Issue 32 is the last issue of Linux Voice as a stand-alone magazine as we have joined Linux Magazine. This newly merged magazine will bring the best bits of Linux Voice and Linux Magazine together into a single volume. All four of us Linux Voice founders will still be here contributing to the newly merged magazine – you'll find us in the aptly named Linux Voice section. We'll continue to write about the things that excite us in the world of open source software and we'll continue making our popular podcast.

Now that we're free of the day-to-day work of running the business, we can focus again on great technology. As well as us four, we're working with Linux Magazine to keep bringing great content to the Linux-using world, and this includes former contributors to Linux Voice.

The first issue of Linux Magazine done in tandem with Linux Voice (issue 193) is on its way to subscribers now and will be available in newsagents from 29th October 2016.

We're sure you've got a lot of questions, and we've tried to anticipate the most common ones below."

    Back in the day (the '90s and early '00s to be specific), I used to read boot (which eventually became Maximum PC), and PC Gamer. I haven't read either in years, mostly because there's little point now. Back then, they were useful for reviews and such. Now, with the speed of the web, that stuff is available on many sites instantaneously, while the magazines are still printing three to six month old information. I suspect that may play in with Linux magazines as well.

    Agree. I used to buy various Linux magazines for the disc: I was on dialup. Now, if I want to check out a distro, I download (although my distro hopping days are gone for the foreseeable future.... no fracking time (Hulk sad))

    Only a few years ago Linux Journal was in the stands at local grocery markets and in the same issue was not only an interview with Guido but step-by-step instructions of how to build a Twitter bot. Back before Twitter was even famous.

      And so it came to pass.

      Rattling around the back of my head is a disturbing image of something I
      saw at the airport ... Now I'm remembering, those giant piles of computer
      magazines right next to "People" and "Time" in the airport store. Does
      it bother anyone else that half the world is being told all of our hard-won
      secrets of computer technology? Remember how all the lawyers cried foul
      when "How to Avoid Probate" was published? Are they taking no-fault
      insurance lying down? No way! But at the current rate it won't be long
      before there are stacks of the "Transactions on Information Theory" at the
      A&P checkout counters. Who's going to be impressed with us electrical
      engineers then? Are we, as the saying goes, giving away the store?
