Comment on the TWIL Forum

This week in Linux, we've got a bunch of new releases from the super popular open source office suite LibreOffice to a couple releases from Mozilla and one of the best open source video editors has a new release with Kdenlive. We're also going to take a look back at seven years of Proton as we celebrate the current state of Linux gaming. Plus, CachyOS is currently on the rise as they just took the number one spot on DistroWatch. We'll talk about what that means and what it doesn't. All of this and 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. And we are so close to 100,000 subscribers for the channel. If you haven't subscribed yet, please do. Now, let's jump right into Your Source for Linux GNews.
