It’s FOSS has around 2000 articles and it is difficult to find the interesting ones just from browsing the website.
This is what prompted me to consolidate articles based on topics. So, you get pages like Fedora guides, Rust series etc. I am also putting up ‘collection pages’ that could let you access a particular topic more easily. The Linux application suggestion collection is one of the many more to be published in the coming weeks.
Question for you. Would you like to see some coverage on open source Android apps on It’s FOSS?
💬 Let’s see what else you get in this edition:
- KDE global themes causing data deletion.
- A modern, Rust-based alternative to NVIDIA Nouveau driver.
- Fedora 40 features.
- And other Linux news, videos and, of course, memes!
- This edition of FOSS Weekly is supported by Mailfence.
