Episode 31: Control
After a citywide lockdown and earthquake in our beautiful city of Zagreb, this episode begins on a serious note. But it's a message intended to bring hope and positivity back into our lives during this unprecedented time in our history. And the discovery of the week aims to get everyone involved in the fight against coronavirus.

Episode 25: Helping Hands (with Ubuntu Budgie's Dustin Krysak)
Sometimes an interview opens new doors of perception. You're able to look at a situation from a completely fresh perspective, and gain insights you never considered were there. That describes my frank conversation with Ubuntu Budgie Team Member Dustin Krysak. It's an organic chat that covers a huge range of topics, from the struggles a smaller distribution faces and how donations are spent, to how the larger Ubuntu family offers support, to what it takes to truly take desktop Linux mainstream.
We close our interview with a fantastic exploration of how pretty much anyone can become a contributor and make a difference in the FOSS community.
PLUS: Your feedback about why we distro-hop!
