This is not only a fun and breezy podcast, it is incredibly informatives. I feel that I have multiple things to follow-up on after each podcast because they cover so much material.
If you are interested in Linux and the technical details for your laptop or desktop PC, I highly recommend this podcast.
I switched to Apple Podcasts so I could leave a review and support you guys with ads but I’m not getting any for some reason..? This show has really helped me on my Linux journey plus is so entertaining. Wife’s old laptop is running Debian lika a champ, and it’s also helped me do more with my home servers (a Zimaboard 2 and a pizero 2w)
I don’t mind the ads, they’re fine. The Baked Ziti thing is annoying enough to unsubscribe.
Hearing Adam and Will each week talk about their success and challenges with Linux prepped me to make the jump.
I call myself a Techthusiast. I like to tinker. I’ve broken plenty of things exploring this hobby. The hosts are a great sanity check as I dabble in Linux and learn a new OS. Thanks for helping make 2026 the year of the Linux desktop for me.
Hands down the best Linux podcast out there.

Two long-time Windows users explore switching to Linux full-time, sharing weekly daily-driving experiments, hardware quirks, gaming on Linux, and the journey of reducing Windows reliance. Episodes frequently focus on distribution choices, desktop environments, and practical setup tips for learning Linux, with a candid, hands-on vibe. Notable is a recurring pattern of hosting experts and builders from the Linux/open-source ecosystem, plus reflective moments about the hosts' ongoing transition and what it means to delete one OS from their machines. This mix makes it helpful for listeners who want actionable Linux-adoption insights, hardware/software troubleshooting, and pragmatic perspectives from peers in the Linux community.
