video: https://youtu.be/txJomfjAUqI

In this episode of Destination Linux, we unpack Denmark’s push for digital sovereignty as it swaps Microsoft Office 365 for LibreOffice, question Google’s commitment to openness after Pixel-specific code goes missing from the latest Android 16 AOSP drop, and celebrate KDE Plasma 6.4’s slew of polish-packed upgrades. Tune in for the big picture on open-source wins, setbacks, and standout releases ... all in one quick-hitting show.
