Hey people, I am starting a new Peertube channel (yeah, exclusively on Peertube) called: Linux Usability Test, or LUT. I test Linux distributions in a more objective way and give them a score. I look at file support, theme support, apps support and settings support.
Here is the first video - > videos.trom.tf/w/rVbS33bfaDRxy…
You can subscribe to my channel here videos.trom.tf/c/lut/videos or follow via lut@videos.trom.tf
Please share if you think it is relevant. I have more videos that I've done and I will publish soon!
LUT: Ubuntu 22.04 (bad)
Linux Usability Test Today we test Ubuntu 22.04 to see how usable it is. And it seems not very...videos.trom.tf

I see you've got Nuclear open in the software app; what are your thoughts on it? I found it very resource heavy and after reading some of the resources provided concluded that the developer really doesn't care what the community thinks. Looked nice, though.

in reply to Tio • • •Hm, interesting. That wasn't my experience; I remember it using 10% of my CPU when idle in the background.
Maybe I'll take a look, but we'll see now that I have all my music as local files.

in reply to Tio • • •True, that is nice. I may take a look at it if I ever feel the need to stream music again.
For music playing of local files, I'm really loving Amberol; nice and minimal with a very straightforward and beautiful UI.

in reply to Tio • • •Those are not really objective measurements though. You give 40 points out of 120 to supporting flatpaks and appimages, 20 to support 4 (randomly chosen?) rare apps; that's already half of the points.
The settings you chose to highlight are also very much based on your personal experience.
Gestures are more important than keyboard shortcuts? Theming is much more important than window management?
I don't think there can be such objective measurements though, everyone has their own favourite workflows.
So it is OK to use your favorite measurements of an OS's functionality, just don't call that objective :)

in reply to Liwott • •haha why am I not surprised you disagree. I think you made a hobby out of trying to disagree with me. But you are stretching it too much now.
No, it is 20 points. 10 points each.
That's the overall support for more apps, not just those apps. So yeah that's 40 in total for appimages, flatpaks, and rare apps. That means, without the support for these, you get a very limited apps library, which is an important and objective measurement. If you have access to only say 50% of all Linux apps out there (tho is less than that) via the Software Center, then that's really an objectively bad setup of a distro.
... Show more...I mentioned that this is more subjective, but still support for your hardware should be included. The mouse/touchpad or webcam, are hardware that everyone uses. Even RGB lights.

Every OS, from my knowledge, supports keyboard shortcuts. So why look for that? I am looking to see if they expanded beyond the basics. Both are important, but most distros do not provide support for gestures.
No idea what you mean here....
This is beyond workflow. It is about supporting files, apps, theming, and settings. Quite objective, despite your objection.
You should really try not to make your passion of disagreeing with everything I say, especially when you don't pay very close attention to what I am saying and nitpick every little detail, to in the end not achieving much more than a long conversation on the fediverse that usually goes in circles. And I do not feel any guilt at driving it in such an elliptical direction, but you are starting these.
So please find different hobbies because this is becoming a bit uncomfortable especially since you usually do not say much, just disagree. Like in the above example.
EDIT: And I do not want to be a jerk with you, but you really seem like someone who mainly tries to disagree by all means. This "disagreement" on this post, showcases that. You nitpicked some random stuff just to say "this is not objective", and not even pay attention to how many points I give, or what is my argument of why I chose to look at those things and not other. I explain in the video quite well my decisions. So please, if you disagree, think 5 times before writing, so that we don't spend time dancing on the fediverse in the comments section.
