18.04.1 and things based off it (or are going to be), Linux Mint 19, Elementary OS, KDE Neon, Zorin OS
Gnome 3 and Ubuntu switching to it, stock gnome 3 vs “Ubuntufied Gnome 3 shell”
KDE 5 and KDE Neon, design and system resources, LXQT as a “lightweight” desktop environment
We briefly talk about Nvidia and AMD cards and drivers and what to buy and what’s most compatible
Should we always attempt to own/jailbreak/reinstall everything? While devices like the Kindle are worth jailbreaking for the extra features, the risk of bricking is high in many cases because of artificial barriers put in place by the manufacturers. Couldn't they just allow us to use the things we buy as we please, even if it meant voiding the warranty?
Mozilla’s new designs - Waste of time or a good thing to show that an open source project can be a “designer item” and a “brand” https://blog.mozilla.org/opendesign/evolving-the-firefox-brand/

Briefly our “discovery story” and what makes us passionate about Linux, what motivates us to organise the DLUG, attend conferences etc
