This week's episode of the Linux Unplugged podcast dives into some exciting distribution news. KDE is launching its own distribution, KDE Linux (Project Banana), which is based on Arch Linux and features an immutable layer. This new distro aims to be user-friendly for everyday use and compatible with hardware vendors. Meanwhile, GNOME is also working to enhance GNOME OS into a daily driver, adopting a similar immutable strategy. The hosts also explore Technitium, a robust and versatile DNS server known for its intuitive interface and rich features, while discussing the challenges and considerations involved in implementing network-level ad blocking.
