This week in Linux, we have a lot of cool news to talk about. We have stuff that's upcoming, we have stuff that was released this week, and so much. So I am super excited about one thing. It's not coming out till December, but I just had to tell you about it, and that is the next release of the XFCE desktop with XFCE 4.20. We also have some releases from Manjaro, as well as the Umo launcher for Proton Games, and we have a preview of the next Cinnamon theme that is coming from Linux Mint. 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 open source and Linux world. Now, let's jump right into Your Source for Linux GNews.
