This week in Linux, GNOME 51 is here with a faster, more polished desktop and a long list of upgrades across the environment. Asahi Linux pulled off another major Apple Silicon milestone with M3 Macs. Valve is building one of the wildest compatibility stacks we've seen yet for the Steam Frame. And Open Source projects are now setting traps for AI coding agents that can make lazy submissions snitch on themselves. Plus, Jellyfin 12 is a huge upgrade for self-hosted media. All of this and more on this week's episode, so let's jump into Your Source for Linux GNews and see what's happened This Week in Linux.
