    289: Cinnamon Desktop, COSMIC Alpha 4, NixOS, Flathub LLC & more Linux news

    video: https://youtu.be/rT1HH6BfBPQ Forum Discussion Thread This week in Linux, we have so many cool things to talk about. It's kind of absurd. In fact, it's so much, I had to skip a few things. I have enough for two episodes this week, and more, actually, there's a little more than that. So it was kind of hard to pick what to cover. Maybe I'll make some follow-up content this coming week with some stuff to cover that we didn't have a chance to put in the episode. But this week, we have many new releases to talk about, like the Cinnamon Desktop. NixOS has a new version out. And we got an update for the fourth alpha of the System76's COSMIC Desktop. Then we have some really cool news from Flatpak and KDE.
