Comment on the TWIL Forum

This week in Linux, we have a ton to talk about. So much happened. I took last week off because of the holidays, and there's just a lot happened in that period of time. So let's talk about it. First, we have Xfce because Xfce 4.20 has been released. openSUSE has announced a new package management tool. There is now an alpha release for the Serpent OS distribution. There's also a Steam Winter Sale that's going on right now. And we've got news from DreamWorks. Yes, that DreamWorks. All of this and more on This Week in Linux, the weekly news show that keeps you up to date with what's going on in the Linux and open source world. Now let's jump right into Your Source for Linux GNews.
