If you have been a longtime listener of the show, you know that the discussion of Linux has come up from time to time. However, it was never brought up by me. “The Linux Paradigm” comes from something I chose to do this week, which wasn’t a thought about a month ago.
There was another topic that was going to be the featured discussion, but that will move to a later time. To be clear, this was never something that I wanted to do because I felt like it. It was something I was forced to do by Microsoft. Everything from my computer getting glitchy with their updates, ineligibility to upgrade to Windows 11, and end of support coming later this year.
There was a bit in regards to last minute news just before recording. News regarding the upcoming TikTok sale and suspension of pre-orders of the Switch 2. There was some other stories that deserved their time in the light but got buried under stock market news.

With everything I wanted to discuss this week, I still managed to keep it under thirty minutes. Hurrah for our side. The douchebag of the week shouldn’t come as any surprise. If it does, you aren’t paying enough attention.
Enjoy this week’s episode of The Lazy Geeks: The Linux Paradigm, and we will see you next week with a discussion topic that will probably interest you all. Mostly because many of the biggest summer blockbusters will be coming this month.
