Distro.tube is a site created by Derek Taylor (DT), creator of the DistroTube (DT) channel on YouTube and LBRY. I create videos about GNU/Linux, free software, open source software and related interests. This site is best viewed using the Gemini protocol using a Gemini browser such as Amfora (terminal-based client), Lagrange (GUI client) or using the Geminize plugin for Firefox.
Here are links to my videos hosted on Odysee (LBRY), a free and open source alternative to YouTube.
Here are some articles written by me that some may find useful. They are mostly Linux and software-related.
These are guest articles submitted by members of the community. The source of this site and all of its content is availble on my GitLab. Thus, anyone that wants to submit an article can do so with a pull request. Please, submit your articles in "gemtext" and not HTML or markdown.
This site uses a new Internet protocol called Gemini which can be seen as a middle ground between the old gopher protocol of the early 1990s and the modern web. Gemini attempts to address the weaknesses of gopher while avoiding the pitfalls of the web.
I have built this site (or "capsule") using Gemini in an effort to promote the project in the hope that more people will turn away from the dumpster fire that is the modern web. Gemini is plain text written in a markdown-like syntax. Links can only be written and displayed one per line (similar to gopher). There are no images, no video and no advertisements!
Gemini should be of particular interest to people who are:
If you want to help promote a simpler and more efficient alternative to the web, please consider making your next "web" site a Gemini capsule instead.
