From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

KDE Plasma updated to version 6.4.3 from 6.2.5

Why are they updating to an outdated version?

Nice release, might have to see about throwing it on a mini pc for htpc ussage at some point.

As of this morning, every time I try to launch Helldivers 2, it immediately stops launching after loading and cuts out. I wonder if this is why?

Helldivers 2 broke Linux with an update. You have to use Proton experimental for it to work again.
