337: KDE Plasma 6.6, Lutris Update, Asahi Linux, NuTyX, Valve vs Patent Troll & more Linux news

video: https://youtu.be/2188McQBnHg This week in Linux, was a HUGE week for Linux news and it was also a HUGE week for me because today marks the 10th anniversary of TuxDigital. That's right I started TuxDigital back in 2016 so it's just crazy to think I've been making content for 10 years. Also KDE has a brand new version of their desktop with Plasma 6.6. We've also got a new version of Linux game manager, Lutris. Then we've got an update from the Asahi Linux project for their work on getting Linux on Apple hardware. Later in the show, we've got everyone's favorite with Legal News, although seriously this is good news about Valve winning a lawsuit against a Patent Troll. All of this 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.
