Pop Package Updates (Week of August 20, 2023)

Here is a summary of the Pop!_OS package updates for the week starting August 20, 2023.

Overview

The previous two weeks were pretty quiet and Pop!_OS did not update any packages themselves, so I didn't make a post. This week, however, saw a few significant updates such as intel-microcode, amd64-microcode, linux-firmware, pipewire, and lutris.
