The Future of Software Development | The Linux Action Show! Season 11 Episode 7

[thomasward00]

Until a company like Canonical actually becomes a paid for desktop OS product, it will always be half baked for average end users.

Open Source is ok BUT, you will never get a serious quality product for free...

[rajkrystian]

@thomasward00

open source != free product :)

everything depends on particular company dealing with open source :)

[bamdadkhan]

omg, you were the guy talking about why desktop linux sucks? i'll have to subscribe. :)

[PerErik87]

better baled than grey i guess :P they do have colour you know

[L7230]

[L7230]

[MJayMor88]

Bryan, like the haircut. Love the show guys, keep up the good work.

[XxDITONExX]

The lack of hair makes your eyes look all the much more wide.

[rz4prezi]

goats eat hair?

[jeffanthonyfds]

I've been rattling this over in my brain. It sounds like it could be the open source version of .dot net

[travmanx]

haha Bryan looks like a pirate on the preview

[BryanLunduke]

@travmanx BOOOOSH

[sm0kingJay]

his hair!?!?!

[jadenedaj]

When the walls fell >:V~~~~

[jeffanthonyfds]

I think you're missing the future of computing. Google is spearheading an initiative to allow web pages (apps) to access your graphics card. I think all future computing will be web apps and this way of not-proprietizing the OS or Browser would be the best avenue for the Visual Python concept you speak of.

[BryanLunduke]

@jeffanthonyfds One of many! Illumination has no inherent limitation on language, framework or platform.

[tedcleggett]

It is my belief that the software development idea is good for BEGINNERS ONLY. The problem we are facing today as developers, is that everything is automated. Sure it is great for productivity, but not great for learning software development.

[BryanLunduke]

@tedcleggett I agree... to a point. I personally miss the good old days (I'm looking at you 1980's!). Where real computer hobbyists still existed, and cut their teeth on a good old fashioned command line and a dev language with limited features. But there's also a great place for something... different.

[tedcleggett]

@BryanLunduke Bryan, it's not that I think it's a bad idea, I'm just looking at the long term effect on developers. I kind of see it like everyone leaving a Linux platform for MAC or WINDOWS and then complaining why they have virus or how come they cannot get connected to a network. It would be better if the learn the foundations of how a system works instead of JUST thinking about productivity.

[tedcleggett]

@BryanLunduke However, you are correct in that I'm from an older generation. As you can see, I TYPE my words not TEXT them. But todays kids can't even write a proper paper...go figure?

[librano]

Bald guys are game changers!

[BryanLunduke]

@librano BOOOSH

[sagadiablo]

Bryan, dude, why'd ya go skinheaded?

[readallen]

@sagadiablo MAY YOU PLEASE REPLY WITH YOUR BULLET POINTS SUMMARY ON WHY LINUX SUCKS ON THE DESKTOP, AND WHAT COULD FIX YOUR TALKING POINT?

[readallen]

sagadiablo, i was just trying to post a comment but it - Error, try again. so I wasn't directly replying to your comment, I was just asking a ? to the action show men.

[readallen]

@readallen SORRY ITS IN ALL CAPS I WAS TO LAZY TO PRESS THE BUTTON BUT, I WILL STOP now.

[BonScottAC]

@sagadiablo Bryan didn't go skinhead, skinheads went Bryan.

[BryanLunduke]

@BonScottAC Correct, sir!  Those skinheads are nothing but a bunch of johnny-come-lately's!

[randomrambled]

@sagadiablo Skinhead meth user...bad look

[dbaum23]

My sister and I had goats when we were kids to eat the weeds in the backyard. The backyard was big and on a hill so thats why we had them. Only problem was they would keep getting out of the fence and running away...

[DerekLun]

desktop linux does not suck...Try using windows or osx for a week and see how fast you come running back to linux.

[frvfilms]

bryan i had that idea before u!!!

[frvfilms]

bryan i had that idea before u!!!

[chris27011986]

there is something new on brian ... lost weight? no ... ???

[sharperguy]

That development platform sounds pretty cool. As far as open-sourcing it goes, I'd be quite hopeful that some open-source business would want to work with you on taking it further which could provide a way for you to make money from this.

[BryanLunduke]

@sharperguy That would be ideal! I would love to see this be 100% Open Source and available to everyone. I truly believe this is a big freaking deal. That said... I've got some ideas on licensing that I hope will allow me to fund the development while still moving in that direction.

[TheBoredSwede]

Symlinks <3

[Alek900]

Be careful with the goats, Google chrome might teleport them.

[rwese]

Chris is clipping like hard, again. :/

[rwese]

The only prob with brian's hair is he didn't shave so he looked like a one bad comic character.

[v0ks1]

@Bryan: you look like an evil bold Dragenball-Z master (PRETTY COOL)

[BryanLunduke]

@v0ks1 BOOOOSH

[luisetb]

Goats are the best natural lawnmowers they will keep the lam trimmed to ground level.

[LinuxUser4Life]

OMG! GROW BACK YOUR HAIR NOW!

[LinuxUser4Life]

@LinuxUser4Life no homo

[Doan84]

omg, where is your hair!?!?!?!

[BryanLunduke]

@Doan84 Forgot it at home!
