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.

422: Rustification of Linux, Arch wants Sponsors, VirtualBox to the rescue & more
video: https://youtu.be/xf54vJrXB0o
This week on Destination Linux, Captain Jill, Ryan, and Michael chart a course through the latest open-source headlines: VirtualBox 7.1.10 lands with fresh kernel and ARM love, Ubuntu plots a daring switch to a Rust-powered sudo-rs, and Arch Linux eyes transparent sponsorships (hey there, Valve!). Plus, a spirited listener debate on GrapheneOS, iOS privacy, and why security still matters—alongside our agentless friends at Sandfly Security. Buckle up, sync your repos, and keep flying with us!

Ready to ditch the controller? In this video we crack open Valve’s rumored brain-implant project—how it might beam your entire Steam library straight into your neurons, what problems it could solve (or create), and why it could be gaming’s biggest leap since VR. Hit play and decide if you’re brave enough to jack in.
