LINUX INNARDS
Jason van Gumster
- Tell us who you are and why we wanted you here.
- What was your first Linux experience?
- What was the very first Linux distro you ran?
- What’s a typical workflow for you entail?
- Why/Why not Linux Mint?
- Does Linux do everything you need in a system?
- Do you do any Linux Gaming?
- What was your motivation for writing books about Blender?
- Is it something you just fell into or someone asked you to do?
- How long had you been a user before writing?
- Who published it and how did you connect?
- Blender is hard (as is most of 3D)… what’s the easiest way to get started with it?
- Is there any piece of Linux and open source software, other than a browser, you could not live without?
- Other things that might be fun to talk about:
- Video editing?
- Getting more artists/creatives to use Linux
- https://blenderartists.org/top
- 3D printing in general
- Animation… both the production of it and enjoying watching it
- I will totally nerd off about version control (and why creatives should use it, too… not just programmers) if you’re not careful
- Preference on version control tools
- Writing books on and about Linux and OSS
Listener question (Joussef Jouda): My question is: The animation playback in viewport in Blender is slow. What is your workaround to view it in realtime?
Follow up: Have you tried Eevee in Blender?
