Zorin OS 17.2 released with updated programs and drivers, Zorin Appearance got an option to change cursor style, also in Appearance, a new Windows (boooo lol) menu is added to set automatic position of newly opened windows, set titlebar buttons to be on the left or right, other window related settings:

postmarketOS ditches sudo in favor of doas:
https://postmarketos.org/edge/2024/09/11/doas-instead-of-sudo/
(doas is more secure in theory, but it might be a bit more inconvenient to use for those who use CLI a lot, because with doas they need to enter root password for each command, while with sudo they only need to enter it once during the session.)
Proton 9.0-3 released with a ton of new games supported:
https://9to5linux.com/proton-9-0-3-released-with-support-for-avatar-frontiers-of-pandora-farlight-84
(Windows users be like: but there still aren't enough supported games on Linux. GTA V Online isn't supported anymore. Boooo. Roblox is impossible to get working. Boooo.)
