Al, Kevie and Andrew (aka mcnalu) once again reconnoitre the landscape of Free and Open Source Software and Commonly Creative tunes. Dave (aka thelovebug) is on sabbatical this episode but, worry not, he will be back. We start as always with an amble around unusual releases recently listed on distrowatch.

If you like to game then you might consider trying out Bazzite – The operating system for the next generation of gamers. Is it easy to install? Does it come with all you might need for gaming? Can it keep up with or even surpass Windows as a gaming platform? Can you use it as a daily driver, perhaps even for work? All of these questions receive some kind of answer during our discussion.

Next we take a look at the Android App Alibi for which you can use your phone as a dashcam and save the last 30 minutes when you need it.

Finally we run through feedback received and announce TuxJam Half-cut on Saturday 1st August in Manchester. Building upon the success of the in-person Podcrawl of yesteyear and our inability to meet up at Oggcamp, the guys feel that another AFK meet-up is long overdue. The TuxJam crew will be staying at the Pendulum Hotel and do a live recording followed by a sampling of some fine ales at the local establishments. If you can join us during that weekend please do get in touch.

Songs licensed under a Creative Commons license played during this episode are:

• The New Economy- A Little Story (left behind)
• Cosmic Fruits – Stony Road
• Midnight Coffee Blues – The Coffee’s Still Warm
• Appalachia – As The Crow Flies

Kevie, Al, Dave (aka thelovebug) and Andrew (aka mcnalu) return for another wander through the fragrant fields of Free and Open Source Software and Creatively Common tunes. We start as always with a run-down of unusual operating systems that caught our eye on distrowatch.

Next up Andrew and Kevie take a look at RawTherapee – a free, cross-platform image processing program that does a job similar to Adobe Lightroom in allowing you to carefully convert camera raw files. This image of comet R3 Panstarrs was taken by Andrew in morning twilight and processed in RawTherapee to ensure the colours are correct – this comet was notably green. Kevie used GIMP to remove some unsightly power lines.

Collabora Office – Collaborative Open-Source Document Editing – then gets the once over from Al and Dave as they explore its suite of online office apps that you can host yourself if you wish.

We close with a round-up of feedback and a recounting of tales from Oggcamp 2026 which 50% of TuxJam attended.

Tunes licensed under lovely Creative Commons type licenses played in this episode were:

• Roy Smiles III – The Ocean
• Appalachia – Cohutta
• Jon Worthy – Is That What You Said
• SHOR – ORANGE CITY
