video: https://youtu.be/9P4ki0yBVb0 This week in Linux, we’ve got a solid mix of kernel news, desktop progress, application releases, and even a little bit drama thrown in for good measure. Several Linux LTS kernels are getting extended support, COSMIC Desktop 1.0.8 has landed with more polish, Firefox 148 is out with some notable changes, and the Ladybird browser project is making a big move by adding Rust to its development strategy. On top of that, Discord has officially delayed its global age verification rollout after significant backlash, so we’ll break down what happened there and what it means going forward.

video: https://youtu.be/2188McQBnHg This week in Linux, was a HUGE week for Linux news and it was also a HUGE week for me because today marks the 10th anniversary of TuxDigital. That's right I started TuxDigital back in 2016 so it's just crazy to think I've been making content for 10 years. Also KDE has a brand new version of their desktop with Plasma 6.6. We've also got a new version of Linux game manager, Lutris. Then we've got an update from the Asahi Linux project for their work on getting Linux on Apple hardware. Later in the show, we've got everyone's favorite with Legal News, although seriously this is good news about Valve winning a lawsuit against a Patent Troll.

336: Linux 6.19, Discord Age Verification, KDE Linux, Linux Mint Changes, & more Linux news
video: https://youtu.be/qMIdMJnqNkE This week in Linux, we have a brand new version of the Linux kernel with Linux 6.19. Discord is in the news this week because they decided to roll out age verification to the entire world and received a lot of backlash for it... which is very much deserved. Linux Mint is talking about changing how they do releases of their distros and how they might do fewer of them. Then we'll take a look at the upcoming KDE Linux distro and what they've got cooking in their immutable oven.

321: Intel nixes Clear Linux, 6% Market Share, Arch Malware, EU FOSS Funding & more Linux news
video: https://youtu.be/ucGrNLdsql0 Comment on the TWIL Forum This week in Linux, we've got a bit of bad news from Intel as they abruptly ended Clear Linux out of no where and Arch Linux warned users that malware was found in the AUR. It's not all bad this week though because Wayback is back on the show with the first preview release for keeping X11 desktops alive in our future Wayland powered world. Plus according to one source, Linux usage is even higher than we already thought it was. A couple of episodes ago I reported that we broke the 5% threshold on the US desktop market based on StatCounter data but according to one source it's already climbed passed 6%. What source you ask? The analytics of U.S. federal government websites. Speaking of governments, GitHub is trying to get EU lawmakers to scale Germany’s Sovereign Tech Fund into a EU wide program to fund critical open‑source projects. Also for some more good news, we're so close to hitting 100,000 subscribers on the channel, if you want to help please consider subscribing.

295: Wine 10, SDL 3, AMD dedicates more to Linux, Intel's Modular PCs & more Linux news

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.
