The specs of the "Beast" are:
My favorite distro for 2019 is Arch for advanced users. The best distro for newer users or advanced users who may not want to use Arch is MX17, Peppermint, or Pop_OS.
KDE and Xfce just depends on my mood. For advanced users i3wm.
I work in telecommunications.
I've compiled a list of my favorite software here!
My favorite podcasts to listen to include:
I'm a host on Destination Linux but was also a guest before then. I've been on The Ask Noah Show as a co-host. I appeared on Ubuntu podcast as a co-host and interviewee.
I no longer user Windows outside of work. Not even for gaming.
I think their OS is inferior but it's nothing personal. :)
I donate to organizations that support FOSS and to the developers. This includes: Arch, OBS, KDE, Xfce, Debian, EFF, Content Creators, etc.
If the sponsor aligns with the values of my channel and I personally can vouch for their product or service.
I will review products that are sent to me but will notify the viewers that the item was sent to me free of charge. I will not agree to any terms requiring me to praise a product in exchange for money. All reviews are honest to my opinions.
