Believe this is one of the few vendors left making and distributing Linux magazines still(?). Would be interesting to hear what peoples feedback on these are, whether its this one or another. Seems like a fun monthly delivery to get!

Used to buy these religiously every month about 15 years ago. They used to come with distros on a disc and I had pretty rubbish internet at the time so they were pretty handy for distro hopping.
They also did a really great podcast at that time too!
Glad to see they’re still going!
I loved Linux Voice back when it was still published. They had a series of articles on writing your own kernel in x86_64 ASM that I followed and ran on QEMU back when I was a philosophy student. It really cemented my interest in tech and now I do that for a living.
Edit: Linux Voice folded into Linux Format sometime around 10+ years ago
Yeah, I was following the Linux Voice team from when they launched their own magazine.
Kinda really read the mags because of the team trying to make it work, but it was (is?) good content.
Then they merged into Linux Format and my career kinda moved from OS stuff to Cyber stuff so I dropped away…
I never enjoyed Linux Format as much but neither magazine was all killer no filler.
I used to read them, they often had good in depth tutorials. The Format branding has been going for a long time, I can remember reading Amiga Format.
There were a few other Linux magazines as well, Linux User, Linux Magazine, Linux Voice. I think there’s still a Raspberry Pi magazine as well which covers a lot of Linux stuff.
I used to love magazines, with their coverdisks full of goodies.
But the internet banished them. I stopped buying once I realised I was reading things I’d already read about online 2 months ago…
Monthly print can’t really compete with instant.
Yep, that’s what’s killed them for me too. I like having a physical magazine, and I like reading about things that I might otherwise miss, but the news is always old, and the guides tend to be spread across several issues that cost upwards of £6 each.
Not to mention, they don’t have comment sections to provide context or tell you why it’s bullshit.
I wouldn’t get a magazine for news.
I still get paper thrasher for the pictures and the interviews for example. It’s not about latest and greatest.
Wish I could afford these…
It’s 2025. I wish I could afford food…
Damn right

Ah thank you
We have linux-magazine delivered to the office.
The articles are easy to read, I can’t remember having to look up background knowledge but I’ve been using Linux for decades now. The articles generally teach you something practical. I don’t read all of it but what I read I often like. Just lacks depth from time to time.
Most people don’t visit the office often I think, but it’s there. I tend to take some home and bring them back.
This looks retro somehow?
Probably just the design, this one is specific is the magainze release of April.
I haven’t in many years but I might start back up now that I’ve finally switched my PC
Doesn’t Ubuntu have SNAP? I’m not kosher about proprietary bullshit
It isn’t proprietary but it still sucks anyway
Luv magazines
