Making Linux accessible: no techno babble, no super technical content. Just Linux desktop news, simple tutorials, application spotlights, and opinion pieces trying to stay positive, without gatekeeping. I also often reach out to the community to get feedback and poll results, so subscribe to be a part of that :)
