📰 Showtime video player edges closer to Ubuntu debut
Those testing Ubuntu 26.04 daily builds or monthly snapshots may have noticed that Showtime, GNOME’s spiffy new video player, is not preinstalled in the ‘extended selection’, despite being announced as a replacement for Totem. It’s especially confusing since Resources system monitor, announced as a software swap the same time as Showtime, has been on the ISO for a while.

📰 Some Linux kernels just got a nice LTS end-of-life extension, including 6.12
As much as the FOSS community has an excellent record for maintaining its software for long periods of time after a new version releases, people can't maintain an operating system forever. At some point, you have to cut off the old versions and redirect your efforts onto the newer ones. As such, Linux kernels do have an end-of-life date where support will end for that version.
