  • In Berlin there is a hybrid firetruck currently in use and the firefighter are really happy with it, only using the battery for about 90% of operations. Here is an English article about it (German ones are much more in depth):

    It is not mentioned in that article, but the firefighters really like the silence of the firetrucks. They didn’t need to yell as much and could therefore communicate much more efficiently.

  • If you into city building and realtime strategy Widelands might be of interest for you. It is an open source game inspired by the Settlers II, but with much more depth and with online play. It is really freaking cool and you can play it for over 6h. It is installable via Discover on the desktop.

  • What fascinates the most about desktop Linux and gaming on Linux is that all of that was achieved with limited funding compared to the Microsoft ecosystem. Imagine what could be possible with more market share and more companies investing in the space. The current state is already great, but I believe we are just getting started.

  • The problem is: The larger the usage of RHEL inside a company the more likely they do not need the support anymore, because they can have your own department do it instead. So those companies don't pay for bug fixes or general Linux development, which is a problem. If you want a healthy Linux ecosystem large companies need to pay the maintainers! I don't care if they do it through Redhat or directly.
