Hey Linux Lovers & Tech Explorers!

Buckle up for this week's spicy episode where I dive into the world of open source elitism! 🔥

I'm getting real about my recent adventures in Linux-land, including my battle with Fedora 42 installation and the struggle to get my favorite games running smoothly. Ever been made to feel stupid for asking a "simple" question in a tech forum? Then this episode is for you!

I share my run-in with the infamous "RTFM" crowd and call out the gatekeepers who seem determined to keep Linux exclusive to the tech elite. Spoiler alert: I believe open source should be for EVERYONE!

Also chatting about:

My experiences with Steam gaming on Linux (it's almost there!)
Why some games like Apex Legends are giving Linux the cold shoulder
How the Steam Deck is changing the game (pun intended!)
The hilarious encounter with a troll who called me a "Microsoft shill" (while wearing my Mixer shirt, no less!)

Come hang out as we celebrate open source while challenging the community to do better! Remember: We were all newbies once. 💻✨
