[kwlug-disc] Topics for an upcoming presentation

[Jason]

Python or Go intro would be good, but there are lots of online tutorials to
get you started.

Some other ideas:

Someone wants to go into the current state of Wayland and/or Linux Gaming,
that would be cool.  Lots of stuff just works now with Proton, Lutris, and
Steam.  I think we looked at Bottles a while ago, but not sure where some
of the projects are.  I've been able to get most games on Steam, Epic Game
Launcher, Battle.net launcher to work.


I'd love to see a comparison of different notes taking and knowledge base
apps.  Particularly the free, open source solutions that can be self
hosted, with less of a rug pull potential.  Most people are using Notion or
Obsidian, but neither of those are open source.  I do like the Markdown
standard.  I was going to check out Joplin and Colanode.

Blogging/Web platforms would also be cool. Not sure what the current state
of WordPress is since all the recent hubub with WP-Engine, but I feel a
need to get off it before the guy in charge does more stupid stuff.  Been
looking at Hugo and Ghost as alternatives.

For small project development, Coolify also looks pretty neat, and people
might be interested in an overview.

Anyways, just some ideas.

Jason
