FOSS Weekly #23.04: Flatpak vs Snap, Rust CLI Tools, Zsh, Wine 8.0 and More

Did you know that It's FOSS has a dedicated section of Linux resources in the Spanish language?

And recently, my Mexican friend Marco helped create a Bash Scripting course in Spanish.

To help people learn and use Linux in their mother tongue, we plan on translating our work into more languages. Portuguese is our next target and with the help of volunteers, you should see a Portuguese section on the website soon.

Let's move on to what you get in this edition of FOSS Weekly.

💬 In this week's issue:

• Rust based CLI tools to enhance your Linux terminal experience
• GNOME shell running on mobile (video)
• WINE 8.0
• And more Linux news, videos and memes
