It was a great episode. Very curious about the Skyroof project - I'll have to look more into it.

@kb6nu Really, you can't go wrong with any Debian-based distribution. Linux Mint is generally the easiest to learn (and what I run), but any of them will work. Also, paging @lhspodcast. [Dan's original comment: I'm thinking of converting my #hamradio computer to #Linux, now that W10 is no longer being supported. Do any of you have a #Linux computer powering your ham station? If so, what distro and what, if any, logging software are you using?]

Hello and welcome to Episode 597 of Linux in the Ham Shack. In this episode, the hosts check out a ham-radio focused Linux distribution called arcOS. Topics include download and installation, philosophy and use cases, initial configuration and impressions, software package availability. design choices and much more. Thanks for listening and have a great week.
The Amateur Radio Community Operating System is a bootable live Linux system on a USB drive built to "just work" with the affordable Digirig Mobile device. arcOS is founded on the belief that digital communications within communities of operators can be accessible and easy to use for ALL, regardless of license class or experience.
I enjoyed your coverage of CachyOS so much I downloaded an ISO for my Ventoy collection. Seems like a good stable system so I will have to test it out on a spare PC see how it compares to ElementaryOS for my spouse. She really likes ElementaryOS so far but I am always open to options. Great work on bringing Linux to the masses!
Comment on Episode #595 from Tim, KD0UUU
Interesting that the small “country” that had an issue with an illegal ham license. Did they say which foreign nation the “spy” was from? Just curious...
