Comment on the TWIL Forum
This week in Linux, we have a lot to talk about with the Linux kernel getting, or maybe not getting, Rusty. There's a little bit of drama there. Also, the Void Linux project has a new release of their distribution. EA has provided an update regarding Apex Legends and Linux. It's not great news, but we're gonna talk about it. There's also a tiny Linux kernel tweak that could save 30% on power use for data centers. And all of this and so much more on this week in Linux, the weekly news show that keeps you up to date with what's going on in the Linux and Open Source world. Now let's jump right into Your Source for Linux GNews.

video: https://youtu.be/LQTqcC0TI-o
Comment on the TWIL Forum
This week in Linux was kind of insane . . . in a good way because the Wine Project hit the big 1-0 with Wine 10. AMD announced something called the AMDGPU Composition Stack and it has a ton of potential for positively impacting the Linux desktop. Intel announced a modular PC idea they are trying to push that could positively impact everyone even including the environment. Then we got the latest release of SDL which will positively impact gamers and so many more. All of this and more on This Week in Linux, the weekly news show that keeps you up to date with what’s going on in the Linux and Open Source world.

January 19, 2025294: Linux 6.13, Linux Mint 22.1, Rsync Security Bugs, openSUSE & more Linux news
video: https://youtu.be/qAHxogc8QTc
Comment on the TWIL Forum
This week in Linux, we have a brand new version of the Linux kernel to talk about. Well, maybe. Technically, the 6.13 release is not until this Sunday, and I'm recording this before Sunday, so we're just going to roll the dice, and hopefully it doesn't get delayed. Also, we have some distro news this week to talk about with a new release from Linux Mint, MX Linux, and OpenSUSE. We also have some security news related to the rsync project, as well as a big flaw that was found in the Linux kernel. We're gonna talk about all of this and so much more on This Week in Linux, your weekly news show that keeps you up to date with what's going on in the Linux and Open Source world. Now let's jump right into Your Source for Linux GNews.

December 09, 2024289: Cinnamon Desktop, COSMIC Alpha 4, NixOS, Flathub LLC & more Linux news
video: https://youtu.be/rT1HH6BfBPQ
Forum Discussion Thread
This week in Linux, we have so many cool things to talk about. It's kind of absurd. In fact, it's so much, I had to skip a few things. I have enough for two episodes this week, and more, actually, there's a little more than that. So it was kind of hard to pick what to cover. Maybe I'll make some follow-up content this coming week with some stuff to cover that we didn't have a chance to put in the episode. But this week, we have many new releases to talk about, like the Cinnamon Desktop. NixOS has a new version out. And we got an update for the fourth alpha of the System76's COSMIC Desktop. Then we have some really cool news from Flatpak and KDE. All of this and so much more on This Week in Linux, the weekly news show that keeps you up to date with what's going on in the Linux and Open Source world. Now let's jump right into Your Source for Linux GNews.
