  • Summary

  • Weekly roundup of everything new in the Linux and Open Source world! May contain gaming and privacy related topics.

    This is a longer counterpart to the Linux and Open Source news videos available on The Linux Experiment Youtube Channel.

    I’m Nick, I’ve been making Linux and Open Source related videos on YouTube since 2018, with a sizeable following of more than 300 000 subscribers. I’ve been using Linux since 2006, starting with Ubuntu (like most people), and I have 12 years of experience in project management and UX, and that’s the lens I use to view the progress of our Linux desktops and open source applications!
