#10 SWMO, Waydroid, XFCE4, MATE, msm-fw-loader, mkinitfs, OctoPrint

Following up on WayDroid since we last talked about it in #8 - still experimental but now properly packaged for edge. So less hacking around to give it a try. Besides that — as always — we have a fun time with a whole bunch of other news. For feedback use #postmarketOSpodcast on Mastodon.

Featuring @craftyguy, @PureTryOut, @z3ntu, @MartijnBraam, @ollieparanoid (in order of appearance).
