In App News, KDE has announced the first release of the Application Suite after the renaming to KDE Gear with KDE Gear 21.04. We'll also check out the latest version of the Geary Email Client and Jellyfin's new media player. Then we'll jump right into so Drama because IBM has been a little bit of hot water with some confusion over their employee development policies and it turns out Research Papers can get an entire university banned from Linux Kernel contributions. All that and much more on Your Weekly Source for Linux GNews!
