This has been a great week with lots of cool news and releases, starting with the Firefox 134 web browser and continuing with the 16GB Raspberry Pi 5 model. Fans of the KDE Plasma desktop environment received many goodies too, including a beta version of the upcoming KDE Plasma 6.3 series.

On top of that, I show you how to install Linux kernel 6.12 LTS on Ubuntu and how to switch the primary GPU to NVIDIA on Wayland. 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 weekly roundup for January 12th, 2025.
