Destination Linux

On this week’s episode of Destination Linux, we discuss Swap: what it is and the difference between Swap Partitions vs. Swap Files. We also take a different look at Ubuntu 20.04 with the Ubuntu Remix distros, Michael & Noah have an interesting discussion about Ubuntu’s Unity and how that compares to Red Hat’s involvement in the GNOME desktop environment. In Gaming News, Google Stadia back in the news and Rocco gives us his take on the Stadia experience. We’ve also got a lot of great Community Feedback about IT Jobs and more. Later in the show, we’ll give you our Picks for Tips & Tricks as well as our Software Spotlight of the week. All this and much more this week on Destination Linux.
