Welcome back! I’m freshly (fully) vaccinated and ready to inject your inbox with another list of Linux links and news.
Housekeeping note: two very sharp readers of the newsletter both pointed out a desire to have a little explanatory blurb for some of the links. Can do! That’s a good idea and will be implemented immediately. A multimedia idea I had was to also include some Linux video content from YouTube; that’s another good source of tons of information.
Do you also have ideas for the newsletter? Drop me a line.
