I kicked off the creation of Linux Matters in 2023. I present the show with two other technology experts every two weeks. I felt there was a gap in the market for a positive, lighthearted, upbeat and accessible podcast about all things related to Linux. In every episode, we each pick a topic to discuss and spend a little time sharing our discoveries or what we've been using and learning since least time.
