Episode 40: The Thunderbird Interview (featuring Ryan Sipes)
It's time for another interview episode, and what a guest I have for Episode 40! Ryan Sipes founded Mycroft AI, built a strong community for System76, and now he's wearing 3 different hats for the Thunderbird project. Ryan shares his hilarious Linux origin story, some great memories from System76, and talks about Thunderbird's past, present and future.
Along the way, of course we get sidetracked by talk of browser wars, favorite distros and sexy Linux hardware...
