On this episode of This Week in Linux, we've got a jam packed episode, in fact, so much I might even need break out one of the topics into a separate video so it can be more thoroughly covered, we'll see though. We're going to be covering new releases including the Linux kernel itself with version 5.8. In App News we got releases from Firefox, Jellyfin and Nano. In Distro News we got new releases from Nitrux, BunsenLabs Linux and Gecko Linux. Then we'll tackle the big Security News for GRUB2 called BootHole that came out this week. All that and much more on Your Weekly Source for Linux GNews!
