There will be music. I'm at GAFilk, the Georgia Filk Convention. This is my 9th year. I wouldn't have made it this year but for my old friend, Blind Lemming Chiffon, who is paying the hotel bill for my wife and I. No better way to start a year than with music and friends... and my triple-boot Kudu 3... There will be video resulting from this, to be found on my YouTube page. Such video will not show the Kudu.

I also need to learn Portage to update Calculate. And somehow it didn't set my login with access to sudo.

I installed Calculate Linux. It wasn't difficult but there were a lot more options than I'm used to dealing with. I installed the LXQt version. for some reason the desktop icons are easier to set in the live than in the installed version. I'll need to check with their forums tomorrow. But it looks really good!

So... Should I install Calculate Linux or take the easy path and go with FerenOS?

Happy ChrisYulKwanzukkah everyone! I've got one more podcast this year, with the mintCast team.

An old friend ordered me a couple 256Gb SSDs. Amazon goofed and sent me a box of 10 of them. I'm working to incorporate them into my spinning metal life. Lexar N100...

I have seen since podcast recommendations here. Please don't forget mintCast or Distrohoppers' Digest.

Looking for something different? Distrohoppers' Digest Episode 007 is out, with reviews of OpenMandriva Lx 4 and MX Linux 19, by a couple of old guys who have never been computer professionals. We love Linux, and we're doing this for FUN! distrohoppersdigest.blogspot.c

Episode 7 of Distrohoppers' Digest will be recorded this coming Wednesday, October 30, and should be available at podcatchers on Friday Nov. 1. November will be a long month for a variety of reasons, and we will record Episode 8 on my birthday, December 4.

I recently came into a Galago Pro (2, I think), and have just arranged to acquire a Kudu3 in an equipment swap. A bit of counting chickens here, but I never thought I'd have the money or luck to own a System76 machine and now I'm going to have two of them!

I just posted an AccuNAS AN6L+B for sale on eBay if anyone is interested. Fully populated with 1 Hitachi 1Tb drive, 4 Samsung 1 Tb drives and 1 Seagate 2 Tb drive. Hasn't been used since the owner died (bequeathed it to me) 5 years ago. I'm looking for a really good 17" laptop, Lenovo or Dell. Make offer.

Our latest episode is out now, go take a listen to Tony and Moss discussing OpenSUSE Tumbleweed and Q4OS distrohoppersdigest.blogspot.c

I downloaded a free PDF file of the Raspberry Pi The Complete Manual. Hope to get some use of it. Sure beats $14.99 at Books-A-Million.

At the time I bought my X4, I needed a more powerful phone for my Uber driving. The ability to run an alternate operating system was not at the top of my list. And it will be quite a while before I have the money to buy another phone.

Distrohoppers' Digest Episode 005 is over 200 downloads only 10 days after release, and episode 004 is almost to 400. We have no backing or advertising and just started this ourselves. Please pass this around. Linux is Fun! feeds.feedburner.com/blogspot/

We all know that Google (with Chrome-ium) has at least close to 90% of the browser marketshare on the internet.

Which is your primary browser on your computer?

Remember that Brave, Opera and Edge are Chromium derivatives. I consider Safari to be separate since it's Webkit and not Blink.

Retoot this to get more votes in.
