Did you know the MATE desktop hasn't had a release announcement since version 1.26 in 2021?

There still isn't an announcement, BUT

MATE 1.28 has been official since February 12th. You can get it in places like #Fedora Rawhide, OpenMandriva Cooker and #Slackware Current.

So I let #Fedora #Rawhide with #Plasma 6 RC1 simmer for a while because after a few updates, things were very good. Well, I decided to upgrade to RC2 and beyond recently and... 7.2GB LOL. That's the entire system isn't it?

#Linux

[leo.tar.gz @leochavez]

Sometimes I think about the smell that used to come off the back of CRT monitors after they got warm.

That was a good smell.

[leo.tar.gz @leochavez]

I couldn't pass up the opportunity to upgrade to the best #Linux #Kernel ever, 6.6.6. Of course, it had to be in front of an Iron Maiden poster!🤘

[mintCast @mintcast]

In one huge episode, we cover Canonical, Debian and Google news. In security, Zenbleed. And because they're short, the wanderings, feedback and suggestions, too!

We also say goodbye to Kevin Mitnick.

@getaudacity can you please fix the horizontal scrollbar issue in linux. We use your software to make our show and it is getting a bit old.

[mintCast @mintcast]

Can telemetry be ethical? If it can, would you allow it to run on your machine?

Hear what we think

@jack_sparrow_hz @itsfoss Unfortunately not. The main desktop is Cinnamon, with official support for MATE and Xfce.

[mintCast @mintcast]

@itsfoss We feel attacked

[It's FOSS @Itsfoss]

It's called Linux Mint. It's like Ubuntu but doesn't have Snap.

[leo.tar.gz @leochavez]

#LXD is in the news...

[mintCast @mintcast]

You ever wanted to remotely control another Linux box? What if you're 100 miles away? How would you do it?

In this episode, Joe hits the highlights of SSH, sshfs, VPNs, X2go and lots of other ways to get work done remotely, and a few other good ideas
