In this series, we look at a range of home activities where Linux can play its part, making the most of our time at home, keeping active and engaged. The change of lifestyle enforced by Covid-19 is an opportunity to expand our horizons, and spend more time on activities we have neglected in the past.
A good starting point is home cooking. It’s an activity that’s great for individuals as well as families, where we can teach our children the joy of creating freshly cooked home food. With restaurants closed, queuing systems prevalent at supermarkets, and online food shopping prioritized for the vulnerable in our society, what better time to improve our culinary prowess. Linux won’t help us become master chefs, but there’s free and open source software that helps us choose some great recipes to experiment with, and make sure we are eating a balanced and nutritional diet.
