Thanks for joining us for episode 21 of DLN Xtend. Nate talks about designing a roll out pantry in Fusion 360 and Eric tests the virtues of virtual machines, virtual environments and containers.
We received some listener feedback from ThatComputerKid about how he feels EndeavourOS is not Arch.

In the DLN Community segment, there was a post in the Destination Linux Network Discourse forum about learning computer programming, specifically which languages are worth learning. Eric ignores all that and focuses on the process of actually learning to code and how it's been a series of stops and starts for him.
In case you haven't heard, Linux++ is now on Front Page Linux. Linux++ is a weekly dive into the major topics, events, and headlines throughout the Linux world published by Eric Londo. Eric is an environmental engineer with a passion in software development, the open-source software community, and especially the GNU/Linux OS. His take on the events of the week are in-depth, concise and well researched. It's an excellent resource for all things Linux and Open Source and we highly recommend checking it out.
On Hardware Addicts episode 8 they discuss new AMD laptop processors featuring a lower TDP (thermal design power) which promises lower heat output and better battery life. This gets us thinking about the race to the middle that the ARM and x86 CPU architectures seem to be engaged in.
Also on Hardware Addicts episode 8, the topic of USB audio devices was discussed which led Nate to wonder if having a hardware solution for audio is a better choice than controlling things in software with the likes of PulseAudio.
That's all for this episode. Be sure to stop by DLN's Discourse, Telegram, Mumble and Discord servers to continue the discussion. More information about this show and other Destination Linux Network shows and creators (like Eric and Nate for example) is available at destinationlinux.network.
Until next time, see yas!
