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?
