Tek Linux YouTube Channel Dead?

Hi Guys, first I'd like to appologize if this topic has already been discussed but I searched and couldn't find anything on it. Now down to business. Is the Tek Linux Youtube channel dead? There have not been any new videos as far as I can tell for over 2 months. I would consider myself an advanced linux user but I enjoyed the videos to see what you guys were doing and how you went about getting things done in a Linux environment. I realize you guys are not primarily a Linux channel but I would like to see some more content in this area (maybe even just once a month if thats not too much to ask :) ).

Thanks

It's not dead, they just have lot of things going on. And they get distracted by life occasionally. I would have to say the DIY & How-to section is dead. There hasn't been a new video for 2 years and 9 months.

Damn shame too. I wanted to be told How To Live.

I think Wendell primarily does these videos with Qain mentioning he'd like to get in on them but they both have their own jobs as well. Life comes first :)

Yes, yes I agree life comes first. I guess I was just more or less looking for an assurace that it was not dead. I dont need the how-to stuff but I enjoy learing about new programs or features. Like "Oh hey this is neat you should really check this out"

Example: I was previously oblivious to running a seemless virtual box and occationally ran windows in a full screen virtual box. The seemless mode can be quite handy for running linux/windows programs side by side.

Anyways, great channel(s) guys. Keep it up.

They are in China at the moment

Nooope.

There in Taiwan.

Tell that to China lol.

Guess Ill just have to be satisfied with Linux Action Show. Not as entertaining since Bryan Lunduke left though :(

So is Logan and pistol the only ones who do this full time or do they all have jobs?

Taiwan, officially the Republic of China, is a sovereign state in East Asia. The Republic of China, originally based in mainland China, now governs the island of Taiwan.

As close as makes no difference in this context.

I think they said in a previous video they said that right before the move to seattle, the nas at logan's home had a hard disk(s) that had crapped out. That drive had all the unreleased tek linux content.

We have some content in the hooper for Linux. There had been a lot of busy lately. Apologies for the delay. Actually thought we posted the basica opensuse video but didn't. Oops.

Its just sleeping. Cue parrot sketch.

You should get #teklinux involved in the future.. somehow.. i dont know how, but it might be a good experiment to get linux community members involved, who knows.

We need to clone @wendell

Kind of a shame that the Linux channel had to be put on hold for a while but... Computex reasons. Don't forget Logan's move, too.
I'd really like to see some more videos on the TekLinux channel. It's one of the first reasons why I became a subscriber to the Tek and joined Tek Support. That and the main channel is entertaining yet informative.

He is pining... for the fjords.

I think that there is also a few editors that have some agreement with logan about video editing behind the scenes.

Yeah I mean like they don't have an army of hamsters working behind the scenes.
I rather quality over quantity anyways.
At least they don't release it to vessel, then hold onto it for a month, then re-release it again later to the community when it becomes irrelevant.
