The 121st installment of the 9to5Linux Weekly Roundup is here for the week ending on January 22nd, 2023, keeping you guys up to date with the most important things happening in the Linux world. If you missed last week’s 9to5Linux Weekly Roundup, catch up with all the things here.
Thank you!
As I posted on Twitter earlier this week, I want to thank you for helping 9to5Linux reach 30K followers. This is an amazing milestone for us considering the fact that we’re only 3 years old. On that note, January 24th, 2023, marks our 3rd anniversary so Happy Anniversary to us! We’re here to stay until the end of times and we wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for you, so, once again, thank you for your support.
This week was kinda slow in news and releases, most probably because of the long holidays and festivities this month. Despite that, we still got new Firefox and VirtualBox releases, a new major release of the GCompris educational suite, as well as a new production-ready NVIDIA graphics driver.
On top of that, a new release of Netrunner OS arrived after two years with a new Debian base, and the upcoming KDE Plasma 5.27 desktop environment and Firefox 110 web browser have entered public beta testing. Below, you can enjoy these and much more in 9to5Linux’s Linux weekly roundup for January 22nd, 2023.
