video: https://youtu.be/ucGrNLdsql0Comment on the TWIL Forum (https://thisweekinlinux.com/forum)This week in Linux, we've got a bit of bad news from Intel as they abruptly ended Clear Linux out of no where and Arch Linux warned users that malware was found in the AUR. It's not all bad this week though because Wayback is back on the show with the first preview release for keeping X11 desktops alive in our future Wayland powered world. Plus according to one source, Linux usage is even higher than we already thought it was. A couple of episodes ago I reported that we broke the 5% threshold on the US desktop market based on StatCounter data but according to one source it's already climbed passed 6%. What source you ask? The analytics of U.S. federal government websites. Speaking of governments, GitHub is trying to get EU lawmakers to scale Germany’s Sovereign Tech Fund into a EU wide program to fund critical open‑source projects. Also for some more good news, we're so close to hitting 100,000 subscribers on the channel, if you want to help please consider subscribing.
