SUSE OpenStack Cloud version 9 is out with its first release candidate[1].

After a bit of delay, Canonical just released the released Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS (Bionic Beaver) packaged with a patched 4.18 Linux kernel to address the boot failure bug pushing its release by a week[2].

Yesterday (Valentine's Day) marked the 6 year anniversary of the release of Steam for Linux[3]. Happy belated birthday Steam for Linux!!!

Just released is WebKitGTK version 2.23.90, adding better GTK integration, support for JPEG2000 and touchpad gestures and more[4].

A recent code commit to the Chromium codebase may hint to a near future support of virtual desktops[5]; a definite plus for those who tend to run multiple programs all at once.
