Thank you!
Thank you so much for an amazing week where you’ve supported us with likes, shares, comments, suggestions, tips, and whatnot. We’re so thankful for your support and we couldn’t be here without you, so, once again, thank you!
This has been a fantastic week with lots of great news and releases, starting with Canonical’s Ubuntu Pro announcement and continuing with openSUSE Linux’s move to stronger security for its packages.
Linux gamers got some nice goodies as well this week with the release of Wine 8.0 and DXVK 2.1. New important releases of GStreamer and PipeWire multimedia tools arrived as well this week for all our audio and video needs.
On top of that, I take a look at a brand-new distro that promises to be a game changer, blendOS, and GNOME and Budgie desktop fans have new releases to play with for their beloved GNU/Linux distributions.
Next week we got even more exciting news and releases, so stay close to 9to5Linux. Below, you can read the hottest news of the week and access all distro and software downloads available in 9to5Linux’s Linux weekly roundup for January 29th, 2023.
