This week, we cover Windows adding sudo, Ubuntu failing with KDE 6, and the Kernel finally getting some Continuous Integration. Google is spending a million bucks to make Rust and C++ play nice, Microsoft is giving developers another 12 months to use out-of-date Ubuntu with VSCode, and there's some neat Raspberry Pi news to share. For tips there's Grub2Win, the Github arm-runner-action, a bit of explanation on PCIe bifurcation, and a howto on diff.

This week we've got news about Ubuntu's reeealy long-term support release, OBS adding more Pipewire support, and a new way to manage your daemons. Then there's lots of fun in kernel land, as a proposal to add C++ to the kernel is capturing some attention, Linux Torvalds is snowed out and offline, and Intel's latest graphical driver needed a bit more testing before pushing. Then Fedora keeps working on its Machine Learning stack, and Cosmic is getting close to shipping an Alpha. For tips we have mcomix for your obscure digital comic book formats, and darling to try running MacOS binaries on Linux.

This week, we cover artificial intelligence in Linux, Mesa 24 is wringing even more performance out of Radeon ray-tracing, and Archcraft makes a compelling case for installing on that old machine with not enough RAM for anything else. Then there's Zen 5 news, video acceleration for Chromium on Wayland, MX Linux on your Pi, and the annual report from the Linux Foundation. For tips, we have the puter in a browser, gpioinfo for wrangling your gpiochips, a CURRTIME function for tracking system time, and apt search for finding that package you can't quite remember.

Last year, we had some predictions about what 2023 would bring. How'd we do? There's some news to cover from the past two weeks, like the release of the Fedora Asahi spin, Wayland *not* breaking everything, and the very cursed diagonal monitor mode that only Linux supports. SystemD adds encrypted boot support, Chimera OS might be worth a look for your HTPC, and the Fedora stearing committe is weighing a round of interesting changes for Fedora 40, like unifying /bin and /sbin. Then we cover predictions for 2024, like the importance of Ubuntu's next LTS, AMD's GPU outlook, the future of Cosmic, and how exciting 2024 is going to be for desktop Linux users. We cover our favorite tips from the year, and sneak in a couple more aliases you might want to use.

This week the team assembles again to talk about IDEs, Kernel optimizations, and money for Open Source. There's a philosophical discussion about too many distros, coverage of the OBS-Studio beta, and several distro updates. For tips, there's Mangohud for performance monitoring, duf for better disk usage information, vtm as a slick terminal multiplexer, and dpkg-divert for hacking distro package management.
