The IT Guy Show

The Linux desktop is changing...fast.
This week, I’m joined by Brodie Robertson to talk about the display server drama of the decade: the end of X11 and the rise of Wayland.

We dig into:
🖥️ The weird, wonderful history of X11
⚙️ Why Wayland is different (and sometimes frustrating)
🎮 What it means for gaming, streaming, and remote desktops

What happens when two nerds who love the community side of tech get together? A whole lot of stories, laughs, and insights.

This week, I sit down with #ChrisDeMars to talk all things Developer Relations - from open source to on-stage nerves. We dig into what it really takes to support and empower developers in today's fast-moving ecosystem.
