Untitled Linux Show 228: Smooth Before, Smooth After
Flatpak has hit a bump in the road, but Sebastian Wick may have it back on course. KDE is making progress on the upcoming 6.6, and Fedora 43 is out. The Turris Omnia NG is a compelling Linux router, RDSEED has a bit of a problem on AMD Zen 5, and Mozilla drops the ball with AI translations. There's some weird security stories to cover in Open Office and the Linux kernel, and Gnome has dropped its X11 back-end. For tips we have declare for Bash variable and function handling, btrfs-check for btrfs filesystem cleanup, and the Amplitude Soundboard for live sound effects.
You can find the show notes at https://bit.ly/4i07PSX and enjoy!
