    This week in Linux, was a HUGE week for Linux news and it was also a HUGE week for me because today marks the 10th anniversary of TuxDigital. That's right I started TuxDigital back in 2016 so it's just crazy to think I've been making content for 10 years. Also KDE has a brand new version of their desktop with Plasma 6.6. We've also got a new version of Linux game manager, Lutris. Then we've got an update from the Asahi Linux project for their work on getting Linux on Apple hardware. Later in the show, we've got everyone's favorite with Legal News, although seriously this is good news about Valve winning a lawsuit against a Patent Troll. 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 Linux and Open Source world. Now let's jump right into Your Source for Linux GNews!

    336: Linux 6.19, Discord Age Verification, KDE Linux, Linux Mint Changes, & more Linux news Feb 15, 2026

    video: https://youtu.be/qMIdMJnqNkE

    This week in Linux, we have a brand new version of the Linux kernel with Linux 6.19. Discord is in the news this week because they decided to roll out age verification to the entire world and received a lot of backlash for it... which is very much deserved. Linux Mint is talking about changing how they do releases of their distros and how they might do fewer of them. Then we'll take a look at the upcoming KDE Linux distro and what they've got cooking in their immutable oven. 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 Linux and Open Source world.
