Old Bugs are getting fixed, like the 20-year-old Enlightenment bug, finally landing per-screen virtual desktops in KDE, and even more X11 vulnerabilities. Mint is making the slower release cadence official, Fedora is pushing 44 off a week, and Tumbleweed is going to systemd-boot. Linux is finally dropping 486 support, Mozilla has announced Thunderbolt, and the FSF has entered the office.
