The second GOL Podcast episode of 2021 is here, come get it while it's hot and ranty as we cover a range of weird and wonderful topics in Linux, open source, gaming and more.
As usual, it's a very casual and frank chat between two friends (myself) and GOL contributor / Linux livestreamer Samsai about many different Linux-related topics. Apologies for my audio on this one, sadly the gain on my microphone amp was up far too high without me realising and so it's definitely not as clear as previous episodes.

Distortion isn’t bad, the difference in volume is more serious. You just need to do a short trial run before you start recording, though I’m sure you know that already. :-)
Great stuff, thanks for doing it.
Samsai really needs to stop saying like every 3 seconds...It's a nasty habit that I had to already kick once when I was more actively doing YouTube, but it has snuck back in.
