video: https://youtu.be/BPO50JSnLCU
Comment on the TWIL Forum
This week in Linux, we have a ton of news. In fact, sometimes I have to push stuff off a week, but we're going to do something a little different. We're going to do a bunch of extra topics. We're going to start off with Nobara 42 release. We also have a beta release of KDE Plasma's next version with Plasma 6.4. Then we have some stuff to talk about related to the Deepin desktop and OpenSUSE. And also we have some news for the installer for Arch Linux, as well as a bunch of other things, including whether or not Steam had a data breach. 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. So let's jump right into Your Source for Linux GNews.

309: KDE Plasma's Future, openSUSE Leap 16, Trinity Desktop, Open Source Lab issues & more Linux news
video: https://youtu.be/PtP_jOlAIHE
Comment on the TWIL Forum
This week in Linux, we have a lot of cool stuff to talk about. First, we're going to talk about the future of KDE Plasma. Then we're going to go into the future of OpenSUSE because Leap 16 beta has been released and the final version will be coming out this year. Then we'll also have a new version of Mozilla Firefox. And also we have some interesting news from the Oregon State University because there's some potential risk of closure of their Open Source Lab, which would be a shame. And then we're also going to talk about Redis because they're back in the news this week because they want to redo with Open Source. 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. Now let's jump right into Your Source for Linux GNews.

If that wasn't enough for a stacked episode, LXQt desktop has released version 2.2 and the KDE team have released new versions of all their apps in the KDE Gears app suite.

Comment on the TWIL Forum
This week in Linux, we have so much to talk about. First of all, KDE developers have launched their own company called TechPaladin Software. Also, the CodeWeavers team has released the latest version of their crossover software with Crossover 25. The Garuda Linux team have the latest release of their distribution called Broadwing. And also the EFF, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, has released a new open source tool for detecting Cell Site Simulators called RayHunter. And we'll talk about what all that meant later in the show. 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. Now let's jump right into Your Source for Linux GNews.
