463: Resistance is NOT Futile: RESIST the Digital Lockdown: Episode 463

Deviant Airwaves — Mon, 27 Apr 2026 06:00:00 -0400

Welcome to episode 463 of Destination Linux! This week, we explore the growing movement to RESIST the limitations of modern streaming services as users rediscover the reliability of physical media and self-hosted solutions.

We also take a deep dive into the technical side of things with the release of Proton 11 for ARM, discussing what this means for the future of Linux gaming on non-x86 hardware. In the news roundup, we look at the latest modular innovations from Framework, including their new laptop and keyboard designs. Finally, we tackle a heavy dose of privacy news, from the controversial expansion of live facial recognition in the UK to a significant national ID data breach in France.

452: Can Open Source Save Us from the AI Dystopia?

Deviant Airwaves — Tue, 10 Feb 2026 06:00:00 -0500

Can Open Source save the world? In episode 452, the crew dives deep into the "In-Between Dystopia" of AI layoffs and whether we are headed toward a Star Trek-style post-scarcity economy or a Mad Max wasteland. We also discuss why governments are finally breaking up with Big Tech to build sovereign stacks like La Suite, and why this is a massive win for the FOSS ecosystem.

Plus, we look at Firefox’s return to its roots, the latest security blunders in the "Heap of the Maggots," and a surprising Linux update from GOG.
