Cheating on Fedora After 15 Years
After 24 years of Linux on the desktop, 15 of them with Fedora, I recently had a bit of a mid-life crisis that led to a brief and unfortunate indiscretion. The cracks in my relationship with Fedora have been developing for some time. I work from home and have for a very long time.

An Introduction to the Kubernetes Operator Pattern (YouTube)
