TuxJam 129 – Rusty Ruddy
from TuxJam MP3
Your hosts, Dave, Andrew Al, and Kevie are back for another round of FLOSSy software and creative commonsy tunes. As usual they start the show as usual by taking in a selection of recently released distros, linux or otherwise, from distrowatch. Have you ever needed to help a family member or friend by remoting into their device only to be met with proprietary software that sometimes accuses you of using it for business? Well, Andrew and Al take a look at RustDesk which offers an alternative built on open source software and that allows you to self-host its servers. Next up, Kevie and Dave take a look at Rudra. This is a keyboard driven launcher for GNOME shell described by its developers as “a modern, deeply integrated launcher designed to replace the default GNOME overview… Built for speed, minimalism, and deep customization.” We finish up by running through feedback received, conducting a reminiscence of the last podcrawl and looking forward to the next podcrawl at 6pm BST (5pm UTC) on Saturday the 11th of April. Also don’t forget that OggCamp 2026 is fast approaching – 25-26 April – and you’ll find 75% of TuxJam in attendance though arguably the best 25% will be absent 🙁 Tunes licensed under lovely Creative Commons type licenses played in this episode were: Harlan Hamblin – Let The Old Ghosts Fade Away Tercer Milenio – Algun Dia Joshua W – Rhyme Andi Komposa – Good Mood
