Tip of the Week
apropos -s 1 “” | shuf -n 1
Full Message:
"Hello everyone! love the show. Been a Linux user for a little bit now and I get lots of tips and tricks from you guys. I wanted to share a trick I recently started using to learn commands/tools/stuff. There are so many commands and functions that I would feel overwhelmed learning about them. I came across the apropos command using the -s 1 “” when using that options you will see tons of output and their definitions. This is where your anxiety starts. BUT if you pipe that into the shuf command followed by -n 1 it will output one random command with the brief definition. The full command would be apropos -s 1 “” | shuf -n 1 I then put this in my bashrc start up so when I log into the system it will output one of those random commands. I will then take that one output and make it my mission to know everything I can about it by the end of the day. (if its something I already know, I will run the command until I see something new) Hope someone finds this helpful. Keep marching!"

Tips & Tricks: Create your own answer bot in the terminal.
Sometimes when you run an update and something fails you don't want to go through the hassle of answering Yes to every single instance over again. In this case you can make your very own Answer Bot using a Pipe.
For example: yes | apt-get upgrade yes | pacman -Syu no | command of your choice
This will keep you from having to manually answer each time by putting yes or no the pipe symbol and your command.

Linux Kernel 5.4.7 / 4.19.92 / 4.14.161 - Our Hopes for Linux in 2020 - [Ryan] - Better professional audio equipment support - Tablet and mobile support - A corporate or well financed entity focused on the desktop. Easy install, hardware partnerships, mobile integration, and up to date rolling. - [Michael] - reiterate Ryan's desktop focus point - more companies using universal app formats regardless which one they pick - WINE to get some more attention from some kind of backing - [Zeb] - Less regression, it always seems that in the process of fixing one thing another thing breaks somewhere else. Now the Devs cannot really do a lot about this without the communities help. So as Linux users we need to volunteer to do more testing. - - [Noah] - WireGuard - Pipewire Best OS for Raspberry Pi - How we use our Raspberry Pi's ODROID-GO $55 Handheld EA Bans Linux Users

Software Spotlight: This software spotlight comes one of the hosts of the new podcast, DLNXtend:
Since I am a KDE Plasma user and I do a lot in the web when it comes to researching and I think you should give KDE Falkon a try. It is not feature rich and lacks the Plasma Integration and ability to access DRM encumbered sources but outside of that, it has much less memory usage than Chrome or Firefox. I have been using it for nearly everything as of late. It might be wroth a try.

Software Spotlight: Our Spotlight this week comes from the community. Linux Maximus writes to say:
Hi. Linux Maximus here. Great show guys, not one excepted.'
Sed and Awk are great but I don't do enough scripting or terminal commands to spend the time learning how they work. And just forget about regex. But I need scripts that replaces one string with another string so I just love Rpl.
Here is the blurb: rpl is a text replacement utility. It will replace strings with new strings in multiple text files. It can work recursively over directories and supports limiting the search to specific file suffixes.
The syntax is really simple. Here is an example of replacing a string in a file
rpl "oldstring" "newstring" /path/to/file
It also has a other options like dry-run and backup of old files. Just run rpl --help and you get a easy overview of options. Very cool little project for us that like the terminal, but not That much.

Tips & Tricks Of The Week: Use LVFS and fwpupd daemon to update your computers firmware if it’s supported. You can go to LVFS website and check if your hardware manufacturer has joined. The list is growing, now Dell, HP, Lenovo, Intel are all apart of LVFS which means they’re creating methods for you to update your hardwares firmware without dual booting. LVFS stands for ‘Linux Vender Firmware Service’. You can manually download and install the updates or search LVFS manually. Additionally, Discover and Gnome software have support for it.
Manually your can install fwupd. Start the service and run sudo fwupdmgr refresh and sudo fwupdmgr update.

Our software spotlight comes from a listerner Elis this week. They say:
Hey DL,
I know a tool that is my favorite archiving software for filesystems, it works for most filesystems that you’d care about, with different caveats when it comes to filesystems that have subvolumes etc.
The tool is named fsarchiver and it’s been around for at least 10 years from looking at the changelog on the website[1].
It operates by copying all the files and the file attributes to it’s own archiving format (.fsa), and checksums the files to be able to detect corruption in archives.
So it doesn’t actually image the filesystem, it just archives the files in the filesystem. This makes this tool very powerful because when you restore the archive to a disk. It can restore the archive to a different filesystem of a different size (even smaller) as long as all the files fits in there.
PS. It can even be of use for filthy dualbooters like Michael since it has support for NTFS as well.
I have experience of trying out that support, about 10 years ago when I managed the local computer clubs computers we had a Windows-system on NTFS that we archived and restored with a netbooted gentoo to wipe those Windows-systems with a pre-made image.

Tips & Tricks: Head and Tail Commands in the Terminal When you’re looking through files sometimes you just need to see the first or last lines of the document to see if it’s the one you need or get the info you want. The ‘head’ and ‘tail’ command will do just that.
‘head’ grabs the first lines of a file and ‘tail’ displays the last lines.
As an example you could type head test.txt to get the first 10 lines. Or use the switch -n followed by a number to print any number of lines. Example: head -n 15 test.txt will give you 15 beginning lines.
Tail does the same thing but starting from the bottom.

Episode 84: Destination Linux EP84 – Dude I Got A Dell
Aug 22, 2018
Welcome to Episode 84 of Destination Linux
On this episode of Destination Linux, we are still making some changes to the show, please let us know what you think so far. This week, we discussed some of the most interesting topics around the Linux community including the KDE Neon Bionic Preview, Linux Mint Debian Edition, OpenWRT, i3 and Sway window managers.

All that and much more!
many thanks for your great podcast. It is a trusted companion when looking at the tail lights of the car in front of me, every day when I drive to work.
My question may be stupid, but Google doesn’t give me a direct answer to following question:
I want to reinstall my Linux Mint. When I make a backup of all my files (from /home) onto eg. a EXT4 USB drive (copy/paste), then I nuke the Mint install and reinstall from scratch,
when I then restore the backed up /home data files, what happens with the rights on the file? (ownership & file permissions)
Are they being brought across from the original install, or are they set correctly for the new install?
Are there backup tools which make sure that file permissions are set correctly when restored on a new system?
Many thanks in advance for your help.
Episode 83: Destination Linux EP83 – Summertime Threadripping
Aug 17, 2018
Welcome to Episode 83 of Destination Linux
On this episode of Destination Linux, as we are down 1 host, we’ve made quite a few changes to the show. We are still in the process of making these changes so please bear with us still but I think there is a lot of potential for the future. This week, we discussed the latest news such as the Solus 10 Hour Hackfest, new releases of Netrunner, Thunderbird, LibreOffice, and X.Org. We also got some cool new games in the Linux Gaming section and we are continuing with our new segments for Tips & Tricks as well as Software Spotlights. All that and much more!
Tip / Trick: Use the ‘at’ command in the terminal to execute a task at a certain time. If ‘at’ is not already installed you can install it from your package manager sudo apt install at
I stumbled across the podcast at a time in my life when I was struggling with the worst depression and anxiety I’ve ever experienced in my life. I am so grateful that I did find it though. The very first episode I saw had Martin Wimpress on as a guest. The banter between Ryan and wimpy was the first thing that was able to make me laugh in months. I can’t describe how much I appreciate all of the hard work from the past and current lineup.
You guys renew my passion and excitement for Linux every week. Thanks for helping create and maintain a community that cares about a project that is actually making a difference in the world. And a community where I can remain silent but still feel like I’m surrounded by friends in discord and telegram. Friends who love to talk about Linux and computers as much as I do and won’t perceive me as just some nerd that isn’t worth talking to. I feel home.
All of your hard work is what keeps us going and drives us to want to learn more! I genuinely can’t thank you guys enough for everything you do. I’ll be around as long as DL is around.
Episode 82: Destination Linux EP82 – A Three Dimensional Journey
Aug 10, 2018
Welcome to Episode 82 of Destination Linux
On this episode of Destination Linux, as we are down 1 host, we’ve made quite a few changes to the show. We are still in the process of making these changes so please bear with us still but I think there is a lot of potential for the future. This week, we discussed the latest news such as Ubuntu 18.04’s First Point Release, The Return Of Korora, Firefox Delivering Out-Of-Process Extensions To Linux, Windows may soon be gone with Desktop as a Service Replacing it, and we’ll talk about some Linux Gaming topics like the cool Battle Royale game, Crazy Justice coming to Linux. We are also adding a brand new segment for Tips & Tricks as well as Software Spotlights. All that and much more!
Tip: Easy Window Resizing (in most desktop environments) Press & Hold the “Alt” key, then Right-Click near the edge of a window, drag the mouse until you reach the desired size.
I just wanted to throw you a quick note about some really good news and great uses on Linux. I am a Drafter / Designer by trade and have only been using proprietary software on Windows to do 3D mechanical design work. I have recently been using FreeCAD, which is a 3D Parametric solid modeler not too different than the high cost, commercial offerings. It is feature rich and has many modules for different engineering functions. This has been an exciting discovery and journey for me. I have only begun scratching the surface of it and the more I use it the more I like it. Some other noteworthy built in modules include BIM (Building Information Modeler) for doing architectural work and FEM (Finite Element Method) for doing some serious part or system analysis. From a professional and personal standpoint, this is super exciting to know that I am now free of the confinements of super expensive proprietary software for hobby projects. These are cross platform tools not exclusive to Linux but the point is, it is ON Linux and it works super well.
These are some exciting times! —

Episode 81: Destination Linux EP81 – Canonical Fanboys
Aug 03, 2018
Welcome to Episode 81 of Destination Linux
DL Email
Hey, Destination Linux crew,
I love the show, but one thing greatly troubles me…
Ryan “CLAIMS” his car ‘runs linux’, but I am thinking he means that his car ‘boots’ linux. I refuse to believe these outrageous claims until I see a logo of some sort that Ryan has produced ACTUALLY USING this ‘linux’ on his car. That’s right. I’m calling ‘bogus’ on this, until Ryan offers proof-positive that his car RUNS linux by producing something with inkscape or gimp USING HIS CAR.
I admit, I was skeptical when he professes his love for linux, but uses an iPhone to make phone calls. (Android, as google-fied as it may be, is certainly closer to the linux family than iOS)
Seriously, though. Thank you for the show each week! I don’t miss an episode, and, like Ryan, I also work telecom… It’s a welcome relief to hear the friendly linux-centric banter while I go about my I&R (install and repair) business day.
PS: I’m not sure if Michael knew this, but KDE is SO customizable, I’ve even found an option that you can ‘like it’ or ‘not like it’ in the settings!!!
I would like to thank each and every one of you for listening and watching every week. It has been some of the best times doing this show with Ryan, Zeb and Michael.
Rocco
Destination Linux is going to continue. But the format naturally has to change as Rocco handled many critical tasks of the show specific to editing.
During this transition period we’re going to have to do some testing and maneuvering with the show format and how we bring the content to you each week. Our primary focus will continue to be the podcast itself and making sure we’re keeping the patrons and our audience informed.

We were corresponding with Yannick, a.k.a. the French guy from Switzerland recently and he brought to our attention the Raspberry Pi turning Raspbian into a complete desktop OS. We love when our listeners bring these cool projects to our attention and giving us some of the use cases for them. Here is what he has to say:
As for your last question : the Raspberry Pi Foundation took Raspbian – the awesome OS that runs on all of my seven Raspberry Pis – and turn it into a complete OS for PCs and Macs, and they named it Raspberry Pi Desktop – go figure…
It looks exactly the same as Raspbian, but runs on x86 architecture – and also x64 but there are no 64 bits ISO. It is definitely one of those “lightweight” distro. It runs super fast – even in a VM -, but it’s not really sexy.
The main advantage I see with that distro is the fact that I can test my programs – did I mention I am a Linux developer ? – with the comfort of my PC before I transfer them to the Pi. That, and the fact that I can install it and make it run on my mum’s 10-year old laptop !
Anyway, you don’t have to take my word for it, go check it out by yourself !
For those of you who caught the livestream and want to know. The elementaryOS Juno wallpaper is a diagonal gradient between 2 colors going from top left to bottom right.

Episode 76: Destination Linux EP76 – Peppermint the Desktop Hunter

Welcome to Episode 76 of Destination Linux
This episode was live streamed on Youtube and Twitch on Sunday June 23rd
Email Comments:
Thank you for your show, long time listener, first time commenter. I am a regular openSUSE user and contributor to the project and it seems like the review of the distro was greatly glossed over and viewed from a very “Ubuntu” lens. For starters, YaST, a tool that an Ubuntu user wouldn’t be familiar with, once you use it, it is a fantastic collection of system configuration tools. It is a central “shop” to get things configured very nicely. In contrast, to make configurations in Ubuntu, I have to search through a menu of items that may or may not be system or root level settings. If you are used to hunting around for system configurations, it’s not a big deal but for me, I could never consider many distributions because of the lack of a tool LIKE YaST. Also, if you want to live in the terminal, the ncures interface is just as useful. From a sysadmin perspective, this capability makes managing remote systems even easier through the terminal where I do not have to remember all the commands.
The package manager, Zypper, was also glossed over. Zypper’s ability to manage multiple repositories and so very cleanly perform updates or even downgrades is the best I have ever used. Very stable, reliable and on the rolling model gives you spectacular control over your upgrades.
Another feature of openSUSE that seems to be glossed over is the ability to test out multiple Desktop Environments on the same install. I can have KDE Plasma, Gnome, MATE and Budgie installed concurrently and switch between them without any consequences.
As far as your challenges go with installing openSUSE, I can’t speak for that. I haven’t had issues but I am not one to dual boot. I will give other distros a spin in virtual machine. I use BTRFS on root but I do have a sizable partition in order to allow for the snapshots to be made upon each round of package installs.
I know you guys have a good relationship with a lot of the Ubuntu crowd but it would have been nice to have had someone from the openSUSE crowd to be able to discuss the features with you, like Richard Brown. Just a thought
Thanks for your show, I do enjoy it.

*We want to apologize to those who sent us e-mails we missed in April. Apparently our SPAM filters got excited.
While this isn’t a new game. Tensions are heating up to declare the best BO player. Even potential for US vs UK battle (Popey & Wimpey) vs (Rocco and Ryan?) On our individual Youtube channels we’ve been showing off our skills and making the UK team sweat…
Ballistic Overkill is a competitive FPS with incredible graphics and Vulkan support. It features fast paced action with character customization, multiple battle modes like King of the Hill, or Capture points.
We have finally found a game to get Rocco and Michael away from Rocket League if at least for a few hours a week.

Hi,
Big fan of the show, i listen as soon as i can to each new episode.
I thought you would be interested to know that Linux is already dominant in the high end VFX world. I work for a small animation studio where Linux is the pro-dominant OS, but is the industry standard, not the exception.
There are several high-end products which work on Linux, including Autodesk Maya, Mudbox, Foundry Modo, Nuke, Davinci Resolve, Fusion, SideFX Houdini. The large VFX Studios including Pixar, Dreamworks, ILM, Weta also use linux. (CentOS is the main distro used, i heard ILM just switched to CentOS 7 from 6.).
While Video editing is still a mix of Mac/Windows/Linux, with linux being the weaker for video editing it is still possible to create high-end work from start to finish on Linux using industry leading software.
Also Ryan should try EXWM, i now use that after having used i3 for about 7 years.

Hi Rocco,
Cheers to y’all for Destination Linux, BDLL and all your individual channels
In the latest DL episode, someone made a joke about running Linux on a C64. Here’s a picture that proves it can be done. And with Mint no less.. though after achieving this, as a result of severe sleep deprivation from not only the install – but the transfer from ISO to floppies as well – apologies, but I was too tired to neatly stack the 100,000+ 5.25 inch floppy disks I used for the install so I that could provide that photographic evidence as well
I hope at best it gives you a laugh (or four)..
Otherwise I guess a chuckle, chortle or possibly even a mild smirk may suffice…
horonix 14th birthday coming up in May. Michael Larabel does an incredible job with the site and he was interviewed back on Episode 40 if you would like to learn more about him and his work in the Linux community.
This isn’t a new game. This is an old favorite. Amazing competitive FPS. I’ve gearing up to take on Wimpey for the ultimate battle. The manual won’t help you win this one Martin.

Destination Linux Update
Apr 23, 2018
This will be a short discussion on some changes occurring that we think everyone is going to enjoy.
Why the change?
Scheduling for all four hosts
Reaching a broader audience with Linux
Providing a more interactive show
What is Changing
The next stop on our Journey for Destination Linux is Twitch! . . . and YouTube live. We hope this brings a larger audience into the Linux world and provides more opportunity for people to participate in the show.
Patrons
Patrons will still continue to get the interviews early, when possible. The live recording on Youtube and Twitch will not remain on the site after the show is over. However, Patrons will get a link to the archived live shows if they would like to go back and watch that version.
To respect our guests and continue to allow them to make announcements that aren’t yet ready for public consumption we will not be streaming live shows with the guests. The exception will be Patrons who can join us via Zoom as always.
We will be recording the shows on Sundays and they will now be released on Fridays instead of Mondays. This will allow us enough time to edit the episode for release.
Thank you for all of your continued support

Dec 25, 2017
Welcome to Episode 51 of Destination Linux for 12-25-17
Tyranny – Story driven RPG where your choices mean all the difference in a world conquered by evil. Gorgeous graphics, in-depth RPG storyline where you’re engaged in conversations that actually matter and your responses matter. Loot is plentiful and combat is handled brilliantly with strategic battles that include a pause option to allow you to properly plan your parties attack and ability use. It’s not a casual game it’s a true RPG and requires a lot of planning and tuning of your characters abilities and powers.

Episode 49: Destination Linux EP49 – Rob Collins of Linux Quest
Dec 11, 2017
Welcome to Episode 49 of Destination Linux for 12-11-17
Special Guest: Rob Collins
Everyone in the Linux community and the developers and organizers did an amazing job. I think we can all agree this has been an amazing year for Linux. Here we pick some of our top picks but that doesn’t mean there weren’t dozens of others we could name.
GamingOnLinux has no paywalls, no timed articles and those who support you via Paypal or Patreon won’t even have to see ads. Additionally, your site provides its entire source code in true open source fashion. Why was it important for you to make your platform open and how has this shaped GamingOnLinux?
Now for some gaming news!
Let’s talk about Really big gaming news……Eurotruck Simulator just released! (Joke) An article from 2013 that was from www.linuxgamingnews.org
Alan has been a Community Manager at Canonical primarily working on Ubuntu for devices but is pretty much anywhere and everywhere that Ubuntu is.
He first encountered Linux in the mid-1990s, and ran Red Hat then Debian on the desktop and server until Ubuntu Warty came out. Alan has been using Ubuntu since 4.10 – the Warty Warthog and never looked back.
Previously Alan spent 13 years working as a system admin on some evil German proprietary software, but did what he could for Ubuntu and Linux in his spare time.
Alan became an Ubuntu member in 2006 and has in the past been the contact person for the UK LoCo team, a member of the LoCo Council and a member of the EMEA Membership board and the Community Council. He quite dislikes forums. Alan likes cats.
Setup and ran the Screencast Team which aimed to create a set of tutorial videos for new Ubuntu users. As part of that he managed the Ubuntu Screencasts Site. Since then Alan has now handed this over to another Ubuntu member.
Often runs development releases of Ubuntu early in the cycle to provide testing, bug reporting and triage help.
Helping to organise OGGCamp – a barcamp style unconference.
UBP has around 3,000 core subscribers with each episode downloaded about 10,000 times. You also recently hit 1.4 million downloads which is quite an achievement for a niche podcast.

Welcome to Destination Linux for 10-30-17
This week we will be covering………….

LXqt
Xubuntu
Antix
Linux Mint and the latest gaming news
But first, we have a viewer email
“I bought a second hand hdd from a sale the local school had. It’s a 2tb western digital blue I installed it, got it mounted and used it for about an hour before it became inaccessible. Reformatting at this point left me w a chunk of inaccessible data. Now either hdparm or disks put its status as frozen. From my understanding this can be fixed by power cycling the hdd without power cycling the computer? I’m wondering if this will be a continuous problem on this drive? Would the easiest solution be to put it in an external case?” Eric
Borderlands 2. I’ve put over a dozen hours into this triple A title and believe its one of the best FPS shooters of all time second to Doom 2016. Ridiculous laugh out loud humor, great story, amazing graphics, fantastic soundtrack. A must have title that’s native to Linux. The Prequel is just as amazing.

Episode 39: Destination Linux EP39 – The Bit You Should Read
Oct 02, 2017
Welcome to Episode 39 of Destination Linux for 10/02/17
Correction from last week
Just to set things straight, ArchMerge is a separate project from ArchLabs with a completely separate team. There is no collaboration between ArchLabs and ArchMerge and they have a completely different vision about a distro. They each go their own way. I apologize for confusing the two together.
Last year OMGubuntu ran a poll asking how which version of Ubuntu you use: 32-bit or 64-bit. The results of that poll revealed that 92% run Ubuntu 64-bit already.
This week has been full of Half Life 2 gameplay. It’s a relic that’s sat in my Summer Sale games archive for a while and considered by many to be one of the best games ever created by Valve. I’ve finally broken it out and starting to play through the story. It runs beautifully on Linux and so far find the very hurried pace and a solid story to be incredibly engaging. The fact that I am playing this means Half-Life 3 is confirmed!

Episode 36: Destination Linux EP36 – Eddie Vassallo of StationX
Sep 11, 2017
Welcome to Episode 36 of Destination Linux for 09-11-17
A Big Welcome and thank you to Eddie from StationX for joining us on Destination Linux. Eddie is such a great down to earth guy who loves Linux as much as we do. This is what sets Stationx apart from other companies so we welcome you to support them when thinking of making your next purchase.
In this episode, we talk about how the company started and what the goal is. We cover their fantastic line of computers and a surprise announcement that you won’t want to miss. It was a great conversation to be a part of and we hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
Solus 3 has had quite the reception but the work continues including a TO-DO list posted on Solus site for all the features, enhancements and bug fixes they’re working on. https://dev.solus-project.com/T4235
Some High Priority Items that are being worked on I think will be refreshing for many
Third Party support is one of the pain points I’ve heard and Ikey and the team have taken note. They’re going to be working on improvements to third party offerings in SNAP, upgrade improvements, and potentially more third party options.
X-Stack upgrades to help with compatibility with APU + AMD GPU combos
Improvements to Nautilus and Samba support
Preston package and licensing scanning and ferryd for faster indexing and syncing of repos.
I’m currently listening to this week’s episode of Destination Linux, & I have a suggestion about GRUB that may be useful. If you want Ubiquity to not install grub, running “ubiquity -b” will be of use to you. In my experience, it hasn’t stopped Ubuntu from automatically mounting my EFI partition when I log into my Ubuntu partition, but it does prevent Ubuntu from overwriting the existing GRUB on the EFI partition. I hope this helps.
Hey I really like the way you had your guest Co-Host, both entertaining and informative. I really liked your interview with Martin Wimpress especially just before getting to meet him at Linuxfest Northwest! Great guy from a rural area like myself. So I have a problem I thought I’d ask you about? Hey has anyone else seen this: In Clementine the Spotify plugin no longer works correctly. I used to be able to access saved music and playlists. But now I can’t see my spotify playlists. It will however play an old saved Clementine playlist from before things broke. Thanks guys, keep up the great work! aka Ruralgeek
Some very kind Youtube comments on the show last week which shows how good the Linux community can be. All of them are much appreciated

Episode 28: Destination Linux EP28 – Time Will Tell
Jul 16, 2017
All LXQt components are based on the freshest 0.11 branch
NewMoon (PaleMoon) web browser
“We tried our best to release a really very light distro, so in the end it’s a basic LXQt with no desktop effects and very light but functional software which fits into 512MB RAM”
The Whisker application menu was upgraded to version 1.7.2
Launchers can now be edited from the context menu. Desktop actions are now supported. Category names can be hidden in the preferences. Applications load immediately. This new version also brings translation updates and bug fixes.
The xfwm4 window manager was upgraded to version 4.13 to bring the following improvements:VSync support to prevent screen tearing Support for scaled cursor when zooming Bug fixes and I18n improvements
Admin Linux is Everywhere Apparel designed by Michael Tunnel
The ideo is that …………….Linux is so widely spread that it is very likely everyone uses it everyday, whether they know it or not. Linux powers about 80% of the Internet, 100% of Android devices (phones and tablets), 100% of Chromebooks, Chromecasts, Roku, and so much more.
Multiple Colors
Small to 5XL and even Tall with LT to 4XT
Available shipping to pretty much anywhere.
Shirt, hoodie, long sleeve t-shirt, women’s t-shirt or a sticker
Supports home folder encryption (experimental feature) Fix for partition boot flags for certain systems
Autoinstall now works for UEFI systems.
Official Adobe Flash included on the iso, with permission from Adobe. MX-Flash is not on the iso and is now deprecated. Adobe Flash package will work with BOTH Firefox AND Chromium (includes original classic NPAPI and the PPAPI plugins ie: pepperflash)
New default theme and new MX-Linux wallpapers.
MX-Defaultlook and MX Panel Orientation have been merged.
MX-Defaultlook now includes options for “top or bottom” placement of the horizontal bar, Improved backup and restore
New MX-Packageinstaller, (as a supplement to synaptic)
Updated Manual in html and pdf formats.
apt-notifier has many bug fixes, right-click menu improvements, and a choice of icon themes under preferences (classic vs. mx16).
Icons can now be automatically aligned on a grid, either in lines or in columns. They can also be automatically sorted in various ways: By name, by size, by type or by modified date.
You can also change desktop icon sizes with a click of a button, and desktop icons are now handled in their own separate process, which isn’t tied to other nemo windows.
Cinnamon Spices
Cinnamon Spices website was rewritten from scratch
The goal wasn’t only to make it look better. More secure than before and attempting to guarantee better quality and better compatibility
The site supports oauth authentication via Google, Facebook and Github so you can comment and like your favorite spices
The maintenance of the spices themselves was moved to Github and every single change is now reviewed by the Linux Mint team to guarantee spices cannot be used for malicious purposes
Anyone can provide bug fixes and translations to Cinnamon spices
Both the Authors and the Linux Mint team is now directly involved in the maintenance of all Cinnamon spices. Many spices were removed, many were fixed, many were updated and the team is now able to add support to spices not only for current versions of Cinnamon but even for upcoming ones.
We’re getting closer and closer to a situation where everything “just works”, where quality spices are easy to find and where they work in your language.
Adds PPA’s, etc like welcome. But a 3rd party – may want to check what it is adding.
Seems to need a lot of BG access – expected.
Some of the option like repairing PPA actually rely on other tools that need to be installed from 3rd party PPA’s – but no dependency, just not found – like the y-ppa-manager, but available in the options to install.
Some updates for the other OS’s like mac notifications
30 some bug fixes
To avoid over-prompting users, Chrome will now temp stop an origin from requesting a permission following the third dismissal of that permission request.
Some cosmetic changes like a material design overhaul in the settings page
The Image Capture API allows higher resolution images than before. That means developers get full control over camera settings such as zoom, ISO, and white balance.
Just thought I’d give a shout out to my new favourite podcast, thank you both for all of your hard work, and on your respective YouTube channels too.
As self-confessed distro-hoppers I was wondering if you could discuss elementary os and maybe a focus on minimalism in distros – being ill right now gave me an epiphany that I used to distro-hop like crazy until I landed on elementary. When I started using it, I felt trapped because it’s not as flexible as (for example) KDE and hated it until I realised that it has its own work flow that prevented me from breaking it – now I rely on it and can’t imagine switching. Is this minimalist approach key to stability in the Linux desktop? When I can configure a desktop, I find I will and then I inevitably switch to another distro when I break it – but when I can’t tinker with it, I get things done more effectively and am more likely to stick with it.
Sorry for the short essay, thanks, and keep up the great work!
Kind regards, William Willis Whinn

Episode 21: Destination Linux EP21 – Time to Time
May 15, 2017
Welcome to Destination Linux Episode 21 for 05-12-17
I listened to the MP3 ‘Destination Linux Update’ dated 20th April 17 on Podbean. The last regular episode I had was Number 14 dated 1st April 17. I’m sorry you’ve been having problems and really like the show. However, I resubscribed to the show and still had the same episode listings as before.
I don’t understand the finer details of podcasting and subscriptions and so I’m wondering how it is that I got nothing from Episode 14 apart from the ‘Update’? Surely, if I got the ‘Update’, I’d at least get every episode since then?
Thanks for bearing with me and for your help in my Linux journey.
Best wishes
Andrew

Hey guys great to see you finally have a real website. And thanks for the referral message. My Podcast Addict still had the old feed and I was beginning to wonder was going on. Enjoy the show, and really enjoy the “safe for work” aspect of the show. And while I listen to other podcasts, many I can’t recommend to others.
BTW- The Email link and the Telegram links don’t work.
Keep up good work! Thanks,
David

Hi Rob & Rocco
With the never-ending nonsense from YouTube regarding flagging videos for no logical reason, etc. – would ye guys consider moving to another video site? I recommend Dailymotion. Additionally ye could upload your videos (past & future) to archive.org. Torin
—————————————————————————————————————–
Hi guys
Absolutely love the Destination Linux podcast & both of your own YouTube channels. Fantastic work!
I’d be interested to find out if either of you have tried Chakra? https://chakralinux.org/
I’ve recently started to run Chakra as my daily driver and find it to be a superb KDE implementation. By far the best Linux distribution to fit my needs.
From what I can tell they’ve been going a few years now & came up with the idea of a half-rolling release model long before Linux Mint or KDE Neon.
I don’t see many reviews or videos available for Chakra & I believe they deserve much more attention.
I’d really appreciate any thoughts or comments! Kind Regards
Mark

Hello: Rob & Rocco
Just wanted to tell you all, that the new Ubuntu Mate 17.04 does not work on my system. Big deal! That’s not a deal killer for me i will just use something else. What works for me. ( fedora 25 ) yes like all the distro’s they are all in need of some work. I will say to you guy’s keep doing what you are doing. Your shows are for everyone to enjoy. And i do, Those who don’t like what you say about distros or the comments, or reviews don’t need to complain. If they want to do a disto review. just jump right in, and do your own assessment of the distros. And they can then put on their big boy pants, and see what happens! Everyone is a expert but the expert!
Love the show, reviews and guests. Keep going it is all good and fun.

Hi guys, great channel – loving the weekly shows. I don’t know if you already have one, but have you considered creating a Patreon page as a way to accept donations? Happy to contribute in a small way, as I’m sure others are, towards the cost of keeping the doors open :-). Keep up the great shows guys.

LazX
Hey Rocco, I wanted to give another UPDATE on LADSPA (Pulseaudio Dynamic Range Comression) aka Audio Output Normalization.
Laz
Instructions for the Fix ============================================================== 1) Make sure gedit is installed (sudo get-apt install gedit)
2) We need to install 3 items: (Synaptic Package Manager recommended) Pulseaudio (if not installed) pavucontrol (if not installed) swh-plugins
3)Type in konsole: sudo gedit /etc/pulse/default.pa *(nano doesn’t work)
4) Scroll to the bottom of the file “/etc/pulse/default.pa” and add the following lines:
6) Open pavucontrol and choose LADSPA output module (this may not actually look like it’s selected, but the icon of the output device should say “LADSPA stream on”
7) Then set each Application output to the LADSPA module.
Update system installer with full screen support. It provides a fuzzy background, facilitate auto detection of location and time and also provide QR code scan feature for providing feedback.
Ships Linux Kernel 4.9.8 which has more drivers for modern hardware components. It provides better stability and reliability
Better font rendering which resolves popup hints.
Enables ability to set different backgrounds in each virtual desktop
Provides better gesture support.
Optimized hot corner experience and better interaction design
A new Alt + Tab window switching feature. This was a long awaited feature in budgie desktop and it was developed by offering a prize.
Budgie 10.3 provides more options for customization. You can customize clock applet. Also, raven – the control cum notification center – includes a new option to switch window controls to either left or right.
budgie 10.3 includes integration with recent release of gnome stack, ie, gnome 3.22+ Art work download is supported with MprisClient and it addresses a bug which was more visible with Spotify.
Resolved the inability to pin GNOME Twitch via the Icon Tasklist
Resolved incorrect vertical alignment of the Clock Applet
Now ensure tray icons are evenly spaced, as a result of syncing our natray with upstream gnome-panel.
Improvements have been made to the Places applet
Solus Releases ISO Snapshot 2017.04.18.0
Bulletproof boot management out-of-the-box, leveraging clr-boot-manager to enable the maintenance and garbage collection of kernels, as well as configuration of the bootloader
“Snaps continue for Ubuntu and other distributions (now Fedora, openSUSE, Debian and others). They will also integrate fully with GNOME, KDE, and I hope Elementary, MATE, etc. too,” said Mark Shuttleworth. “They are an amazingly clean way to deliver apps and since most of the major software companies target Ubuntu this is a good way to enable other distros to benefit too.”
I always used to have this problem. Instead of a reboot I found online (can’t remember where) using ‘Sudo systemctl restart network-manager’ Worked and prevented a reboot.
The problem stopped recently for me. However my upgrade to 16.04.2 coincided with a change of ISP and router. Didn’t think until I listened to this episode that I hadn’t pinned the problem to the router or wifI driver (I use broadcom with kernel firmware)
destination linux is really a great , show! i wanted to comment on the kde sound switching issue. when you click on the sound icon in system tray, switch to the applications tab, there you can drag an drop the application sounds to your audio devices, there are also options in the sound settings, to change the behavior of the switching (change just one application or change all apllications at once for exampe).
keep on the great work.
greetings from germany

Thank you Martin for spending some of your time with us
Rob, I’ve been thinking about this for the past few weeks.
What are your thoughts on whether or not the Linux distros should seriously begin thinking about making the desktop UIs more touch friendly? I ask this because as you know, more and more ultrabooks and even some of the desktop all-in-one PCs have touch screens nowadays.
By and large the Linux desktop user interfaces are still primarily mouse and keyboard focused. Perhaps the Unity desktop comes the closest to being more touch friendly, but then there’s the question of the applications that are written for Linux as well. Not that I’m suggesting that mouse and keyboard go away, but just provide touch capabilities as well. The OS could add support for touchpad gestures, etc.
Just wondering what your thoughts are? May be a good discussion for you and Rocco on Destination Linux. I know you have the Solus guy on there a week or so ago. Perhaps he has some thoughts on this.

From Alan
Heyo! After watching the last podcast, I really took a step back to look at the very core concepts of Linux. Even after using nothing but Linux for over a year and a half, I really find it fascinating
From Torin
* How did ye come up with your usernames?
* Regarding the AUR — even though dodgy software is unlikely — isn’t there always a trust issue.
Cheers guys.

Episode 5: Destination Linux EP05 – Back to Basics
Apr 03, 2017
Welcome to Destination Linux Episode 05 Back To Basics for 1-14-17
Truly sad news from Ikey Doherty
“Solus won’t ever have the AUR”
We discuss breaking down GNU/Linux into its simplest form
Adding PPA’s or Repositories and the example we used was adding the Brisk Menu to Ubuntu.
The Revenge Installer is a program made by our friend Jody James, which is a Graphical Installer for Arch Linux to make installing vanilla arch an easy task. It walks you through the steps by asking you questions and before you know it, you will have a brand new plain vanilla arch with the desktop of your choice.
Thank you Jody, for all of the hard work you put into it.
I was wondering if there is a way to normalize the master audio output in Linux. I love Linux but don’t like playing movies or music because the audio out is not normalized and I have manually adjust the volume levels constantly. In Windows I use K Lite codec pack which has a plugin option to normalize the main audio out, but I can’t seem to find a way to do this in Linux. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
We Have an Answer!
(gzenum2) – Viewer to Destination Linux
Hey guys, great show, loving it !
Had the same problem with normalizing sound and this is how I solve it, it’s pretty easy, in your distribution find and install LADSPA plugins, then just edit /etc/pulse/default.pa and add this two lines at the end :

I have successfully installed Ubuntu Mate 16.04 LTS on my Mac Mini as a dual boot system. I also got rEfind installed manually on my Mac. The thing is that rEfind can’t seam to boot Ubuntu. I did figure out how to boot into it from a recovery boot in Advanced Systems. I have it all setup, and it is working well, except for that. Do you have any sage advice that could help me solve that boot up problem?

I can’t believe it, but I solved the problem myself. I was searching the Internet, and I saw the word “nomodeset”. I used that command to launch the live disk. I thought,,, “Of course”. I found a web page that told me how to edit my grub file to make it permanent, and … It worked!!! Hooray!

I get that you use Antergos a lot from your videos. Antergos installer (cnchi) has a hidden mode also which lets you chose some other unlisted desktop environment which is not generally available. Its for developer, but heck most of the rolling releases are, that never stopped us from trying them right. To use it quit the installer, open terminal and type “sudo cnchi -dvz” . Contact me if you enjoy it.
Viewer Question LAZ X
I was wondering if there is a way to normalize the master audio output in Linux. I love Linux but don’t like playing movies or music because the audio out is not normalized and I have manually adjust the volume levels constantly. In Windows I use K Lite codec pack which has a plugin option to normalize the main audio out, but I can’t seem to find a way to do this in Linux. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
We apologize for the switch and any inconvenience it might cause but it will benefit everybody in the long run.
Thanks for Watching
