This week’s episode is so jam packed that it is kind of ridiculous. Let’s rapid fire this intro and you’ll see what I mean. Fedora Linux 40 is out, Ubuntu 24.04 LTS is out, Nextcloud has a new release of Nextcloud Hub and the release notes feel like they never end, the Flathub has released a new design refresh making it even better to use Flatpaks, and we recently had an awesome interview on the Destination Linux podcast that I gotta tell you about and all of this in one episode. I mean there’s so much just in the Ubuntu topic that I didn’t have time to cover the flavours, I’ll tell you about those next week. Yea, this is going to be one of those episodes.
