This week's and News video is coming early!

In this one, I talk about the Foundation's Executive Director leaving after just 10 months, about Fedora 41 dropping X11 from the install media, some Cosmic news and the alpha looking extremely close, plus a big class action lawsuit against Copilot being partly dismissed, with the more important part being allowed to proceed:

@thelinuxEXP about Gnome font, did you mean the Arabic
الشّدّة؟
(the letter
س
Over the letter
ش)
If this is the case the Gnome was really a bad choice, it made Arabic-writing people like Egyptians run away from Linux, even though Gnome isn't the only choice, KDE exists too
I think I also read that XFCE supports Wayland too, this should be on your next weekly podcast since it is a very big of a deal for minimalists
