It's another Snap and Flatpak shootout, a new release of DreamWorks MoonRay, and Google Open Sources Magika. The MariaDB corporation is struggling, KDE has a new Slimbook, and we hate to hate on NVIDIA . For tips we have theme.sh for console theming, Tbmk for bookmarking command tips, tmux -- THE Terminal Multiplexer, and git update-index to get VSCode to leave you alone.

The show notes are at https://bit.ly/4bHDVPM and we'll see you next time!
