This Week in Linux 110: AMD Ryzen Linux Laptops, Thunderbird 78, Cooler Master Raspberry Pi Case

This Week in Linux is a Proud Member of the Destination Linux Network!

On this episode of This Week in Linux, we've got some really cool hardware news, we've finally got some Linux laptops equipped with an AMD Ryzen 4000H series processor. These laptops are thanks to Tuxedo Computers and KDE Slimbook. Cooler Master has launched a kickstarter campaign to make a pretty slick Case for the Raspberry Pi 4. We've also got a LOT of App News this week with the latest release of the most popular open source email client, Thunderbird 78 from Mozilla. KDE has released version 7.0.0 of digiKam. If you've been wanting an open source way to control your RGB lights on your devices then OpenRGB may be the tool for you.

Hey everyone, I did a new style intro to the show, what do you think of the new style?

[nedbog]

I remember how much I used to struggle with amd video cards. Now it is so seamless, I love it.

[Practical-IT]

LOL. You said like that smash button. Glad I'm not the only one that gets tong tied in videos.

[nedbog]

the openrgb project sounds interesting.

Just like it happened with Mozilla Firefox a lot of people will be stuck on version 68 of Thunderbird for a long time. It's sad that Mozilla repeat their mistake instead of learning from it. Also if their integrated XMPP-client is an indication for the love the newly integrated Matrix client will receive it'll be pretty much useless. Why didn't they bring the XMPP-client up to date before adding another feature for the same purpose? In that case it would've made even more sense to add COI instead of Matrix since Thunderbird is supposed to be an E-Mail client in the first place and therefor has most of the needed stuff for COI already onboard anyway.

Hey Michael, enjoy your news, .... one small thing I have noticed is that in this vid you talk about and show the case for pi 4 then you talk about another case but do not show it. It's prolly more work but when you are talking about something to have an appropiate page up would be nice... Thanks

Thunderbird 78 has a "importexport NG" plugin, won't that import from 68 to 78?

Hey I've read that the honor magicbook 15 is going to be available with Linux. So is it true??

I was really tempted to buy that laptop, so i did some digging and unfortunately for me it sucks.
It has no numpad so that is a loss, but they also screwed up the clickpad because you can only click it at the bottom. Making fast touchpad use pretty much impossible given you don't have a dedicated key for the click finger, and you also can't click it everywhere leaving you with moving your finger to the bottom as your only option. Can't game on that.

Big shame, because the specs are awesome, the screen is supposedly awesome and the fact it runs linux out of the box is awesome. I just need that proper touchpad given i actually use a laptop on my lap all the time and use my desktop for my desk.

When clicking on the 01:41 timestamp you don't get the topic immediately but your advertisement of Digital Ocean!
The real topic starts at 03:33
The same disease happens for the timestamp 21:48 which is the advertisement of Bitwarden while the real topic starts at 25:00! :D :P :)

I like how there's a lot of useless filler content in your videos. I really like your channel. But can we have less publicity for your network and stuffs like that. Otherwise I'm just gonna unsubscribed and only look at the Linux experiment news.
