  News

The 199th installment of the 9to5Linux Weekly Roundup is here for the week ending on August 4th, 2024, keeping you updated with the most important things happening in the Linux world. If you missed last week’s 9to5Linux Weekly Roundup, catch up with everything GNU/Linux/Open Source here.

Thank you!

I want to thank all the people who sent us donations. You guys are awesome and your help is very much appreciated! I also want to thank you all for your continued support by commenting, liking, sharing, and boosting the articles, following us on social media, and last but not least thank you for sending us feedback.

This week we got a mix of software and distro releases starting with the OTA-5 update for the Ubuntu Touch mobile operating system and a new release of the Super Grub2 Disk system rescue live tool, and continuing with a new release of the systemd-free and immutable distro Nitrux, a new Arch Linux ISO snapshot, and new PeaZip and Amarok releases.

On top of that, I take a first look at the Serpent OS distribution and warn you about the end of life of the Linux 6.9 kernel series.
