This week we got some interesting releases, starting with the long awaited EDGE flavor of Linux Mint 21.2 and continuing with some major updates for elementary OS 7 and Debian GNU/Linux 12 “Bookworkm”.

Slax Linux got two updates as well, Linux gamers received a major Proton release, and new versions of VLC, Ardour, and Krita arrived with important changes. Below, you can read this week’s hottest news and access all the distro and package downloads in 9to5Linux’s Linux weekly roundup for October 8th, 2023.

Website changes

You probably noticed that we have a slightly different design for the sidebar where the widgets are for downloading packages or for presenting our sponsors. We implemented a new dark theme a couple of weeks ago that’s OS aware and has some more modern elemenets to keep up with the times. We announced this change on social media and we hope that you like the new design.
