June 16, 2025423: Good-bye to X11 in Ubuntu (GNOME), Hello to /e/OS 3.0, and Apple tries to Contain Linux
video: https://youtu.be/72OZsGwPee0
In this episode of Destination Linux, Ryan, Michael, and Jill suit up as open-source superheroes to tackle the week’s biggest stories: Ubuntu 25.10’s bold move to drop GNOME on X11 for Wayland, Apple’s new containerization feature that sneaks Linux into macOS, and Murena’s privacy-focused /e/ OS 3.0 update. They spar over kernel-level anti-cheat rootkits, debate Wayland’s readiness for prime time (NVIDIA woes and all), we respond to Community Feedback — including pizza bribes and snack shenanigans—and spotlight Bouncer, a nifty firewall-zone helper. Strap in, sync your repos, and join the DL crew as they champion truth, justice, and software freedom — all in under an hour of geeky goodness.
