My favorite Linux desktop distribution, Linux Mint, is considering slowing down its release cadence. That's because, as lead developer Clement "Clem" Lefebvre explained, while releasing often has worked very well, it produces "these incremental improvements release after release. But it takes a lot of time, and it caps our ambition when it comes to development. ... [so] We're thinking about changing that and adopting a longer development cycle."

GNOME is a Linux desktop environment that you either love or hate. I've used GNOME and GNOME-based desktops for years and have always fallen on the side of "love." With each new release, I always find a feature or two (or a bit of extra polish) that makes me smile. The release of GNOME 49 is no different. Although there might not be any game-changing features for this release (I'm guessing the developers are holding out until the big 5-0), there's just enough to make it a worthy upgrade from 48.

The release of Xlibre 25.0.0.0 signifies a pivotal moment in the world of X11, presenting new features amid controversy surrounding its lead developer.
