Some rambling thoughts on Lubuntu 17.04 - Linux distro review
From the Lubuntu website, "Lubuntu is a faster, more lightweight and energy saving, official flavour of Ubuntu using LXDE, the Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment. Lubuntu is designed to be fast and easy to use. It has lots of applications for every daily need, while keeping your system light and responsive, being it ideal not only for old computers and netbooks, but for newer computers too making them lightening fast."

From Tascam.com: TASCAM's DR-07mkII improves on one of the best-selling portable recorders ever with adjustable microphones, clear sound quality and a great new design. The stereo recorder features a pair of adjustable condenser microphones. The built-in cardioid pattern mics can be moved from an XY position, for tight imaging, to an AB position, for a wider ambient sound. Choose the best sound depending on the source and environment.

This command extracts the audio from a video file and puts it in a MP3 file. Ffmpeg automatically works out the right codecs to use from the output file extension, in this case it's MP3.
ffmpeg -i VIDEOFILE OUTPUTFILE.mp3
If you wish to do the same with ann OGG file, you have to specificy that you want audio only, you can do this with the -vn argument.
ffmpeg -i VIDEOFILE -vn OUTPUTFILE.ogg

In today's video I discuss a few areas I feel GNU/Linux distributions have really improved in recent years as well as the general state of the most popular desktop Linux distributions.
1. I use Kdenlive available at http://kdenlive.org to edit most of the videos on this channel.
2. Open Sans, the font I like to use can be found here: https://www.google.com/fonts/specimen/Open+Sans
3. I did pick up Linux Mint for a 2nd time as I was cycling through my daily driver distributions.

From the Basilisk website, "Basilisk is a free and Open Source XUL-based web browser, featuring the well-known Firefox-style interface and operation. It is based on the Goanna layout and rendering engine (a fork of Gecko) and builds on the Unified XUL Platform (UXP), which in turn is a fork of the Mozilla code base without Servo or Rust.
"Basilisk is primarily a reference application for development of the XUL platform it builds upon, and additionally a potential replacement for Firefox."
