Zap Joins GNOME Circle, Tube Converter Keeps Getting Better, and Other New This Week

Zap, new app from GNOME Circle

The week from November 4 to 11 is number 69 in TWIG, which anyone who follows this or the official blog knows is the acronym for This Week In GNOME. In these articles they tell us about new things that have come to their world, and sometimes some that are yet to come. One that has already happened is that Zap has joined the circle of GNOME, and is an application that allows you to play sounds from a board to make live broadcasts more entertaining.

Of the rest of the novelties, after being used to Ubiquity and Calamares, it is striking that they have spoken of an installer that I personally did not know, one whose name is not the most original in the world. It's called OS-Installer, and it's released an update this week. Next you have the News list from week 69 of TWIG.
