In this episode of Destination Linux, we discuss the Fairphone 6's modular design for sustainability and its role in addressing e-waste. We engage with listener feedback, notably Frank's story about essential tremors, highlighting the importance of tech accessibility. Our conversation also covers Wayback, a Wayland compositor enhancing compatibility with X11, and the impact of Valve’s Proton integration on Linux gaming. We celebrate Linux reaching a 5% desktop market share and introduce IP Lookup, a useful tool for IP information. All this and much more!
