Forum Discussion Thread (https://forum.tuxdigital.com/t/267-raspberry-pi-ipo-tuxedo-snapdragon-laptop-valve-lawsuit-opensuse-leap-more-linux-news/6268)
This week in Linux we saw some big releases from openSUSE, Mozilla, and more. We're also going to take a look at a new prototype laptop from TUXEDO Computers that I am very excited about. Then we'll jump into everyone's favorite segment, Legal News, because Valve is being sued for apparently overcharging gamers even though its much cheaper than buying games on console . . . hmm. All of this and more on this episode of This Week in Linux, Your Source for Linux GNews!

Naive point of view, IMO.
are there another platform to get your wonderful podcasts? I'm on castbox and this is shit
since you do a recap of the previous week of linux, and DLN's forum will be first discussion about linux. Would you mind possibly doing a section about summarizing interesting posts/discussions from the previous week on the forums? (like how you talked about the Microsoft thing, but do a recap every week? )
10:46: That is am amazing feature! How have I never known about that! (move windows around with Alt button) thank you so much for these DE tips/ tricks.
44:20: how do you do the segment index? is it manual or are you automatically generate it somehow?
36:55: I would be intrested in how you all are handling tutorials. Also, I would love to be able to contribute as well.
MIPS sounds impressive. I'm quite excited to see people hunting bugs in 7-Zip. I've heard that archives can be compromised in a really crazy way, and execute code in some instances. Mostly making Windows vulnerable, but you never know. It could be Linus as well.
I don't trust Linus anymore. He already appears to be embracing the "new direction." It's alleged that he has some Fembot Thot girlfriend, and he's going to destroy the sanctity of the Best Of The Best approach, in favor of pandering to liberalism. Any idiot with half a brain can figure out it's a corporate espionage and infiltration scheme to destroy anything good that outsiders have ( i.e. NORMAL SANE PEOPLE). It's everywhere. Sanity is blocked from every medium. Created your own platform like Gab? No problem. BLOCKED by Host, or ISP, or payment processor.
