In fact, sometimes I have to push stuff off a week, but we're going to do something a little different. We're going to do a bunch of extra topics. We're going to start off with Nobara 42 release. We also have a beta release of KDE Plasma's next version with Plasma 6.4. Then we have some stuff to talk about related to the Deepin desktop and OpenSUSE. And also we have some news for the installer for Arch Linux, as well as a bunch of other things, including whether or not Steam had a data breach. 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. So let's jump right into Your Source for Linux GNews.
