Ubuntu was never "forked". It was and still is used as a package base and regarded as an upstream component. Why Ubuntu? Because it was (and still is) the best package base.

App Focus

Warpinator

This episode's app: Warpinator.

It's timely since we're using Linux Mint, and that's the crucible it was forged in.

It's installed by default in Linux Mint 20, and available... in the AUR. Everyone else will need to compile it from Github at this point.

Warpinator is basically just AirDrop on Mac and iOS, but for Linux.

Join us in two weeks when we return to the Linux User Space
