May 16, 2021 151: FragAttacks WiFi Flaws, System76 Keyboard, Framework Modular Laptop | This Week in Linux
On this episode of This Week in Linux, we've got a lot of great news to get to. We'll first check out some Hardware News as PreOrders are now available for the Framework Modular Laptop and System76's new Keyboard. KDE announced the Beta release for Plasma 5.22 and I personally have given it a test run already and can easily say I am very excited about this release. Then we'll jump to the Linux Mobile market to check out the latest release for Ubuntu Touch with OTA-17 and we've got some updates for the JingPad A1 Linux tablet. Later in the show, we've got an update for the Audacity Telemetry topic we discussed last week and we'll check out some Wi-Fi Security Flaws that were revealed this week. All that and much more on Your Weekly Source for Linux GNews!
