On this weeks episode, we’re going to discuss a very Vanilla OS and there's also a new desktop environment we're going to be talking about that's not very vanilla, but is very alpha. Welcome to Destination Linux, where we discuss the latest news, hot topics, gaming, mobile, and all things open source and Linux. Also this week, we might get to the Firefox news that we were planning to talk about for three weeks now. So let’s get this show on the road toward Destination Linux!
