At CyberGizmo, I aim to give back to the community by sharing my knowledge on Linux, open source software, and related technology. I provide tutorials, insights, and in-depth reviews of Linux distributions, kernels, and other tools to help users make informed decisions.
I prioritize honesty, transparency, and unbiased content. My reviews are based on personal experiences, and I maintain full editorial independence. While I do occasionally work directly with brands, sponsorships never influence my opinions.
I value open dialogue and am committed to engaging respectfully with my audience. Thank you for supporting my mission to deliver high-quality, reliable content.

Here’s a bit from the original 1998 Netscape Public License (NPL) (before Mozilla rewrote parts of it later):
“You may modify the source code, but Netscape retains the right to incorporate your changes into their own version without compensation.”
AND (this is the kicker):
“You may not use the Netscape trademarks, brand names, logos, or confusingly similar names without prior written permission.”
Yeah saving things from years ago is great material for humor. Which basically meant if you fork it without using their brand name, you are not allowed to compete with Netscape without written permission?

During the making of the video on Easy vs Hardcore Linux distros, I was using Proxmox to host the distros I was considering, there have been a number of enhancements Fedora is making to virt-viewer and in particular SPICE. I noticed some distros were extremely fast and responsive (mouse and text inputs). However some of them were sluggish, in checking futher it looks like the Wayland based DEs were doing great while the X11 based DEs were struggling...have you noticed this behavior in other X11 based apps?
