If you just got a computer (holiday or otherwise) and are thinking of installing Linux on it, shoot me your questions!

I'm going to collect a bunch of them for an upcoming livestream, maybe this weekend after holiday parties are wrapped! Either that or next week sometime.

You can ask me here or ask (at) veronicaexplains (dot) net.
