Thank you everyone for all your support this week by posting comments, linking, sharing, and retweeting our articles on social media, sending suggestions and tips, and last but not least for following us. Your support is highly appreciated and we won’t be here without your help!
This week started strong with a big announcement from the Thunderbird project as they plan on developing an Android app for the popular open-source email client, the release of the KDE Plasma 5.25 desktop environment, and another big announcement, this time from Mozilla as they enabled the “Total Cookie Protection” privacy/anti-tracking feature by default for all desktop users.
Also this week, we got new releases of our beloved software and GNU/Linux distributions, including but not limited to IPFire, GIMP, Proton, Manjaro, and Ubuntu Core. In other news, games publisher Feral Interactive releases a Linux port of the Total War: WARHAMMER III video game, and the Linux 5.17 kernel series reached end of life and it will no longer be supported with maintenance updates.
