I have returned to mintCast podcast, holding up my #10 spot in the list of co-hosts by frequency and potentially moving up to as high as #8 if I hold on to the end of the year. https://mintcast.org

Next month's episode will be our #030th. We will likely be trying something new -- evaluating the same (sort of) distro from the eyes of a noobie-like desktop user AND from the eyes of a skilled tech. Our testbed baby will be Gecko Linux -- I will be doing STATIC Budgie, and Dale will be doing ROLLING with a different desktop.

We have grown to where, according to archive dot org, we are getting close to 1000 downloads per episode. We are not at all sure how complete this data is,...

a) install qemu on the raspberry pi4

or

b2) install debian 32 bits in qemu
