422: Rustification of Linux, Arch wants Sponsors, VirtualBox to the rescue & more

video: https://youtu.be/xf54vJrXB0o

This week on Destination Linux, Captain Jill, Ryan, and Michael chart a course through the latest open-source headlines: VirtualBox 7.1.10 lands with fresh kernel and ARM love, Ubuntu plots a daring switch to a Rust-powered sudo-rs, and Arch Linux eyes transparent sponsorships (hey there, Valve!). Plus, a spirited listener debate on GrapheneOS, iOS privacy, and why security still matters—alongside our agentless friends at Sandfly Security. Buckle up, sync your repos, and keep flying with us!
