Linux penetration on Steam is around 5%.
We need to get a steady >10% so companies would notice us.
I would say, setup guides, Windows equivalent applications and Games setup, would be what people are afraid to test but willing to try.

Really small form factor linux , low power boards. Raspberry pi downwardsâŚ
Single chip linux for data aqcuisition and control
Linux performance on obsolete tech - New tech is unobtainium - what worthwhile stuff can you do with DDR3 /DDR2 systems ? This will need meaningful workloads as benchmarks.
e.g. Video playback, spreadsheet operations

I self host a lot of stuff but permissions, smb, nfs and your own cloud drive is a massive pain point. I am the only user but if letâs say I have a file server for a family I have no idea how to set it up!

Maybe, given recent development a new pfsense/forbidden router series, maybe ipfire
A report on Wayland progress being made with the various DEs touching on HDR and color calibration and management would be nice.

Openwrt. Seems obvious as an essential for the house in these time. I know he likes pfsense. But kinda just works and is pure Linux. Making it pretty would be nice, like the lcars theme on pihole

Well he did the battlemage videos but many of us are struggling alot to get multi GPU Battlemage functional in a usable state.
Something like a April 2026 - Battlemage setup guide that works would be amazing.
Maybe setting up Comfyui and dependancys or something with a webaccess for variable use on the current LLM models such as Qwen3.5 and what not.
This for me and i assume many of us has been a giant rabit hole with so many broken paths or things that lead into OS breaking recomendations for âFixingâ things.
Getting a LLM to âworkâ is one thing but to function at any kind of userlevel outside of command prompting is quite the peice of work right now.
Id like to see him expose some of this and maybe some best practices for battlemage in the current year/envronment.
Just my suggestion.
Some e-mail self hosting stuff would be cool.

Email is one of those things that is essential to our daily lives, but is terribly difficult to secure. I agree and would love to hear Wendellâs take on self-hosting your own email, even if itâs in a small Azure tenant or something.
Additionally, I would love to hear how Wendell goes about hardening Linux boxes. Does he use CIS benchmarks, how does he benchmark his machines? Does he use STIGs? Spinning up Linux machines is one thing, but doing is safely and securely is a whole other.
So, my overall vote (for whatever thatâs worth) is for security content!

re: the year of linux on the desktop.
what exists like MDT+SCCM+Intune, et.al. to manage hundreds of linux desktops (and associated policies) in a business setting?

I would like to hear Wendell discussing Nix packages and NixOS as a whole. The âimmutable distroâ has gotten popular because of steamOS and Bazzite-likes, but I want more in depth about what actually happens when ânixos-rebuild switchâ creates 50,000 sym links

Iâd love to see more stuff about security content.
[Edit] For linux specifically obviously.

yes to current linux news. Mentioning CVEs and such like in Ep 3 was a good start. Ever since Linux Game Cast ceased Iâve been missing my linux changes and updates news source. The kids and there cachy outside with immutable roots. How will I ever know whatâs HIP?
The new kernel should fill some time. Plenty of changes(although some might not care that deep)
Got to balance the LLM creep into linux.
Overall +1 for the new Linux video series. Iâm here for it

Second this
Even if not running openscap/wazuh for CIS benchmarks (and more with wazuh) tips for hardening are always good.
Might be more of a guide less of a chat though

Iâd like to see discussion on how & IF basic users can feedback to distros, to help them, help users.
If distros are even open to comments from users.
Like we have @Lurker struggling to get GUI tools to do a bunch of simple stuff.
He has made several good points recently, that by now, one should not really need to dip into the command line to fix basic stuff.
I wonder if distroâs are open to responses on pain points, especially from new users, or if they just want to keep the project they contribute to running smoothly.
Back in the day, Ubuntu Mate was designed to need as little CLI as Martin could get away with; steam OS was supposed to be light on CLI use, and of course NAS software has mostly GUI settings/tools, bit fewer options.
Just generally wondering how new users can help, if at all
and not just with typos in documentation

Yeah the GUI tools thing is a good one, I wish more people would recognize that whatever they think about doing things in the command line, GUI tools are still a pain point. And frustratingly, itâs often not even due their lack of existence, itâs just obscurity. A friend of mine was really just against any kind of backup on linux until I showed him Pika Backup, which is just borg, and then he was fine and loves it. Warp Transfer is another good tool that a few people I know that ship big media between them for editing have come to love which is also just a GUI wrapper that makes using the thing super nice and easy for people. So many of these things already exist, but I think because they are just GUI wrappers for existing command line tools people donât like to tell people about them? I dunno, the insistence on using just the command line when very neat GUI tools exist even if they are just wrappers is very odd to me.

How do you like Wazuh? Seems heavy.
Folks sharing the suggestions here might not be the majority of the viewership on the channel.
- Yes, linux related news is nice
- Virtualization related topics
- Self hosting as others suggested (maybe start with Truenas vs unraid vs omv etc.)
- Anything LLM related, comfyui on AMD hardware in Linux
The majority is cordially invited to make their views known
