I mean, not walking through that or anything. It's the project called that. Also, the Xen project has a new version of their hypervisor out, and Mozilla is back in the news this week with the latest release of Firefox with 136. Plus, Linux Mint is talking about redesigning their Cinnamon app menu, and so much more, including, Microsoft is hanging up on Skype forever.

video: https://youtu.be/EkFtY_K3sxA Comment on the TWIL Forum This week in Linux, we have a ton of stuff to talk about. There's so much I couldn't fit at all on the show. And even one of the things I wanted to fit in the show, it's by itself too big to be in the show. So I'm going to split that off into a separate video. And there's also a new release of KDE Plasma 6.3. There's a new website for the GNOME project. GIMP 3.0 has another release candidate with RC3. And so much more, including some drama news, OBS studio stuff with Fedora.

video: https://youtu.be/LQTqcC0TI-o Comment on the TWIL Forum This week in Linux was kind of insane . . . in a good way because the Wine Project hit the big 1-0 with Wine 10. 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.

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.
