Comment on the TWIL Forum

This week in Linux, we have a ton to talk about. First, we're gonna be talking about building Linux from Scratch. I mean, not walking through that or anything. It's the project called that. Also, the Xen project has a new version of their hypervisor out, and Mozilla is back in the news this week with the latest release of Firefox with 136. Plus, Linux Mint is talking about redesigning their Cinnamon app menu, and so much more, including, Microsoft is hanging up on Skype forever. All of this and more on This Week in Linux, the weekly news show that keeps you up to date with what's going on in the Linux and Open Source world. So let's jump right into Your Source for Linux GNews
