141: GRUB 2 Security Flaw, Linux Mint to Force Updates?, Valve’s Steam Link

On this episode of This Week in Linux, we're going to try something different with the show. Let me know what you think of the changes. This episode is completely stacked with exciting news, we've got a ton of Distro News from Ubuntu, openSUSE, Linux Mint, SystemRescue, IPFire, and even Linux From Scratch. A vulnerability was found in GRUB 2 that lets someone bypass Secure Boot so we'll talk about that and just how bad is it? The EU announced some great news related to Right to Repair. Valve has announced that Steam Link is now available on Linux and it's a real game changer. We've also got some media production news to check out this week from Blender, Ardour and a new synthesizer called Vital. All that and much more on Your Weekly Source for Linux GNews!
