Summary
Welcome to Episode 465 of Destination Linux! This week, the dynamic duo of Jill and Zeb handle the shell while our third co-host (the one with the 'R' name) enjoys a work trip to the West coast. We kick things off with a major community update: Destination Linux is moving to a monthly Saturday recording schedule to better include our global audience! We detail upcoming Patron Segments and Hangouts, plus a new initiative where our supporters get to vote on which Open Source projects we donate to. In the news, we celebrate a massive win for Linux gaming: HDMI 2.1 support is officially landing in the amdgpu driver thanks to a collaboration between AMD and Valve. We discuss what this means for 4K/120Hz gaming on your living room TV and why it was blocked for so long. Zeb brings the "Shell" topics, covering Rocket League’s move to Easy Anti-Cheat (and why they chose to keep Linux supported when others didn't), the latest Steam Market Share numbers, and the "RAMpocalypse"—the component shortage currently acting as a speed bump for Valve's hardware ambitions.
