Destination Linux 472 is packed with Linux news, privacy talk, hardware excitement, and a special guest appearance from Mathieu of Lutris!
We kick things off with community feedback about balancing cybersecurity education, family life, and work, a topic many in the Linux community relate to. Jill reveals the long‑awaited Steam Machine, complete with specs, pricing, and why Valve may have launched now. Ryan breaks down Cape Private Wireless, a new privacy‑focused carrier aiming to fix the surveillance‑heavy telco model. Mathieu joins us to discuss local AI models catching up, the hardware demands behind them, and his new e‑ink learning project, Semilla.
Zeb rounds out the episode with hot news
All that plus Sandfly Security, supporter shoutouts, and closing thoughts from the DL crew.
