**What have we been up to Linux related this Week?**
Tyler ā I've been focused on making better thumbnails, trying to get ahead on videos, make more cool designs for merch, and find some time to work on the wagon.
Matt ā I've been watching the guy behind Asahi Linux work on making it work on M1 Pro Macs. I have no clue what he's doing but it's kind of fun to watch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5V4EJXPq6Q

EastCoastWeb
Brackets is owned by Adobe (I believe) and no longer maintained. When Dreamweaver redesigned they used Brackets. It sucked and Dreamweaver is dead now. Adobe just doesn't know it.
