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!

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.
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.
Not to mention, they don't have comment sections to provide context or tell you why it's bullshit.
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.
