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!

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...

This is a great fall recipe. Perfect served over egg noodles.
Ingredients
6 skinless, boneless chicken thighs
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
6 strips bacon
1 onion, sliced
2 cups chicken broth, divided
2 cups apple cider, divided
2 apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
4 sage leaves
2 sprigs fresh thyme
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
Directions
Season chicken thighs with salt; set aside. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add thighs; cook until browned on both sides, 7 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate; set aside. Cook bacon in the skillet over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels; drain excess grease from the skillet. Cook onion in the skillet over medium heat until soft, 5 to 7 minutes. Add 1 cup chicken broth and 1 cup apple cider; cook until reduced by half, about 10 minutes. Add cooked bacon, apples, sage, and thyme; simmer for 2 minutes. Add remaining 1 cup each chicken broth and apple cider. Return chicken thighs to the skillet; reduce heat to medium-low. Cook and stir until thighs are no longer pink in the centers, about 15 minutes. Transfer thighs to a serving platter. Remove skillet from heat; add butter, swirl to combine with sauce. Pour sauce over thighs.
