	Hi LUGers,

	Well the meeting is still weeks away.
But I think the information about the recent Manjaro release
is something that should be shared.

Get ready for another issue of Linux Magazine!

Cover Stories: A sustainable world will need more sustainable 
programming. This month we tell you about some FOSS initiatives 
dedicated to energy efficiency, and we take a close look at some green 
coding techniques in Go.

	On this month DVD we have Fedora 37 and  Tuxedo PS 2
TUXEDO OS is primarily (though not exclusively) designed for owners of 
TUXEDO Computers laptops and PCs. The latest release, TUXEDO OS 2, is 
(surprise) the second major update to the Kubuntu-based distro, 
following last year’s debut release.

	Fedora introduced more services handy for the people who
work for enterprises perhaps.
