Tumbleweed, Tablet Trouble, and the Browser Grudge Match | Linux Out Loud 128

It’s back-to-school season on Linux Out Loud! Wendy gives Ultramarine Linux high marks after moving camp laptops over from Zorin and getting DaVinci Resolve working with Nvidia, while Nate explains his hybrid-atomic openSUSE Tumbleweed update workflow and continues his one-sided feud with Microsoft Edge. Bill returns from the Pacific Northwest, starts a new professional chapter, and explores FleetDM as an open-source way to manage a growing herd of devices.
