$ Linux distro news sources

Distribution news is mostly release announcements, security advisories and changes that need action from you. Rolling distros such as Arch occasionally publish manual-intervention notices that can break an update if ignored; fixed-release distros such as Ubuntu and Fedora publish release schedules, end-of-life dates and upgrade guides.

The best approach is to follow the official channel of the distro you run, and add one or two independent sites that cover the wider ecosystem so you notice what is happening elsewhere. The sources below mix official blogs and independent news sites.
