Thank you!

Thank you everyone for following 9to5Linux on Twitter, we reached another awesome milestone this week, 11K. That’s amazing and I can’t thank you enough! A huge thank you also goes to all of you commenting, liking, retweeting, sharing, sending tips and suggestions, as well as to everyone who donated so far.

This week has been pretty awesome, and we saw the release of the Mesa 21.2 graphics stack, which is great news for gamers, we were able to test drive Ubuntu’s new Desktop Installer written in Google’s Flutter SDK, we played The Silence & The Fury DLC for Total War: WARHAMMER II, and we installed Nitrux 1.5.1, Coreboot 6, and fwupd 1.6.2.

On top of that, I take a first look at Thunderbird 91’s new account setup wizard and the upcoming UnityX 10 desktop environment. You can enjoy these and much more in 9to5Linux’s Linux and Open Source weekly roundup for August 8th, 2021, below!
