  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!

  31 – Linux Will Bend You To It’s Will!

  Bill records the show using Arch, Leo advocates for the virtues of atomic distros, and Majid wants to build a NAS, or perhaps just buy one. All of this and so much more!

  29 – Endeavour to Fail

  This week we start out on Majid's not so great experience with Endeavour OS. This spirals out of control into a back and forth with Bill dying on the Arch Linux hill. We have discussions about Snaps, Flatpaks, Atomic Desktops, and a whole lot more!

  26 – Kool Runnings

  Bill, Leo, and Majid get into first impressions of KDE Plasma 6. That conversation. We talk a little about the best (in our opinion) launchers for Linux desktops. We talk a little about our memories of Windows Vista, 7, and 8. Leo, and Majid hash it out over touchpad gestures. We get into an article on OMG Ubuntu about UXPlay, a tool for mirroring iOS on Linux. Bill talks a little about Xbox cloud gaming. We round it all off talking about music streaming platforms. All of this and lots more!

  25 – Corporate Shills

  Just Bill and Majid this go-around. This week we get into a little bit of what has inevitably brought us back to stable distros. What we make of things like Arch and Manjaro. This all leads to a hypothetical discussion about packaging formats and big business. These things, and a whole lot more!
