Linux For Everyone

Welcome to Episode 39! Schykle tells you about a Terminal app that's both eyecandy and super useful. Plus, a BUNCH of you emailed me with tips and suggestions about my Linux video editing situation and I've got an encouraging update!

But we're just getting warmed up! On the back half, Linux has a quality control problem and our community is going to solve it! Then I'll close it out with some candid thoughts about just how much the Fedora-powered ThinkPad P53 is spoiling me rotten.

It's time for another interview episode, and what a guest I have for Episode 40! Ryan Sipes founded Mycroft AI, built a strong community for System76, and now he's wearing 3 different hats for the Thunderbird project. Ryan shares his hilarious Linux origin story, some great memories from System76, and talks about Thunderbird's past, present and future.

Along the way, of course we get sidetracked by talk of browser wars, favorite distros and sexy Linux hardware...

Welcome back to the conclusion of my interview with System 76 Principal Engineer Jeremy Soller! In our 2nd hour, we cover everything from VR gaming to in-house laptops to the importance of firmware.

There's also a rather passionate rant about Audacity's now-infamous Pull Request #835.

Plus, a new Discovery of the Week, and a new rabbit hole: servers!

After Episode 43, it was time to have a serious discussion about the Linux community with my two favorite co-hosts. Linux + Coffee returns with both Schykle and Matt and the topic is a serious one: Gatekeeping, tribalism and toxicity in the Linux community. Why does it happen, and HOW do we deal with it?

It's a thought-provoking conversation and we hope you enjoy it.

Special Guests: MattDLN and Schykle (aka Alan Diggs).

Hey Everyone,
We received a health update from Jason. It turns out he has a severe form of pneumonia called Legionnaires' disease, from a nasty type of bacteria called Legionella, typically found in pools, spas or AC.

Jason will be in the hospital for the next several days fighting this. And beating it. He thanks each and every one of you for the kind words and support you have shown, its a big morale boost for him.

We wish him a speedy recovery and to be back on our podcast feeds soon.

Special Guest: Michael Tunnell.
