This Week in Linux

Comment on the TWIL 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.
