Linux After Dark – Episode 107

Play

We’ve done various challenges in the past where we’ve bought Linux machines on a seriously low budget, but what if we had an unlimited budget? What would we buy in this hypothetical situation? It turns out we all struggled to come up with anything and are pretty satisfied with the machines we already have.

 

Note that this episode was recorded before we found out that Framework supports problematic projects.
