37 – Cinnamon and Stealing Hardware

This week we start off talking about Leo's latest episode of Linux User Space. In episode 5:02, Leo and Dan go over a history of the Cinnamon desktop, and how tightly it's tied to Linux Mint it's self. We then morphed into a conversation about Windows 8, Windows on the command line, and how Gnome 3 seemed to come along about the same time. Desktop design was the hot topic. We then moved on to the APT package manager, and the differences between it on Mint, and the rest of the Debian world. I could write more, but you'd spend more time reading this than you would listening to the show. We get into a lot of stuff.

  • 36 – Tenacious Turbans

    Bill, Leo, Majid, and Joe get together this week to talk about Audacity, Tenacity, Git, Redbox, media servers, and Majid's silly new phone.

    You're not going to believe this, but AI does come up in the conversation.

    All of this and so, so much more.

    And by the way, Leo was kidding - Tenacity definitely does not suck.

  • 35 – Suffer Engineers

    This week Eric, and Majid return, along with Leo and Joe to talk about Linux in schools, LLM's AI, the new XPS, and so much more. It was a blast!

  • 34 – The Audacity Of Reaper

    This week Eric and Bill get into a conversation about proprietary alternatives to opensource software. It starts with us describing how we've both begun using Reaper instead of Audacity for editing the audio for our shows.

    Let us know what your think. What, if any proprietary software are you using on Linux. Is it just enough that the developers make their software available on Linux? We'd love to know what you think.
