Weekly roundup of everything new in the Linux and Open Source world! May contain gaming and privacy related topics. This is a longer counterpart to the Linux and Open Source news videos available on The Linux Experiment Youtube Channel. I’m Nick, I’ve been making Linux and Open Source related videos on YouTube since 2018, with a sizeable following of more than 300 000 subscribers. I’ve been using Linux since 2006, starting with Ubuntu (like most people), and I have 12 years of experience in project management and UX, and that’s the lens I use to view the progress of our Linux desktops and open source applications!

episode 10: Linux at 4%, Fedora drops X11, Apple makes a mess of the EU's DMA
ADDITIONAL INFO: regarding the Apple & Epic topic, it looks like Apple committed to reinstate Epic’s developer account, right after the EU announced they’d look into it. I didn’t have time to record a new segment for the podcast to add the correction in audio form.
