In this episode of Destination Linux, the team dives into global privacy laws and how the UK’s proposed child protection and filtering systems could reshape the internet as we know it. Ryan breaks down Google’s latest developer decree that threatens the very existence of F-Droid and other open-source Android app stores, while Jill takes us on a nostalgic journey through her boxed Linux collection—from Red Hat 5 to Corel Linux and Mandrake 7.0. Nate wraps things up with a look at Samsung’s bizarre decision to push advertisements on $1,800 smart refrigerators. Privacy, history, and a little bit of corporate absurdity all collide in this week’s show.

433: Is Your Favorite Open Source Software Really Open Source?

video: https://youtu.be/PdyDXEbu56k

This week on Destination Linux, we’re putting software to the test with a brand-new community tool at IsItReallyFOSS.com, a site that helps you find out if projects claiming to be open source live up to it. Then Jill takes us through the latest release of Fastfetch 2.49, the modern Neofetch alternative that’s quickly becoming the go-to tool for showing off your Linux system specs. Plus we look into a troubling story about a free VPN Chrome extension that secretly spied on users while posing as a trusted privacy tool. All of this and more on this episode of Destination Linux.

On this episode of Destination Linux, we are joined by security expert Craig Rowland returns for the “Sandfly Security Scoop,” explaining how the stealthy BPFdoor back‑door evades firewalls and sharing tips for DEF CON and Black Hat attendees. We also unpack listener feedback about phone‑addiction myths and mindful smartphone use. Then we discuss Moonshot’s open‑source Kimi AI model that tackles two‑million‑character prompts and beats proprietary LLM benchmarks, sparking a wider chat about open AI guardrails and Linux’s role under the hood. Later, there's some bittersweet news that Intel is discontinuing its performance‑tuned Clear Linux distro, prompting nostalgia and debate over rolling vs. hybrid releases. Our tip of the week highlights a crowd‑sourced Linux guide that demystifies getting started with Ubuntu especially for network engineers.

423: Good-bye to X11 in Ubuntu (GNOME), Hello to /e/OS 3.0, and Apple tries to Contain Linux

video: https://youtu.be/72OZsGwPee0

In this episode of Destination Linux, Ryan, Michael, and Jill suit up as open-source superheroes to tackle the week’s biggest stories: Ubuntu 25.10’s bold move to drop GNOME on X11 for Wayland, Apple’s new containerization feature that sneaks Linux into macOS, and Murena’s privacy-focused /e/ OS 3.0 update. They spar over kernel-level anti-cheat rootkits, debate Wayland’s readiness for prime time (NVIDIA woes and all), we respond to Community Feedback — including pizza bribes and snack shenanigans—and spotlight Bouncer, a nifty firewall-zone helper. Strap in, sync your repos, and join the DL crew as they champion truth, justice, and software freedom — all in under an hour of geeky goodness.
