This Week in Linux

video: https://youtu.be/qAHxogc8QTc Comment on the TWIL Forum (https://thisweekinlinux.com/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.

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.
