Ben and Chester had an opportunity to test and evaluate the primary hypervisors and virtualization platforms currently available for free (beer). Chester did some benchmarks to compare performance, but in the end it really all comes down to features and usability.

Chester Wisniewski and Ben Verschaeren gave the Microsoft Teams Preview for Linux a spin. If you work for a company that uses Microsoft 365, you probably need Teams. Until late last year, Teams was only available as a handmade Electron app or in the web browser for Linux, neither being an optimal solution. Microsoft introduced the “Preview” in October 2019 and it has been updated frequently since.

Episode 1 is complete and the format moving forward has been decided. We intend to produce the podcast bi-weekly with a catch-up on the news relevant to professional usage of Linux and occasionally intersperse deep dive episodes focused on a particular topic including reviews, tips and tricks.

In episode 1 we look into Google’s changes to ChromeOS making it easier to boot alternative operating systems, Linus Torvalds’ latest inflammatory comments, interesting ideas on using SSH to secure the world, open source making inroads in Europe, LibreOffice for Android, learning systemd and the recently disclosed Ghost vulnerability in glibc.

We look forward to hearing your ideas and feedback. You can always comment on episodes here or contact us through Twitter or in our subreddit.
