This Week in Linux

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.

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.

Fedora Linux 40 is out, Ubuntu 24.04 LTS is out, Nextcloud has a new release of Nextcloud Hub and the release notes feel like they never end, the Flathub has released a new design refresh making it even better to use Flatpaks, and we recently had an awesome interview on the Destination Linux podcast that I gotta tell you about and all of this in one episode. I mean there's so much just in the Ubuntu topic that I didn't have time to cover the flavours, I'll tell you about those next week. Yea, this is going to be one of those episodes.

https://youtu.be/w-F1Exi4o0U Forum Discussion Thread This week's news is exciting with cool new stuff and pretty bonkers because we narrowly avoided a security nightmare! A backdoor was discovered hidden in a common Linux utility, and it could have infected millions of devices. We'll break down how this almost happened, and what it means for you. Then, we'll switch gears and talk about some exciting upcoming features in Linux Mint 22. Fedora Linux might be getting a whole new look – we'll discuss a proposal to switch the default desktop environment. Flathub is making some changes to make it easier to indentify whether or not a Flatpak is official. Plus there is a new campaign for video game preservation that targets companies effectively breaking their games after an arbitary amount of time.
