This week in Linux, we have so many cool things to talk about. It's kind of absurd. In fact, it's so much, I had to skip a few things. I have enough for two episodes this week, and more, actually, there's a little more than that. So it was kind of hard to pick what to cover. Maybe I'll make some follow-up content this coming week with some stuff to cover that we didn't have a chance to put in the episode. But this week, we have many new releases to talk about, like the Cinnamon Desktop. NixOS has a new version out. And we got an update for the fourth alpha of the System76's COSMIC Desktop. Then we have some really cool news from Flatpak and KDE. All of this and so much more on This Week in Linux, the weekly news show that keeps you up to date with what's going on in the Linux and Open Source world.

This week in Linux, we have a lot of new releases to talk about. First, we have elementary OS 8.4. Then we're also having a huge milestone to talk about with the FreeCAD project because FreeCAD 1.0 has been released. Also, FLTK, the toolkit that I thought didn't exist anymore, has a new release with FLTK 1.4, as well as we're going to revisit some Linux kernel drama.

Then we've got a bunch of releases to talk about from Blender, Arch Linux & more. Then we got some more news from Mozilla to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Firefox web browser.
