Desktop Linux has crossed a major milestone for usage with more than 10% in North America and 7% globally. Arch Linux has announced some changes they are making to the way the AUR works because of the latest Malware attacks. Plus there's some big KDE news this week. KDE is bringing back LTS support with a much bigger "Bullet-Proof KDE" approach, and Framework has announced the next edition of the Framework Laptop 12 and it's coming with a preinstalled option of Fedora KDE. There is a LOT happening in the Linux world right now, and some of these stories get pretty wild. So here's Your Source for Linux GNews and see what's happened This Week in Linux.
