Also greatly enjoyed Karen and Bradley's discussion of the golden age of software freedom (and subsequent dark age). Remember it well. At the time I was okay with this new # thing (whatever happened to that?) bundling some non-free drivers in the base install media because by then we'd essentially won, hadn't we? A handful of hard-line vendors still to be swept up, but basically Mission Accomplished, right?

When I finally awoke from my Shuttleworth slumbers and tried to install # on the most generic of white box PCs (my brand of choice), I found I kept having to install drivers from the non-free repo. WTF? I thought we fixed this?

Then came the phones…
