The Joy of Upcycling Old Computers

Episode outline

• Welcome to this mini-podcast/voice note series. Here’s the story of why I decided to do a tech podcast although technically I’m an intuitive writer/artist.

• My old computers and how I upcycle them.

• Versions of Linux I’m currently using.

Links

• Pop OS

• Zorin OS (Note: In my podcast I mention that I use Zorin OS Lite. However, that operating system is being phased out by the Zorin OS team because they feel like the latest version of Zorin OS is light weight enough to run on older computers, so Zorin OS Lite is no longer available.)

• Screenshots: My Zorin OS Desktop (Dual monitor) / Pop OS Desktop
