<p>This week in Linux is packed! It&#39;s an extra long episode. So if you were wanting more and more TWIL, then you&#39;re going to get it this week because Steam Summer Sale is here and it is torching bank accounts. Fedora developers are talking about getting rid of 32-bit support and there&#39;s a little bit of controversy around that. We&#39;re going to break all of that down. Also, Fairphone 6 has been announced and it comes with kernel patches, an upstream Linux kernel on day one. Firefox 140 has arrived as the new ESR, and there&#39;s also some exciting news coming in the next release of Firefox as well. And later in the show, KDE&#39;s Wayland wave is continuing to grow to about 70% of users these days. Kubuntu drops X11 by default, and KDE is working on a slick first run wizard. All of this and more on This Week in Linux, the weekly news show that keeps you up to date with what&#39;s going on in the Linux and Open Source world. Now let&#39;s jump right into Your Source for Linux GNews.</p>
