It looks like I can replicate my Xubuntu-based education remix using autoinstall and some very minimal tweaks. This is huuuge.. For context, a teacher buddy and I have about 4-5k machines in schools throughout Canada running customized builds of Ubuntu tailored for K12 education. This will dramatically help with the deployment and management of them going forward.

The new autoinstall functionality on Ubuntu Desktop is.. pardon my french.. fucking awesome.
I have some cool things brewing right now that takes full advantage of it.

I believe so. I've been using it until the fine folks at Valve add Linux support to Steam Link.

Tim Walz is a solid pick for VP. Beyond his wholesome grandpa vibes, he's got a really good track record:
- Worked as a public school teacher and was the faculty advisor for the gay-straight alliance chapter.
- Passed a law guaranteeing free lunch and breakfast for all kids.
- Passed a law protecting reproductive rights after Roe v. Wade was overturned.
- Is a hunter and gun owner, but still supports very logical gun ownership and control laws.
- Very pro-union and pro-worker.

This article makes me feel visceral anger. It's a millennial giving a dismissive and patronizing lecture to Gen Zers for rightfully feeling fear and angst over the state of the economy and their futures.
To my Gen Z friends, please ignore these people. Your gut feeling is correct. The economic system is very fucked and you should be mad. Fight for a better future.
