Recorded LIVE on the streets of Bham, at Camber Coffee http://cambercoffee.com/
On this episode, we are talking about alternatives to the mainstream operating systems and...this comes out of a recent rant AJ had with a few folks

“If you don't like something- don't buy it! Companies owe you NOTHING *unless you are a shareholder*” Just in time for school to start up! Forget Hi I'm a Mac, Hi I'm a PC- what about the other offerings in OS out there.

Canonical Ubuntu:

* Other distros based off this (and Dabian) that gives different looks and functions
* Ubuntu “Certified” hardware- turn key approach https://certification.ubuntu.com/desktop/


Elementary OS; https://elementary.io/
Endless OS; https://endlessos.com/home/

* Made for developing countires but also has hardware: https://endlessos.com/our-computers/


Chrome OS; for those who don't mind Google and have web-based needs (https://www.computerworld.com/article/2893364/chrome-os/is-chrome-os-right-for-you.html)

Tech That Caught our eye

How about NOT the new iPhone (https://www.apple.com/iphone/). If you like it - great. If you don't- great. Does it really matter- nope.

* Only thing to note out of the whole announcements; Apple now has 8 iPhones to choose from. SE, 6, 6+, 7, 7+, 8, 8+, X. So, to everyone on the internet...stop hating on something you don't have buy if you don't want to.
