Today is Debian Day and it's quite a special one, because the Debian Project has now been going for 30 years which is a very impressive milestone.

There's some interesting plans ahead coming from the Linux Mint team including a new EDGE ISO for running Mint on newer hardware, info on the next Linux Mint release and their concerns with Ubuntu and Snap.

After their huge version 43 release recently bringing with it initial ASUS ROG Ally support, ChimeraOS Linux has a first bug fix release out.

Linux Mint 21.2 is out now as the latest distribution built on top of Ubuntu, coming with various careful improvements to the base software included.

Quite a controversial topic currently floating around is that a change proposal has been made for Fedora Workstation 40 to have some "privacy-preserving" telemetry to "enable limited data collection of anonymous Fedora Workstation usage metrics".

ChimeraOS 43 has been released today adding in support for running this SteamOS inspired Linux distribution on the ASUS ROG Ally handheld.

Linux Mint 21.2 is getting close to release now with a Beta available for testing across their Cinnamon, MATE and Xfce desktop environments.

This could be very interesting and exciting. Canonical has confirmed they're working towards an immutable version of Ubuntu for desktop users based on all the work they've done with Ubuntu Core.

Much like Fedora Silverblue, Fedora Kinoite, and Fedora Sericea there's going to be a new immutable version of Fedora coming called Fedora Onyx.

System76 are busy hacking away on their new upcoming COSMIC desktop environment, and their latest development blog post is looking good.

Want to get Linux onto your handheld PC or your living room PC console? ChimeraOS is probably what you're going to want and version 42 has just been released.

Canonical has today released Ubuntu 23.04, their latest short-term new-feature release (it's not an LTS) that will be supported until January 2024.

Fedora has a big new release available in version 38 which came a bit early. As usual lots of new features and fixes, plus a fancy new Budgie desktop spin.

The next major update for Ubuntu Linux is about to arrive, with the Beta of Ubuntu 23.04 'Lunar Lobster' now available.

Have a PC hooked up to your TV or need a Linux distribution that might work better on a handheld PC? A new release of ChimeraOS is here, and it's a necessary upgrade. Think of it a bit like SteamOS with fancy extras.

In the latest Monthly News post, Linux Mint's Clement Lefebvre detailed some upcoming changes and improvements to the popular Linux distribution.

ChimeraOS, the Linux distribution designed for couch gaming much like SteamOS, has version 39 out now. This is the first release since Valve swapped to the New Big Picture Mode from the Steam Deck.

elementary OS, probably one of the absolutely slickest looking Linux distributions around, has released version 7 with some major upgrades.

Smelling fresh and ready to invite you in, Linux Mint 21.1 is officially out now so here's what's new and improved.

Linux Mint 21.1 is now available in Beta to get testing, based upon Ubuntu 22.04 with kernel 5.15 it's a long-term support release so you'll be able to continue using it until 2027 before needing a major update.
