This week we make an Ubuntu Core laptop, discuss whether Linux on the desktop is rubbish, bring you a virtual private love and go over your feedback.

It’s Season 11 Episode 12 of the Ubuntu Podcast! Alan Pope, Mark Johnson and Martin Wimpress are connected and speaking to your brain.

In this week’s show:

* We discuss what we’ve been up to recently:

* Alan has installing Ubuntu Core on an old Thinkpad.

* We discuss whether desktop Linux is rubbish and has failed.

*

We share a Virtual Private Lurve:

* DO_Tinfoil

* And we go over all your amazing feedback – thanks for sending it – please keep sending it!
