Late Night Linux – Episode 399

Shownotes

Guest hosts Chris (fosstodon.org/@GreenSysAdmin@mastodon.social) from Linux After Dark (linuxafterdark.net) and Sean (techhub.social/@SNThrailkill) from Hybrid Cloud Show (hybridcloudshow.com) tell Joe and Félim about bootc desktop Linux distros, how they build, deploy, and update them, and why this modern approach is so powerful. Plus another system information tool, cutting edge upscaling on the Steam Deck, and why Chris has switched to the KDE Plasma desktop.
