In Distro News we got new releases from Nitrux, BunsenLabs Linux and Gecko Linux. Then we'll tackle the big Security News for GRUB2 called BootHole that came out this week.

https://destinationlinux.network
On this episode of This Week in Linux, we've got some big Distro News from Linux Mint, openSUSE and there may be a way to have a Rolling Release of Ubuntu now. We've also got some Linux Mobile news thats to the team at XDA Developers making it possible to put Ubuntu Touch from UBports on a lot of Android based devices. We're going to talk about a new Kickstarter that is going on right now to develop a Raspberry Pi based Tablet called the CutiePi. In App News, were going to talk about a new Task Manager app called Planner and there's some changes coming to the Matrix Client, Riot.im which is much needed so I am excited for that. We've also got some odd news from Microsoft as they have decided to release an Antivirus for Linux called Microsoft Defender ATP. Apple recently announced they are dropping Intel for their own processor platform and we'll discuss how that will relate to people wanting to run Linux on that hardware. Then we'll round out the show with some awesome Humble Bundles that are live right now. All that and much more on Your Weekly Source for Linux GNews!
