Summary
Welcome to Destination Linux Episode 480. Jill is back from the 60th Anniversary Star Trek Convention with stories from Las Vegas, and Ryan and Zeb join her for a full week of Linux news and discussion. We celebrate Debian’s 33rd birthday, look at Discord’s newly increased upload limits, explore the lightweight MarkLite Markdown editor, and dive into one of Jill’s favorite new features in Linux Kernel 7.2: USB4STREAM, a retro‑cool way to transfer data directly between machines. Ryan covers the growing conflict between GrapheneOS and Fairphone, examining what it means for privacy, repairability, and secure mobile devices.
