    Love to see some accessibility improvements and the nautilus update is going to make handling my large folders a lot easier

    I fucking love Gnome over any other DE. I do hate how they try to fucking block using flameshot, otherwise, best distro in the linux world.

      unfortunately flameshot uses some wlroots extensions that no DEs seem to use , I have a ton of window rules attempting to work around it on plasma

        Yeah, going around with that hackaton to make it work is a real PITA. Unfortunately, that’s the most enticing screen shot app in existence, in my opinion. I ended up just using the Gnome SC app and making it open satty to edit and then decide to copy or save. It does the job, requires very little tweaking, but it’s certainly not flameshot.

    I can’t for the life of me get used to Gnome on my desktop. I tried so many times, but I always get the feeling of using a tablet.

    I like the concept, but it’s simply a laptop or tablet centered DE, at best.

      Do you use any extensions? I hated Gnome when I first started using Linux but now I prefer it over alternatives.

      My extensions

      It is a change in workflow for sure (mouse-centric > keyboard-centric), but once understood it is, I’m, much faster than the alternative.

      The reason why Gnome doesn’t feel at home with a mouse is because it’s keyboard-centric which also works for touch gestures as a result of their convergence efforts.

    Honestly, not much changed since GNOME 40.

    Is it a bad thing? No

    Do I want more changes? Also no

    The only thing missing from GNOME for me is proper dynamic tiling. I’m trying Forge extension, but it feels clunky

      That is likely to come now that they have removed all support for X11. Apparently the legacy code was preventing properly integrating a tiling system.

      Dropping X11 seems huge.

        How many people were using X11 on GNOME?

        Yes, it’s technically a huge change, but regular user won’t see a difference

          Removing technical debts cannot be overestimated.

      Yeah forge is what I use too and it’s definitely a little clunky. PaperWM was decent last time I tried it too (but still a little clunky)

      Mosaicwm is great, even if still on early development.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
