    On this episode of This Week in Linux, we've got a lot of exciting news and even some "is this really happening?" news. First of all, the Beta for Fedora 33 with Btrfs is out now for testing. OBS Studio has released version 26.0 and there is so much awesome stuff in this release . . . I just love this application! We've also got a couple updates for some topics from previous episodes, KWinFT Project has hit Beta and Thunderbird has a new release that allows for direct upgrades. Unity Technologies has announced something they are calling 'Open Projects' which is an Open Source Game Development campaign that is very interesting! We've got a LOT of App Releases to talk about this week with the Geary (Email Client) 3.38, Virt Manager 3.0, and two new applications that are quite interesting which are Cabin: a tool to create simple apps for Linux with natural language programming, and an app that helps you find duplicates, big files, empty folders, etc called Czkawka. And in the "is this really happening" segment . . . apparently Purism has decided to create their own Cellular Service for a phone that still doesn't exist.

EndeavourOS has a new release of this Arch Linux based distro with version 2020.09.20 and they also announced a new ARM Edition of the distro. GNOME has decided to change the version numbering for the project. We'll talk about this and why it matters or why it doesn't. There's a new update to the very powerful ebook reader Calibre, with Calibre 5.0. We'll check out the Screenshot Utility, Flameshot and their latest release of 0.8.
