O Diogo descobriu, mais um, podcast e fez uma sugestão de correcção para o get-deb, projecto que falámos no episódio anterior. O Carrondo fez um downgrade na sua webcam que resultou num upgrade no desempenho. Na secção de coisas menos interessantes abrodámos temáticas como extensões do Firefox, EoL do Impish Indri e novidades para as futuras versões do Ubuntu."

The Utopic Tale of Ubuntu

Hosted by Leo Chavez and Dan Simmons, this episode starts with some news (including Lubuntu's Backporting of LXQt for 22.04) before giving a 'brief' history of significant events of Ubuntu's history. This video is two hours long, but with Ubuntu's history so vast it required the length to even briefly cover its evolution.
