I liked this show! 

Your review of your softwares included several I use, some I have not heard of but of interest and some I know but have not started to use (and some not in my current need). One of those I have installed and started to look at is Gramps and I was happy to hear your positive comment about it which gives me more confidence to use it. 

When you talked about your early Linux days, it was when I used Sun workstation with their Unix as my daily job driver. I believe I started with Sun in the 1990's and had it for probably more than a decade at job. I liked the Unix environment and I remember a colleague talked about Linux when it was very new and I became interested in Linux but it was much later I actually started to use Linux. I could relate to several details in your story to my Unix background. 

Finally, you mentioned the freedom to put the operating system and other software I want to on my device. One big device many have is a car, and I believe modern cars lack software freedom. Anyone with knowledge in modern cars softwares, please enlighten us in a pod show!
