  40 – ASUS of Theseus

  This week Majid and Bill talk about their PC builds - the good, bad and just plain wrong. Majid describes devolving from restoring old PC parts to literally building his "Ship of Theseus" from new parts. Installing Arch somehow becomes part of the conversation; everything from installing, to how packages are handled on the distro. We then talk about video editing. Evolution of the spoken language, and learning foreign languages sort of round out the show. All of this and so much more!

  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.
