Came over after the sunsetting of “self hosted” another podcast by the same team, and have been a weekly listener since! These guys are the best and have helped me discover some incredible projects!

This show does deep dives on Linux topics that you can try at home. It’s not just a Linux news show.

Makes me feel dumber

The most original and professional Linux podcast. Week after week the hosts create truly original content that is not only fascinating but can inspire your work, play, and career. If you want a rehash of the latest Linux blog posts this is not for you. There are other podcasts for that. If you want to experience a welcoming and diverse community where you will learn the best of what open-source has to offer then this is your show. The hosts devise original projects that you can try out at home and work, they come up with fun "challenges" (e.g. One week using only TUI apps) where you will learn something useful, they interview important innovators and leaders in the community, they travel to and report from major Linux community events, they share software they create and picks they find; everything you could possibly desire from a tech podcast. The technical production is professional. It sounds great. Segments flow seamlessly. There is perfect chemistry among the long time friends who are the hosts. They each bringing their distinct strengths and backgrounds (an IT Pro, a former physicist now developer, a creative/marketer/free-spirit) to discussions which involves a live participating audience on matrix text chat and voice Mumble. Amazingly they do all of this sustained mostly by user donations and memberships. Though I would say to potential commercial sponsors: you really have to talk the hosts. There is so much potential for where this show and community could go next with more commercial support! Highly recommend to anyone interested in science and technology.

Just playing dumb Chris? You known full well Stallman was canceled because of a campaign by an nobody SJW, getting him kicked out of MIT and the FSF by leftist trash and spineless college admins for expressing an opinion she was too dumb or dishonest to understand . A “social contract” for GNU? More leftist drivel? I don’t think so, Stallman isn’t an idiot. Tired of your ignorant leftist opinions. Try destination linux and all their shows, no politics from democrat trash.

Rename show to Nix Unplugged

Not sure if this has always been the case and I just realized it, or this show has recently started being pure sales pitch/was acquired and restructured.

I've listened to most shows Jupiter Broadcasting has done but now that self hosted is over, I've decided linux unplugged and the rest of the shows are no longer for me. There are two main reasons. First is the crypto currency stuff. I'm not interested and it's slowly become a bigger and bigger part of the show. It's great that people are supporting and if that's how the listeners want to do it and like hearing it talked about for a huge chunck of the episodes, fine. It just isn't for me. The second thing is Chris is so optimistic that I find him an unreliable source. I love hearing some excited about new projects and open sourse in general but I've lost count of the number of times I've checked out something he's said is the best, better than the proprietary options and other open source options, but when I try it, the project seems a few years behind what I'm currently using. The more honest take is usually that the project has a lot of promise and can be used now if you want to put in a fair bit more effort to get it setup and don't mind losing a bunch of features. So basically i just don't trust his assessment anymore and am tired of listening to talk about bitcoin.

This used to be the premiere Linux podcast but you can’t listen to the show without being hit up for money during the whole show. You can’t contact them without being told to boost in. Half the show is all about sending boosts in. It’s pretty annoying. Some shows on the network will shame the listeners for not boosting in. The listeners are made to feel bad when the show, coder radio for example, doesn’t get boosted enough. I like the non boost content but that’s getting less and less to make room for boosting. I get it, podcasts aren’t money makers anymore, but come on…

They're a bunch of Flake shills, but i’ll allow it.

s/Linux unplugged/NixOS unplugged/g

I’ve really tried to watch the JB crew and am a regular Self-Hosted listener until I can find other shows on the subject. Simply put, the show’s becoming more and more insufferable. There’s either constant begging for viewer bitcoin donations, heavily shilling for advertisers, and worst of all: constant attempts to exploit the spirit of the open source and linux communities to do their little projects for them that they come up with and forget about within the span of 3 minutes on the show. There’s very little substantive talk, even in their shows that are meant to be substantive. My opinion is that these guys have been doing this for so long, have their views heightened by a feedback loop of a group of people they call a community, and as a result think a lot of what they do is good content. It’s not. There’s a reason why everyone’s shocked you’ve been doing this since 2011, because it feels like a set of shows only started 4 years ago at most. There are a lot of great smaller shows in and around Linux, at least we know a little better in our computing communities to explore options.

The best info on the rising stars on the bleeding edge of open source

I enjoy the discussions and topics had on this podcast but I wish they would cover Debian more often. Debian doesn’t get nearly the coverage or respect that it deserves on this show.

My favorite podcast out there!

I heard about this show from my 7th grade math teacher and have been loving it since (I’m now a senior in hs). This show is a great source of FOSS news and general Linux news. I enjoy also hearing about mac and windows news.

I’m a random kid from Denver, see you next Tuesday!

Great podcast, I love hearing their picks every episode.

I’ve been listening for years and support the network via Patreon. A great community and interesting topics!

Great show focused on Linux and the community. I’ve been listening to LUP and Jupiter Broadcasting since early 2015 and wasn’t really a big fan of the changes made under Linux Academy and A Cloud Guru. It’s refreshing to see JB independent again!

No longer beholden to corporate overlords!

I’ve been listening to some of the Jupiter Broadcasting podcasts for several years now. It’s always been a good companion for me as a Linux User (pun intended, now called “The New Show”) when doing chores or any distracted moments in my day. I like specially to listen to it when commuting in the mornings to my work. I think this is is a great group of Linux advocates that are not far into the most dogmatic open source ideas, but more like talking from a practical perspective of a Linux/Open source enthusiast, something that I really appreciate. I like them, they are like good friends of mine now!

:)

An Apple using friend of mine tried to scare me about the drovorub malware. It probably doesn’t effect me, but I wanted these experts to tell me about it.

The first few episodes were good when the hosts talked about cool things happening in Linux and open source. Lately it seems to have to devolved into fanboyism with an obligatory Apple/Microsoft bashing section every episode. I don’t listen to a Linux podcast to hear about Apple and Microsoft. I want to know what cool things are happening in open source.

Just like the teenage girls who read Tiger Beat, the hosts like to tell you this program or Linux feature is cool and they love it without telling you why they love it or is cool. Their technical knowledge of Linux is limited to containers, ZFS and rust which they love to promote almost every episode without ever mentioning any downsides. Even though ZFS is experimental on many distributions and repeatedly bites them in the butt they still love it anyway even though mature tools such as rdiff-backup can achieve the same features on stable file systems like ext4. They have zero understanding of the free software movement and the importance of keeping free software free. They always advocate for the most bloated, resource hog solution without any understanding of minimalist Linux distributions like OpenWrt on WiFi routers or Gentoo. They ignore important hardware manufactures like GL.inet and Shuttle who ship systems with Linux pre-installed and instead promote vendors who ship them samples. Only entertaining if you enjoy listening to teenage girls talk about their favorite actor or pop star.

I enjoy the content and personalities on this show. Chris has become better with age. The content isn’t always relevant to me, but I rarely skip an episode.

I’ve been a fan for years. Keep up the good work Chris, Wes and the rest of the team. Best Linux Podcast, IMHO.

Great information!!

This is the podcast for you. Fun, informative, and usually inspiring to get me to try or learn something new.

I really wanted a hint about how to run in ram. I also wanted to know how to run all three platforms. It’s like you are reading my mind and addressing it in the podcast, this is the third time I am playing the podcast all the way through

If you like wacky DJ voices and your local Morning Zoo radio show antics you'll love this show. Chris you’re killing your baby and I just can’t listen to any show you’re on anymore. JB used to be my goto for Linux/Tech podcasts especially shows like LUP, but I just can’t anymore. Today was the last straw. I tried to listen to LUP ep297 today and got to about the 19:37 mark and it was the last straw. I stopped what I was doing, deleted the podcast and hit unsubscribe. I’ll may continue to listen to any show Chris or Wes aren’t on, but I don’t know. They are better places to get current Linux/tech news that don’t include the Morning zoo wacky dj bs. With regrets I will not be returning “Next Tuuueeesdaayyyy” or anytime soon.

Love love love the brilliant personalities and LUG which talk throughout the podcast, but I don’t listen because I can never tell if he’s selling something via advertisement or just saying he loves something.

I love how Jupiter Broadcasting has shifted this show to cover the community. I can't tell you how many new applications I have come to use thanks to this show.

I like this show.

Keep up the good word! And where had you been all my life? 😪

I stumbled upon Linux Unplugged by hearing a vague reference to it in another Linux focus podcast. I learn something new every week l. The show is current and discusses relevant topics in the Linux community. Great Show!!!

This show is a rehash of Linux action show and there's no new content at all. I think the only reason Chris does this show is to sell more ad space

Chris and Matt are great. These guys are able to take current topics and provide insight that is valuable to real world Linux users. They do it with enthusiasm and make it enjoyable. Linux Unplugged let's members of the community participate in a Mumble chat during the taping of the show. This provides insight from other prominent members of the Linux community that you don't find on other podcasts. The combination of Linux Action Show and Linux Unplugged will fill all your Linux desires. Keep it going guys!

Casual, yet technical discourse about current events/matters in the linux community. Often has interesting people in the mumble room; in one episode a guy from canonical randomly showed up, it’s really neat and unexpected!

Can't get enough of Jupiter Broadcasting's coverage of Linux on the Action Show, so this is great to have because it's more! MORE!

Latest Linux/FOSS Desktop & Server News by truly tech competent hosts. Heavy on the news and technical underpinnings, but not a 'how to' nor tutorial show. Just the way I like it.

Linux unplugged Is a great companion to Linux Action Show Sundays Noon eastern time USA.

Great geek commuter companion! Love the bits on Star Trek as well!

I love this show! Chis and Matt take a no-holds-barred approach to discussing Linux and the ecosystem around Just like it's more established cousin, The Linux Action Show, it really is an unbiased, well thought out, professional, and balanced look at our favorite operating system. I honestly wasn't sure if I'd like this show in the beginning. I thought 'this is going to be one of those 'afterthought' shows that will be amazingly, mindnumbingly boring'. Wow! Was I surprised! It's not become my second (if I can even rank them all) favorite JB show out there. Give this show a chance, you will love it!

I nice relaxed format to discuss the linux ecosystem and fans able to add to the conversation. Thank you JB!

This really hits the spot if you just need more LAS. If you like professional quality podcasts with a relaxed format and want more linux; this is a show for you.

This show is social experience put on by some of the most well informed, up to date, intelligent folks out there. It is more than worth while to listen to the podcast, and even better to join in live if you can! I highly suggest this podcast!

Excellent podcast to further explore topics from the Linux Action Show!

Chris & Matt really dig into topics that wouldn't fit into the Linux action show format. love the discussions with the Chatroom. Keep it up!
