This week in Linux, we have a ton to talk about. Linux Mint is modernizing their default theme. Then we have a new release of Hyperland, the tiling window manager. We’ve also got three new distros to talk about. And there’s a new release from the Home Assistant project, as well as the Mesa drivers. And GNOME announced their new Executive Director this week. And that’s not all. We’ve got all of that and 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. Now let’s jump right into Your Source for Linux GNews.
