With Gareth Myles and Ted Salmon RSS Link: | | | | | | | Feedback, Fallout and Contributions Andy Morris Just been listening to the latest Podcast, and got to the bit about Duty Free and paying in. the US. The reason @Gareth Myles that there is a 6% charge is the conversion to GBP plus a charge to do so, you should always pay in the local currency.. And the way they do the duty free collection is the same as what happens across the globe not just the US (had it in Hong Kong) where you collect at the gate... None of this has anything to do with Tariffs. The...

Simon Bates has Given Windows The Boot!
After listening with interest to your tales of tinkering with Linux, and as Windows was getting on my tits, I decided to give Linux a try. I used a piece of software on a USB called Ventoy. It allows you to put as many ISO files on a USB as you want without committing to any one operating system. I tried about 5 live Distros over the course of a week. It really is a tinkering dream. Distro-hopping is so addictive. It’s like setting up a new phone then changing it again! I couldn’t believe how advanced Linux has become. In the end I opted for Bazzite which is based on Fedora but geared towards gamers as I have a big Steam library. Every game just works as soon as downloaded. As Gareth said, there seems to be a decent software store with everything you need - and it all just works. Thanks guys for giving me a little nudge. Looking forward to your Linux special.
