Forum Discussion Thread
This week in Linux we saw some big releases from openSUSE, Mozilla, and more. We're also going to take a look at a new prototype laptop from TUXEDO Computers that I am very excited about. Then we'll jump into everyone's favorite segment, Legal News, because Valve is being sued for apparently overcharging gamers even though its much cheaper than buying games on console . . . hmm.
