Computers according to
@roberthartleygm.bsky.social :

"Maths, electricity, and a whole bunch of f**king attitude."

Can confirm. My server is being a jerk right now.

I'm going to be at @socallinuxexpo.bsky.social 22x this week, representing Ubuntu Studio and Edubuntu! This is my first time here!

I'll also be on the Community and Ubuntu Q&A panels for UbuCon @ SCaLE 22x.

Come and find me!

Ubuntu Studio is more than just a Linux distribution. It's a creative toolbox for anyone using an Ubuntu-based distro.
