Linux Apps
This week I'm trying a graphics editor, a MeshCore interface, and a terminal-based typing game.

New experimental physics simulations for hair and cloth are improving the capabilities of this open source 3D modelling app.
Security
MeshCore cards for Home Assistant dashboards allow HTML delivered by mesh nodes to be rendered, potentially allowing the delivery of malicious payloads to the host.
Software Updates
A beta for v26.6 was released that added OpenFX and VST2 plugins, as well as Vulkan display rendering for the application.
RISC-V
The felix86 project showed off 3D x86 games like Portal 2 and God of War running at decidedly playable levels thanks to new RISC-V hardware.
Independent, slop-free Linux and open source news that gets to the point.
A new, independent package build system and an optimized collection of software and kernel modules means a pure KDE distribution is one step closer to reality.

Jellyfin is about to jump from version 10.11.x to 12.x, to avoid confusion.
This week I'm trying a Flatpak browser, a screen recorder, and a VM manager.
With this radio module, you can get directly onto the Meshtastic network without need to flash anything.
You won't find Mozilla Thunderbird preinstalled on this release.
It includes additional ARM and RISC-V processor support and drivers for Wi-Fi 6.
New theming, new shortcuts, and better virtual desktops all make up this exciting desktop environment release.
