// OMG! UBUNTU! — LINUX & OPEN SOURCE
Linux App Release Roundup (June 2026)
June was sweltering, but the summer heat didn’t slow down open-source software developers.
Last month delivered a wave of app updates, including the release of Firefox 152 with its streamlined settings, HandBrake resolved its Linux WebM handling and the Audacity 4.0 beta made a brand-new design available for public scrutiny (mainly of the “much better” variety).
But underneath those highs – yes, I’m determined to make this heat theme work – a quiet simmer of smaller maintenance updates rolled out too…
I spotlighted the Cine Linux video player earlier this year. It’s an MPV-based player with an immersive UI, essential video features (subtitles, audio tracks, playlists) and support for video adjustments (brightness, contrast, zoom and more).
Cine 1.7.0 arrived in June with a new Watch History feature. This, as the name suggests, shows you a history of what you’ve watched recently. Open the app without a file and the main screen now has an icon to jump straight into it.
This release also fixed the app not unpausing when a new file is opened and an empty title appearing on some desktop taskbars. The app gained new Ukrainian and Tamil translations.
Cine source code is on Github, or install it from Flathub.
SuperFile, a terminal file manager we’ve covered before, released version 1.6.0 last month.
Notably, sidebar sections can now be shown, hidden or reordered, allowing you to prune the sidebar to show only what you use. File previews are also more reliable too, following a migration to the Bubble Tea v2 library.
The metadata panel now shows decoded inode flags for files on Linux and adds file type byte to the permissions column. SuperFile can now detect binary architecture for ELF, PE and Mach-O executables. Error messages for failed operations convey more detail too.
