Welcome to Destination Linux, where we discuss the latest news, hot topics, gaming, mobile, and all things Open Source & Linux. Also this week, Pine64 recently shared some news about bringing their PineNote back from the depths of Hades. Plus we got some Linux Gaming, and our Software Spotlight, and more.
