    Jason really gives to the community. And his work is top notch.
  • @joeroussin9504
    Perfect timing. I just set up a new PC with Linux. This is exactly the information I needed.
  • @Blake-jl8lh
    Missed the stream but this is exactly what I needed! Thank you!!!
  • @ronhiltz69
    I had been wondering what to do with my old 2015 MacBook Pro that no longer supported MacOS upgrades. I re-imaged it with Linux Mint and then installed 73 Linux. I plan to use it with my Xiegu X6200.
  • @ericks1979
    Man did a fresh Pi install and Vara still didn't work for me after trying it twice. Only thing I can think of is it was 64bit and he said he only tested it with 32bit, would that make a difference? Excellent otherwise and I appreciate all the work he put into it
  • @phillipsmith21
    I bought and old Panasonic Tough book for this exact purpose but for some reason I can't get Linux to load.
  • What logging software is available on Linux? Something comparable to N1MM?
