]

We all need to issue Matt a two-year challenge to use Cinnamon Mint.

[@kumudbaiju4924]

Ready for hyprland stuff

[@jr_Linux]

i tried open suse i had kde installed just to try it, not sure if it was the update or having 2 OS's on the system. being i have multiple hard drives. but it worked for a week and then 1 update and kde borked. my resolution went to 800x600 and only register'd 1 monitor and u couldn't change it in the settings, so idk what happened. then i went to install xfce to have a stable install. and it locked me out of graphical session. so grats on it working, im never leaving arch. its just perfect.

[@Dreamwalker-Studio]

Yea Bigfoot I think Linux will experience a real boost in 2025 and the reason for this is that Microsoft is making its operating system unusable.I wish you a Merry Christmas and thank you for your good content

[@shadyKING057]

I'll be honest assumptions of what I want to enter in fish shell is gamechanger for me. Like very big, if i compare windows with linux i'd add this as big plus from linux side. That's why its hard for me to stay on bash

[@xaalivaar7868]

Yes, more rice please.

[@yghhhhrffv]

Do Linux mint challenge next

[@AhmedFaisal13]

You know what? Try building Linux From Scratch. I was like almost noob in bash scripting and LFS/BLFS was like a crash course in bash scripting. And who knows? You may make Linux From Scratch your next two years challenge 😊

[@advaitc2554]

I love Tumbleweed! Just got the 6.12 kernel yesterday. Nice. 🎉

[@samjohnson5044]

Here is a New Year's resolution I will never accomplish: understand the VIM help facility. All the colons and brackets are beyond comprehension

[@c0wg0d]

Check out ThePrimagen's vim tutorial video series. There's even a game you can play to learn vim. It's awesome.

[@uuu12343]

I am scared shitless of 2025, like frozen by fear, so I probably wont make resolutions as I want to have as little expectations as possible, primarily so I dont get let down and disappointed

[@comosaycomosah]

i been using fish lately never ever thought i would bc always use bash but i tried cachyos and it came on there and yea very nice *borat voice...and i think honestly you do enough talking type deep dive stuff go crazy with what ya want bro most of us will still watch you normally...and mine is to build the lowest ram system i can with gentoo/alpine/void not sure which one yet but like with dwm/st all the suckless and all the minimal shiz for a 90% non gui cli/tui on....i may even try and get away with using musl another thing i really want to do is learn more deeply about the kernel and kernel development on the linux side but also want to....experiment with android side of things too on the kernel

[@WelshUncut]

Home lab stuff? What's the deal with everyone doing that rubbish. It's like all the good Linux channels have decided to bin their channels.
