Forum Discussion Thread

This week in Linux, we saw the release of the latest version of the Linux Kernel with Linux 6.12. Plus Qualys announced that they found some security vulnerabilities in the needrestart package used by Ubuntu. I'll break it down for you and let you know whether you should panic or not. Then we've got a bunch of releases to talk about from Blender, Arch Linux & more. Then we got some more news from Mozilla to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Firefox web browser. 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!
