Christian Spaan 07.10.2025 Linux

In this episode of Destination Linux, the team dives into global privacy laws and how the UK’s proposed child protection and filtering systems could reshape the internet as we know it. Ryan breaks down Google’s latest developer decree that threatens the very existence of F-Droid and other open-source Android app stores.

Jill takes us on a nostalgic journey through her boxed Linux collection - from Red Hat 5 to Corel Linux and Mandrake 7.0. And Nate wraps things up with a look at Samsung’s bizarre decision to push advertisements on $1,800 smart refrigerators. Privacy, history, and a little bit of corporate absurdity all collide in this week’s show.
