This week on Destination Linux, we’re diving into the UK’s controversial Online Safety Act and what it means for privacy and encryption, checking out the new high-refresh, open-source Modos e-ink monitor, exploring Newelle — an AI assistant built for the GNOME desktop, and highlighting Gapless, the lightweight music player perfect for huge collections. Plus, we help a listener navigate the challenge of running DaVinci Resolve on Linux.
