We are three Blokes who love Linux and trying out new stuff, we thought it would be interesting to share our experience of trying new Linux and BSD distributions and how we found it trying to live with them as our daily driver for up to a Month at a time, by recording a podcast about how we got on.

...wherein we discuss what we did this month…
Moss - School is out, so I’m not working or interacting with much of anyone, although we did have two visitors this month (two more than most months). My mother’s house got sold, so most of this month has been waiting on pins and needles for the estate to start making disbursements.......More

...wherein we discuss what we did this month…
Moss - I’ve been trying to get by, and it has gotten difficult enough to do that I’ve resigned from mintCast. I have been recording Full Circle Weekly News for over a month now, and this podcast and that one shouldn’t be too much for me to do. My mother’s estate is nearly settled, now that her house is pending sale. I spent as many days as I could as a substitute teacher in the local schools, but the school term has ended. So I have time on my hands, at least until school starts up again on August 4th. And I finally got physical therapy reordered for my still-damaged shoulder. More......

...wherein we discuss what we did this month…
Moss - I’ve been pretty busy this month, installing lots of distros, to the point where I had to save one for next month’s show. I’ve also been trying to figure out more creative uses for the Yubikey I was given by listener Firecat. I put my stimulus money to use, buying two 128 Gb USB 3.2 sticks from Silicon Power and made one into a Super Ventoy Stick, featuring the most current version of just about every distro I’ve ever used....More

MONTHLY FOIBLES ...wherein we discuss what did and didn’t work for us this month…
Moss -
I have gotten comments about my tendency to delete some programs,
including LibreOffice, immediately after installation. To me, it makes
sense to do it before you run the updates, because some of those
programs, especially LibreOffice, are quite large and
take up quite a bit of time and space in the updates, and if you remove
them first, they don’t update. I know Chris Fisher has mentioned he
doesn’t use any office. If you are like that, you may also want to
remove CUPS prior to doing updates - or just run
Bodhi, which leaves the printing package out altogether. Other things
to consider removing include Thunderbird -- again, if you don’t use it. sudo apt-get purge packagename* is all you need....More
