60 – Elementary OS 8.1, and Void Linux Base ISO

In this episode of Distrohoppers’ Digest, Dale and Majid dig into two very different Linux experiences: the stripped-down, do-it-yourself world of Void Linux Base ISO and the sleek but opinionated desktop of elementary OS 8.1. Along the way, they also share what they’ve been tinkering with lately, from replacing Pi-hole with Technitium DNS to hopping back to Debian Xfce, plus a few monthly mishaps and surprises that remind us Linux experimentation doesn’t always go to plan.

They also revisit past distro experiences, including Firefox oddities on Zorin OS and a recovery story involving Fedora after CachyOS trouble. The episode wraps with listener feedback, more thoughts on Bodhi and MX Linux-style system rescue options, and the usual appreciation for the tools, people, and open-source projects that keep the Linux community thriving.
