fun piece of #htop trivia: I don't think I've ever seen an htop screenshot use this color theme (and neither do I use it), but from the very first version that supported themes, I've included this very MS-DOS-inspired "MC" theme as a tribute to @Migueldeicaza's Midnight Commander. MC's builtin editor "mcedit" was _fundamental_ to me when I first got into to #Linux back in... err, 1999?

The first versions of htop from 2004 to 2006 were all written in mcedit!

This week's donation went to Linux Mint. They have three editions based off Ubuntu which offer chocies between Cinnamon, Mate and XFCE for desktop environment. There is also a Debian based version that uses Cinnamon. It uses SystemD for the init and Ext4 for the filsesystem. Linux Mint is a very user friendly distro and a great starting point if you are looking to switch from Windows or Mac to something more privacy and security focussed. It can also easily be used with the libre kernel if one wanted to if you follow the instructions at FSFLA.

The main website for the Mint project is here:

https://www.linuxmint.com/

You can download Linux Mint here:

The source code for Linux Mint can be found on Github:

The release notes for this update are here:

I've used linux for 25 years now and there are pieces of hardware I own that need firmware updates that can't be done on Linux, only #MacOS or #Windows tools exist from their manufacturers.

It's easy to say use #linux only, but in the real world some things require either Win or MacOS for drivers, in my case firmware updaters that enable or enhance expensive hardware to work or with current features. Even attempting a firmware update in WINE would brick them.

Don't go back into that prison again 🙄

#Ubuntu will now ship the absolute latest available Linux version of the upstream #Linux kernel at the specified Ubuntu release freeze date, even if upstream is still in Release Candidate (RC) status.

Ever wonder when your system last updated a package when using a Debian or Ubuntu Linux? Let's check Firefox, for example. Type this:

```
grep -B4 firefox /var/log/apt/history.log
```
