338: Linux LTS, COSMIC, Discord delays age verify, Firefox 148, Ladybird Browser & more Linux news
video: https://youtu.be/9P4ki0yBVb0 This week in Linux, we’ve got a solid mix of kernel news, desktop progress, application releases, and even a little bit drama thrown in for good measure. Several Linux LTS kernels are getting extended support, COSMIC Desktop 1.0.8 has landed with more polish, Firefox 148 is out with some notable changes, and the Ladybird browser project is making a big move by adding Rust to its development strategy. On top of that, Discord has officially delayed its global age verification rollout after significant backlash, so we’ll break down what happened there and what it means going forward. 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.

video: https://youtu.be/2188McQBnHg This week in Linux, was a HUGE week for Linux news and it was also a HUGE week for me because today marks the 10th anniversary of TuxDigital. That's right I started TuxDigital back in 2016 so it's just crazy to think I've been making content for 10 years. Also KDE has a brand new version of their desktop with Plasma 6.6. We've also got a new version of Linux game manager, Lutris. Then we've got an update from the Asahi Linux project for their work on getting Linux on Apple hardware. Later in the show, we've got everyone's favorite with Legal News, although seriously this is good news about Valve winning a lawsuit against a Patent Troll.

336: Linux 7.0, Discord Age Verification, KDE Linux, Linux Mint Changes, & more Linux news
video: https://youtu.be/qMIdMJnqNkE This week in Linux, we have a brand new version of the Linux kernel with Linux 6.19. Discord is in the news this week because they decided to roll out age verification to the entire world and received a lot of backlash for it... which is very much deserved. Linux Mint is talking about changing how they do releases of their distros and how they might do fewer of them. Then we'll take a look at the upcoming KDE Linux distro and what they've got cooking in their immutable oven.

video: https://youtu.be/cKQEl5Jho8Y This week in Linux, I'm Back! and this time, I mean I'm back and TWIL is back. This episode is going to have some stuff that happened between now and the last episode from a month ago but starting next week, the show is back on a weekly basis. On this week's show, we've got a new release of the Linux kernel with 6.18. We've also got some new distro releases to look at from NixOS, Solus, and more.
