Thank you!
Thank you, everyone, for your support this week by sharing, liking, and retweeting my articles, for your comments, suggestions, and tips. I am only here because you guys support me and I will never take that for granted, so thank you for all your support so far!
Someone emailed me this week that the dark theme I am using for the website is flashing white every time a page loads, suggesting a fix. I was quick to implement the fix and want to publicly thank this person for helping me improve the website’s design, so thank you whoever you are!
This week we had a bunch of exciting news, starting with the launch of the final Linux Mint 21 release and the Firefox 103 web browser, and continuing with System76’s latest Pop!_OS Linux 22.04 distribution for Raspberry Pi 4 devices and a new Steam Client update with more improvements for Linux gamers.
On top of that, we talked about some of the upcoming changes in the Endless OS distribution, a new Linux kernel security update for Debian GNU/Linux 11 users, and I prepared another roundup of updates for Xfce users.
