In this episode of Linux Out Loud, Matt takes squad leader role while Wendy and Nate rejoin the party for a high‑FPS catch‑up on life, Linux, and loud gaming sessions. They swap updates on Wendy's robotics teams heading deeper into competition season, Nate's battle with basement water and building a proper home lab spawn point, and Matt's quest to keep a local‑only media server running on modest hardware. From organizing racks and labeling gear to wrestling with Starlink latency and debating cloud gaming versus real ownership, the crew dives into how their real‑world chaos shapes the way they run Linux, host services, and play games. If you like robots, home labs, and arguing about whether you really own your digital library, this one's for you.

Neste episódio do Diocast, propomos uma conversa leve, divertida e cheia de informação sobre os ambientes gráficos que usamos no Linux. E para deixar o papo mais interessante, vamos usar uma mecânica inspirada no clássico jogo batalha naval! Cada participante terá a missão de revelar suas preferências, manias, e até críticas sobre o ambiente gráfico que utiliza.Quais são as primeiras configurações que eles fazem logo após instalar o sistema? Existe alguma extensão que eles sempre recomendam? Qual programa faz parte do pacote e eles indicam de olhos fechados? E, claro, qual recurso eles preferiam ver desaparecer do mapa?A proposta da nossa batalha naval de ambientes desktop não é escolher um "vencedor", mas sim trocar experiências e mostrar as possibilidades que cada ambiente oferece. Vamos falar sobre pontos fortes, pontos fracos e pequenos ajustes que fazem toda a diferença no dia a dia — inclusive aquelas manias pessoais que cada um desenvolve para deixar o sistema “do seu jeito”.Se você já usa Linux, vai se identificar com algumas situações e talvez até descobrir dicas novas. Se ainda está explorando esse universo, vai entender melhor como funcionam os ambientes gráficos e qual deles pode combinar mais com o seu estilo de uso.Tudo isso embalado na vibe de “batalha naval”, com direito a alvos, manobras e até torpedos de opinião. A cada resposta, vamos citar exemplos práticos, configurações e indicar extensões que utilizamos em nossas rotinas.Então prepare-se para essa batalha naval divertida — sem explosões de verdade, mas com muitas opiniões sinceras, dicas valiosas e aquela leveza que você já está habituado no Diocast. Dê o play, participe nos comentários e conte pra gente: o que você afundaria no seu desktop favorito?Este episódio é o último na temporada 9 do Diocast, agora vamos entrar em um pequeno recesso e voltamos em breve! Esperamos que aproveite o vídeo e quem sabe, saia dele com ideias novas para deixar seu ambiente Linux ainda melhor!---https://diolinux.com.br/podcast/batalha-naval-no-desktop-linux.html

In this episode of Linux Out Loud, we explore the latest in Linux hardware experiments, distro discoveries, and creative workflows. Wendy walks through her setup with Fedora 41 and DaVinci Resolve, Matt dives into Windows frustrations, and Nate teases his excitement about trying out Bazzite, even before getting hands-on with the OneXPlayer. We chat about eGPU setups, Wayland oddities, 3D printer troubleshooting with Mainsail and NGINX, and highlight the unique challenges (and wins) of gaming on Linux—like Dark Envoy. It's a lively mix of tech insights, problem-solving, and distro excitement—all wrapped in open-source goodness.
