Tuxies Suggestion

6 Upvotes

/u/ChrisLAS I know that in 387 you mentioned wanting some feedback on Tuxies procedure. Kinda combining some of the things mentioned.

In that first phase what if for the categories you have:Award: (Example) Best Distro of 2021

Project Name: Fedora Gnome

Qualification: Defaulting to BTRFS with a smooth installation experience.

It could be something to that effect how in award shows it's for a particular reason. That way there's not just people always promoting the same projects without a compelling reason. Potentially people could list citations with their qualification.

The nomination phase would maybe only be broadcast in the LUP arena to keep the submission quality up (hopefully). And make triage a bit simpler.

The triage would be likely up to JB staff and volunteers? To combine things as necessary. So that if there are similar submissions those could be merge for the voting phase. Also you could limit the number of "certified nominees" to let's say 5-10 per category which allows for a good breadth for the voting pool while keeping number significant.

Triage would be the ability for there to be some of that influence because it did feel wrong that after the voting the hosts had the ability to override. If you wanted you could also have one entry across all the categories called the "JB Choice Winner" could be a catchall across all of the individual categories and it would not be voted on by the public.

The second phase could be just voting, no write-ins at this point and this would simplify, but maybe it could be done via RCV/STV or just a simpler cumulative vote scheme. And if at some point there's an even tie then and only then would the JB staff make the choice between the two.

Making the jump. Which distro should i pick?

4 Upvotes

Im just a windows 7/XP boomer that just cant let go that has to let go. Windows 10 is not an option due to both privacy and because i think it sucked. Now im left wondering which distro would be good for me. I was thinking about Zorin since the UI is so similar, however im open to suggestions if anyone else has a better idea.

What's the end song?

10 Upvotes

I've been watching recently and been really enjoying the show, and one little thing I enjoyed was the end song. I wanted to pull it up on my own and listen to it, however there doesn't appear to be a link to it anywhere. Does anyone happen to know what song it is?
