Still, there was plenty of work done for 5.12.Linux 5.12 Release AnnouncementAs Linux 5.12 released, Linus Torvalds warns next version will probably be rather large — "'Despite the extra week, this was actually a fairly small release overall. Judging by Linux-next, 5.13 will be making up for it."Flatpak 1.11.1 Brings Changes For Steam, Better Support For Command Line Programs — One of the changes with Flatpak 1.11.1 worth mentioning is allowing sub-sandboxes to have a different /usr and/or /app.steam-runtime-tools: pressure-vessel — pressure-vessel is a bit like a simplified version of Flatpak for Steam games.While we worry about WSLg Amazon is Positioned to Kill Server LinuxHumble Bundle is removing their pay sliders and replacing them with two preset pay splits.Looking forward to Fedora 34 — In 2021, complaints about PulseAudio are scarce indeed; the quirks have long since been ironed out and, for most people, sound just works.
