Bryan Lunduke's 'Linux Sucks' comes to SCALE 14X

Submitted by Larry Cafiero on Sat, 2015-10-03 15:36

With great fanfare, FOSS raconteur Bryan Lunduke will bring his annual "Linux Sucks" presentation -- complete with film crew and streaming for those who cannot make it here to Pasadena -- at SCALE 14X. Also, if you can't wait for the video in January, Lunduke also announces that his book, "Linux Sucks" (Spoiler alert: It doesn't), will be out soon. So you can read the book and then see the movie in January. It's a win-win.
