9to5Linux Weekly Roundup: May 30th, 2021

The thirty-fifth installment of the 9to5Linux Weekly Roundup is here for the week ending on May 30th, 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, you can check it out here.

This week has been really interesting, but slow in Linux news. We only saw new releases of AlmaLinux, Oracle Linux, and Nitrux, and a new major release of the Inkscape SVG editor. Other than that, Fedora Linux 34 users received the latest Linux 5.12 kernel, and StarLabs adds Coreboot 5 support to two of its Linux laptops.

You can enjoy these and much more in 9to5Linux’s Linux weekly roundup for May 30th, 2021, below!
