On this episode of This Week in Linux, we're going to talk about the pretty nasty bug discovered in the Sudo tool which has been named "Baron Samedit". We've got some distro news to discuss for Ubuntu 21.04 and Tails OS. Then we'll check out some news in the desktop environment space from KDE Plasma and CDE, the Common Desktop Environment of all things. In App news, we'll check out the latest releases of Mozilla Firefox, Xfce's Thunar file manager and another browser called qutebrowser. Cute with a "Q" naturally. We'll take a look at the excite plans UBports has for Ubuntu Touch in 2021. All that and much more on Your Weekly Source for Linux GNews!
