As usual, I have botched up the show notes where they make absolutely no sense and I fully expect the ENTIRE HUMAN COMMUNITY from HPR to attack me endlessly over my incompetence. They just keep forgetting that I'm a squirrel who lives in a magical forrest and not a human being and therefore does terrible show notes,

There were so many issues brought up about chromebooks and chromiumOS that I could not prepare a detailed list of them all.

This ENTIRE conversation was derived from the work found on GNU WORLD ORDER episode 383 for which you will find his show notes AS::: https://gnuworldorder.info/ "Linux, Flatpaks, Android apps, and ChromiumOS on a Lenovo Chromebook."

Now, if you don't like my show notes and you do like this aliens show notes, then may I suggest your anti-squirrel and you need to be sent to a de-programming camp for rehabilitation.

Remember, squirrels represent planet earth.

At one time most malware targeted Windows because it was the most popular OS, but as Linux has risen in popularity, particularly in the data center, it has become a target. We look at some of the recent attacks on Linux, and note some common features of the attacks. This then suggests some ways we can protect ourselves

Pat and Claudio discuss the current state of Linux audio applications in 2020. The primary focus is applications to create music. We discuss Linux sound servers (Pulse, ALSA and Jack). Software synthesizers available in Linux. Midi, sequencers and drum machines. Digital Audio Workstation applications. Impulse Responses for guitar and bass speaker emulation. Commercial vendors that support the Linux platform. Music equipment vendors that use Linux as the basis of their products.
