On this weeks episode we're going to discuss Mozilla making some unpopular decisions...again...so we'll give our take on whats happening and whether or not the criticism they are getting is fair. Welcome to Destination Linux, where we discuss the latest news, hot topics, gaming, mobile, and all things Open Source & Linux. Also this week, Pine64 recently shared some news about bringing their PineNote back from the depths of Hades. Plus we got some Linux Gaming, and our Software Spotlight, and more.
