    324: Secure Boot Linux issues, EU's Chat Control law, Linux Mint 22.2, Ubuntu Touch, & more Linux news

    video: https://youtu.be/5T1Frk70LTQ Comment on the TWIL Forum (https://thisweekinlinux.com/forum) This week in Linux, we have a lot of news to cover. We have some good news and some bad news. Well, people like to start with bad news first, I guess. So there is a fiasco happening with Secure Boot and how it may be affecting Linux users. Also, the EU is proposing a law that is pretty close to being passed that is very scary and a step towards mass surveillance. We'll talk about that. Then also we have some good news and that the Pebble watches are back and we have some beta releases from Linux Mint and Ubuntu Touch as well as SyncThing is back, which is a really cool tool to sync your files across multiple devices. 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. Now let's jump right into Your Source for Linux GNews.
