We also have some releases from Manjaro, as well as the Umo launcher for Proton Games, and we have a preview of the next Cinnamon theme that is coming from Linux Mint. All of this and more on This Week in Linux, the weekly news show that keeps you up to date with what's going on in the open source and Linux world.
