Comment on the TWIL Forum

This week in Linux, we've got new releases from some under the hood projects like FFmpeg and QEMU. There's a new software store for Linux that is exclusively focused on Flatpaks. CachyOS is back on the show again with a brand new release and we've also got a bit of drama to cover this week. There's some drama going on with the SuperTuxKart project and Google has decided that sideloading on Android has to go. 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. Now, let's jump right into Your Source for Linux GNews!
