This week in Linux, we have a ton to talk about. Linux Mint is modernizing their default theme. Then we have a new release of Hyperland, the tiling window manager. We've also got three new distros to talk about. And there's a new release from the Home Assistant project, as well as the Mesa drivers. And GNOME announced their new Executive Director this week. And that's not all. We've got all of that 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.

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.

This week in Linux is one of the most packed episodes we've had all year. It's kind of ridiculous even. We have huge distro releases from Ubuntu with Ubuntu 25.04, Fedora 42, and Manjaro 25. 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. 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!

And Sony, yes, that Sony, has released The Last of Us Part II on PC and it's Steam Deck verified. All that and much more on This Week in Linux, the weekly news show that keeps you plugged into everything happening in the Linux and Open Source world.

This week in Linux, we have a lot of great news to talk about. First, Thunderbird is launching their own email service. KDE is working on making their own Plasma Login Manager. CachyOS has a new release out. We also have another release out for the Mozilla Firefox browser, which has a lot of cool stuff in there I can't wait to tell you about. And also the Dash to Panel extension. There was a little bit of drama that happened with it. It is now back and ready to go. all of this and so much more on this episode of 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.

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.

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. So let's jump into it because we got all of this and so much 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 good news.

This week in Linux, we have a lot to talk about with the Linux kernel getting, or maybe not getting, Rusty. There's a little bit of drama there. Also, the Void Linux project has a new release of their distribution. EA has provided an update regarding Apex Legends and Linux. It's not great news, but we're gonna talk about it. There's also a tiny Linux kernel tweak that could save 30% on power use for data centers. And all of this and so much 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.

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. 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!

Comment on the TWIL Forum (https://thisweekinlinux.com/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. Now let's jump right into Your Source for Linux GNews.
