About this Episode

Welcome to Destination Linux Episode 478. Jill, Ryan, and Zeb take a deep look at the ongoing Arch AUR attack that has compromised more than 400 packages, how the malware works, and what this means for Linux supply‑chain security. We also clarify new information about Microsoft’s tracking identifiers, examine the leadership changes inside Jellyfin, and explore Cinnamon’s upcoming full Wayland support in version 6.8.
