Thank you!
Thank you everyone for the love you showed us during this week, for all your likes, comments, suggestions, tips, and whatnot. A big thank you goes to all our new followers and everyone who donated so far to keep 9to5Linux alive during the COVID-19 pandemic.
This week has been slow in news and I was busy traveling for personal matters. Despite that, we got some very hot news, such as the release of Firefox 90, the Ubuntu Touch OTA-18 software update for Linux phones, and Valve’s own gaming handheld powered by Arch Linux and KDE Plasma.
On top of that, we also covered the news about the release of digiKam 7.3 professional photo management app and Tails 4.20 amnesic incognito live system. You can enjoy these and much more in 9to5Linux’s Linux weekly roundup for July 18th, 2021, below!
