Shownotes
In Destination Linux 470, the crew charges into another epic adventure across the open‑source universe!
Jill brings fantastic news as Proton Drive officially begins work on a native Linux client, complete with a brand‑new unified engine and huge performance gains. She also covers major improvements coming to Intel Arc Battlemage GPUs thanks to Linux kernel 7.1 and Mesa optimizations.
Ryan unleashes a full‑power rant as Apple integrates Google’s Gemini AI directly into iOS and Siri, raising serious questions about privacy, data routing, and Apple’s long‑held “trust us” philosophy.
Zeb dives into the business battlefield with:
Google paying SpaceX $920M per month for compute access
S&P 500 rejecting SpaceX’s fast‑track entry
Ladybird shutting down public pull requests due to AI‑generated code concerns
Plus community feedback, Sandfly Security sponsorship, and updates from the DL community.
