Fragnesia Vulnerability, €1.2 Million for KDE, Hyprland, Project Bluefin, & more Linux news
Support the show by becoming a patron at https://tuxdigital.com/membership or get some swag at https://store.tuxdigital.com/This week in Linux, we got yet another vulnerability in the Linux kernel to talk about. Is it something to be scared of or is it being blown out of proportion? Stay tuned to find out. Plus we have some great news from the KDE team about a new release of Plasma and new funding to the project. Then we'll talk about some interesting work done over on the Fedora side with Fedora Hummingbird and what that can mean for the future of Linux systems.
And two years ago, on episode 256 of TWIL, I talked about how the HDMI Forum was actively getting in the way of Open Source but apparently, it seems things might have changed and they might be finally getting it.
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!
