   The 301st installment of the 9to5Linux Weekly Roundup is here for the
   week ending July 19th, 2026, keeping you updated on the most important
   developments in the Linux world. If you missed last week’s 9to5Linux
   Weekly Roundup, catch up with everything GNU/Linux/Open Source here.

Thank you!

   I want to thank everyone who sent us donations; your generosity is
   greatly appreciated. I also want to thank all of you for your continued
   support by commenting, liking, sharing, and boosting the articles,
   following us on social media, and, last but not least, sending us
   feedback.

   The slow posting continues this week as I am still on my summer
   vacation, and I believe many developers enjoy theirs too. Still, I
   tried to keep you guys in the loop with the hottest releases, including
   Blender 5.2 LTS, COSMIC 1.3, KDE Plasma 6.7.3, Wayland 1.26, MKVToolNix
   100, Clonezilla Live 3.3.3, and DXVK 3.0.2.

   On top of that, I tell you all about the upcoming KDE Plasma 6.8
   desktop environment, the new Linux laptop from System76, and Valve’s
   official Arch Linux ARM64 port. Below, you can check out this week’s
   hottest news and access all the distro and package downloads released
   this past week in the 9to5Linux roundup for July 19th, 2026.
