From the low-end to the high-end we try out both ends of the Linux hardware spectrum. Wes reviews the latest XPS 13, and Chris shares his thoughts on the Pinebook Pro.

Plus a really cool new feature in Linux 5.7, and we get some answers to the recent GNOME patent settlement from the source.

Special Guests: Dan Johansen and Drew DeVore.
