This episode of Linux For Everyone opens with a chat about... Phantasy Star Online 2 for Xbox? And it closes with a version of Jason from 13 years ago. In between, there's discussion about the elementary OS "AppCenter For Everyone," and a notable feature of KDE Plasma 5.18. And what Linux distro will Lana try next? Find out the 3 I've chosen, and how YOU can vote on them!

Plus, a Discovery of the Week that'll make your PC sweat, and a new "Song from the Source" by Lorenzo's Music which was produced entirely on Ubuntu Studio.

Sometimes an interview opens new doors of perception. You're able to look at a situation from a completely fresh perspective, and gain insights you never considered were there. That describes my frank conversation with Ubuntu Budgie Team Member Dustin Krysak. It's an organic chat that covers a huge range of topics, from the struggles a smaller distribution faces and how donations are spent, to how the larger Ubuntu family offers support, to what it takes to truly take desktop Linux mainstream.

We close our interview with a fantastic exploration of how pretty much anyone can become a contributor and make a difference in the FOSS community.

PLUS: Your feedback about why we distro-hop!
