Topics include: Interviewing Richard Stallman, what can Windows or MacOS do that Linux can’t, Linux on an old Playstation 2, moving friends and co-workers to FOSS, ReactOS, best Desktop Environment for touch screens, fan control and battery usage under Linux, starting a new Linux-y career, a hypothetical about Stallman and Torvalds in a biker bar, and more Linux stuff!

What distro do you use?
On my office PC I use Ubuntu 17.10 with the stylish Pop! theme by System76.

On my Steam Machine I now run Ubuntu 16.04 with the Steam Compositor and nomodeswitch packages installed. (This is because later versions of Ubuntu have PIE enabled by default which prevents me from using Dolphin)
