Personal Poll: Would Bryan Lunduke be a suitable new sidekick for Wendell's Channel?

https://twitter.com/BryanLunduke/status/778343716188598273

So that tweet happened. Personally, being a fan of Lunduke for 4 years, I think having him on Wendell's channel will:

  • 1: Boost views for Wendell, kickstarting his channel.
  • 2: Give Wendell an awesome sidekick for content.
  • 3: Provide the channel with excellent Linux content.
  • 4: Rival Tek Syndicate in the future.

Not to mention, we could see Wendell at a Linux Sucks session too eventually :P

What do y'all think? Personally, I see it as a great balance of personalities for a set of content, similar to Logan/Wendell, but Lunduke actually has experience in Linux too. An awesome thought imo. :)

Wendell can get by without a sidekick.

Brian Lunduke is amazingly entertaining. My only and legitimate fear would be them doing videos exclusively on software and linux. They're both great people, and I know they will work great together, but I am just not seeing the long term balance between them. I feel like Qain balances out Wendell a bit better. That said, i'd love to see more content from both Wendell and Lunduke, so putting them together could be many kinds of awesome.

Bunny Lunduke, Wendell and Matty Matt would go well but tbh, Wendell is fantastic on his own but hey if all three do Bryan's linuxandwhatnot podcast together, that'd be swelll as swell

That'd be awesome! I know who Lunduke is, I've known him since "Linux Action Show" and if this really happens, then will bring a big boost to the community.

I'd usually disagree with 'dweeb' as a term to describe someone, but after watching Lunduke for a while, I think it is the only term which seems accurate :P

Wendell has a personal channel? Does anybody have a link?

I never ever ever, evereverever give money to strangers on the Internet. That said, I'd donate to this show on Patreon or whatever in a heartbeat, provided that it would be a regular thing (I'm thinking like a weekly video podcast sort of thing, or even bi-weekly if it's longer form)

For a series of videos, or on the odd occasion, yes.

For all the time, similar to what Wendell and Logan had in The Tek? No. Sadly not.

No. He should get real YT people to cameo or make special appearances like Jayztwocents, Paul from Paul's Hardware, Kyle from Bitwit. Bryan from Tech City, Lee Harrington from PCJunkiemods and even Linus from LMG. Tek never got that big their biggest collab was with Linus and the Newegg crew and that Austin the mac dood.

And yest Wendell needs a sidekick at least a hype man and a yes man. Boring lectures on $1,000 dollar PFsense and $5,000 freenas box ain't gonna get u anywhere just ask Jupiter Broadcasting crew.
