We also unpack listener feedback about phone‑addiction myths and mindful smartphone use. Then we discuss Moonshot’s open‑source Kimi AI model that tackles two‑million‑character prompts and beats proprietary LLM benchmarks, sparking a wider chat about open AI guardrails and Linux’s role under the hood. Later, there's some bittersweet news that Intel is discontinuing its performance‑tuned Clear Linux distro, prompting nostalgia and debate over rolling vs. hybrid releases. Our tip of the week highlights a crowd‑sourced Linux guide that demystifies getting started with Ubuntu especially for network engineers.Forum Discussion Thread (https://destinationlinux.net/forum)Download as MP3 (https://aphid.fireside.fm/d/1437767933/32f28071-0b08-4ea1-afcc-37af75bd83d6/17fb8c1f-d90d-4b20-ae21-255561ec5c8b.mp3)Support the show by becoming a patron at tuxdigital.com/membership (https://tuxdigital.com/membership) or get some swag at tuxdigital.com/store (https://tuxdigital.com/store)Hosted by:Ryan (DasGeek) = dasgeek.net (https://dasgeek.net)Jill Bryant = jilllinuxgirl.com (https://jilllinuxgirl.com)Michael Tunnell = michaeltunnell.com (https://michaeltunnell.com)Chapters:00:00:00 Intro00:02:18 Community Feedback00:10:20 Sandfly Security Scoop00:23:15 Defcon VS Blackhat00:29:31 OpenSource AI Kimi00:47:38 Clear Linux OS & Intel's future01:03:49 Community Tip and Trick01:09:13 Support the Show01:12:43 Outro01:13:07 Post ShowLinks:Community Feedbackhttps://destinationlinux.net/comments (https://destinationlinux.net/comments)https://destinationlinux.net/forum (https://destinationlinux.net/forum)Sandfly Security Scoophttps://destinationlinux.net/sandfly (https://destinationlinux.net/sandfly)https://sandflysecurity.com/blog/sandfly-5-5-ai-powered-analysis-advanced-bpfdoor-detection-and-smarter-scanning (https://sandflysecurity.com/blog/sandfly-5-5-ai-powered-analysis-advanced-bpfdoor-detection-and-smarter-scanning)Defcon VS Blackhathttps://defcon.org/ (https://defcon.org/)https://www.blackhat.com/ (https://www.blackhat.com/)OpenSource AI Kimihttps://www.kimi.com/ (https://www.kimi.com/)https://huggingface.co/spaces/Jhawley/moonshotai-Kimi-K2-Instruct (https://huggingface.co/spaces/Jhawley/moonshotai-Kimi-K2-Instruct)Clear Linux OS & Intel's futurehttps://community.clearlinux.org/t/all-good-things-come-to-an-end-shutting-down-clear-linux-os/10716 (https://community.clearlinux.org/t/all-good-things-come-to-an-end-shutting-down-clear-linux-os/10716)https://news.itsfoss.com/clear-linux-os-discontinued/ (https://news.itsfoss.com/clear-linux-os-discontinued/)https://www.omglinux.com/intel-clear-linux-os-discontinued-2025/ (https://www.omglinux.com/intel-clear-linux-os-discontinued-2025/)Community Tip and Trickhttps://rikosintie.github.io/Ubuntu4NetworkEngineers/CH02-Install-Tools/ (https://rikosintie.github.io/Ubuntu4NetworkEngineers/CH02-Install-Tools/)Support the Showhttps://tuxdigital.com/membership (https://tuxdigital.com/membership)https://store.tuxdigital.com/ (https://store.tuxdigital.com/)
