This has been another slow week due to the Easter holidays, but we still got a few goodies to play with starting with new releases of the popular Firefox web browser and digiKam professional photo manager, and continuing with new releases of the independent 4MLinux distribution and lightweight LXQt desktop environment.
On top of that, I take a look at the upcoming educational-focused Edubuntu 23.04 distribution and tell you about the release schedule of the upcoming GNOME 45 desktop environment.
