Thank you!
Thank you everyone for yet another awesome week and for keep supporting 9to5Linux.com. Thank you for your comments, likes, shares, retweets, suggestions, tips, and whatnot. A big welcome goes to all our new followers, and I’m happier than ever to see that we’re nearing 20K followers on Twitter.
This week has been kinda slow in Linux news and releases, but we did got a new Firefox release with some Linux goodies, newer versions of the EndeavourOS and MX Linux distributions for our PCs, as well as a new Raspberry Pi OS release for our tiny single-board computers.
On top of that, this week brought us a new fwupd release to keep our devices up-to-date and a new KDE Frameworks release with lots of cool improvements for our Plasma desktop installations. You can enjoy this and much more in 9to5Linux’s Linux weekly roundup for April 10th, 2022, below!
