2012 is here, we kick it in the face, and tell you exactly what to expect all year long!

PLUS: We’ll play back our predictions from 2011, and man up to what we got wrong! HINT: NOT MUCH!

THEN: Rumor has it an Ubuntu TV is on the way, but is it all blown out of proportion? Tune in to find out!

And so much more!

All this week on, The Linux Action Show!

Tether by ClockworkMod – Tested on Ubuntu 10.10 reports of issues on 11.04 but results vary! Get it before it’s pulled!
Android Picks so far thanks to Madjo in the IRC Chat room!

Want LAS to take a look at Cinnamon Desktop? Let us KNOW!

Google TV will make a comeback.
Google TV will then become just as irrelevant by the end of 2012 as it was at the end of 2011.
Google will release Android 5.0 with a whole new UI.
We will all still be using X11 (and not Wayland) by years end.
Windows Phone 7 sales will be incredibly slow, causing Nokia to come up with a new strategy. There will be much laughter.
The Raspberry Pi will become available and sell out faster than they can make them.
Mint will continue to gain popularity… then suddenly drop down significantly (mirroring PCLinuxOS’s rise and fall in user share).
Intel will start (or join) another new Linux distro (forgetting about Moblin, Meego and Tizen).
Redhat will make more money and Fedora will continue to lose market-share.
Canonical will transition away from the desktop. Ubuntu desktop will live on, but receive less love. We will complain much.
btrfs will become the default FS on popular Linux distros. Fedora will ship with a major btrfs bug that gets Chris or Bryan really worked up. OMG!
In a defense to Mint’s growth, and to directly appease The Linux Action Show, Ubuntu 12.04 will be GREAT!
Oracle will start the year strong, but by the end of 2012 will be reduced back to their core strengths.
The Linux Action Show will read a mirage proposal on air, between two Linux geeks. But email it to angela@jupiterbroadcasting.com SO WE SEE IT!
