Destination Linux

Is there a way to use the web without being the product? In Episode 457, the Destination Linux team explores the growing world of decentralized networks and alternative internet protocols. From federated solutions to mesh-style connectivity, we discuss how users are reclaiming their digital sovereignty. We also dive into the "Local First" movement with Jan, an open-source tool that allows you to run powerful AI models entirely offline. No subscriptions, no data mining, just pure local compute. In the news, we break down the latest corporate shakeup: SUSE is for sale again. We analyze what this means for the enterprise Linux landscape and the community. We also share our "Hidden Gem" open-source apps, including the multi-track video editor Flowblade, and see who survives Zeb’s Quickfire Revenge.
