This has been yet another great week with cool Linux news, starting with Valve’s SteamOS 3.0, which will be available for download after Steam Deck’s launch in February 2022, and continuing with the latest Raspberry Pi OS release based on Debian Bullseye.
This week also brought good news for fans of the KDE Plasma desktop environment with new Plasma and Frameworks releases, a new major release of the Tor Browser anonymous web browser, new kernel security updates for Ubuntu users, and new updates to Red Hat Enterprise Linux and AlmaLinux OS.
On top of that, I take a look at an unofficial LineageOS build for Raspberry Pi 4 computers based on Google’s Android 12 mobile operating system. You can enjoy these and much more in 9to5Linux’s Linux weekly roundup for November 14th, 2021, below!
