About this episode

May discusses her experiences with various Linux distributions and tools.

May has actually been using her stack of laptops and learning that “legacy” distros make more sense, the Firefox flatpak performs better than other packages, Linux Mint is a fine distro, Linux has the best calculators, and GNOME’s scaling is really good now.             Support us on Patreon and get an ad-free RSS feed with early episodes sometimes         See our contact page for ways to get in touch.
