There's something incredibly enjoyable about my neighbourhood in the summer on a sunny "long week-end" when construction stops; you can hear the wind, birds chirping, playful children in the areaโ€ฆ

I've been subconsciously traumatized by the last 10 years of uninterrupted roadworks & building construction noises; it's why in the past 2 years I often escaped the city during weekdays and come back to it on week-ends.
I hope to spend time there more often in 2025; is lovely when quiet.

For the past 10+ years, I was unable to daily-drive the #Wayland version of #GNOME โ€ฆ
โ€ฆuntil version 45.2+, where performance improvements landed for my specific usecases.

Since then, for the past 6 months, I've been running 45.x on Wayland.

This week, when I went back to the Xorg/X11 version for 1-2 days, I was surprised to see it now feels unbearable to me from a performance standpoint! Even with animations disabled.

I guess I can't go back after having used a no-delays no-jank version ๐Ÿคท

It took me a while to realize what felt problematic with @EvolutionGnome's handling of #email signatures for #Markdown users, but I think I figured out the issue: it probably should be expanded to allow defining per-format signature variants... https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/-/issues/2753

I really feel like Linux distros should come with ddcutil preinstalled, and Gnome should build in some sort of functionality to control it, like this: https://github.com/daitj/gnome-display-brightness-ddcutil

Isn't having an external monitor really common? And when all laptops come with dedicated buttons for changing the display brightness, doesn't that suggest that people like to be able to easily adjust the screen brightness? Then why wouldn't we want to do it also on external screens?

With 17.0 (stated to be released on May 16th), the operating system theme preference is now respected, as there is now an opt-in setting to enable "Auto (Experiment)" support in your user preferences panel.
It can finally switch between light & when your OS or desktop environment requests it at various times of the day! I tried it; it works.

You can find it under "User Settings > Preferences > Appearance" when running that GitLab version (it is already the case on gitlab.com)

I contributed to GNOME Shell! It's just a one-liner, but still, it's a contribution!

I added touchpad gestures so you can now change workspaces not just with a 3-finger swipe, but also a 4-finger swipe (or any amount of fingers larger than that, if you're feeling really adventurous).

@gregorni I never realized the number of fingers was limited! Nice improvement.

What has been driving me nuts is the jerky motion during slow multi-finger swipe "and release mid-way", particularly when "Reduce Animations" setting is enabled; it not only feels stuttery, it also jumps into place in what feels like a very broken way. Haven't had the energy to file a ticket to make the whole argument that physically-induced motion should do at least some animationโ€ฆ @TheEvilSkeleton can't unsee it

OK lads, I have no idea what I'm doing but I'm thinking of bringing this HP ScanJet 3300 on a bike ride uphill in Montrรฉal tomorrow, possibly my first entry into . It's padded by some small towels, "secured" by 2x3 bungee stretch cords. Doesn't seem to move when I shake the bike.

Do you think it might hold, or am I better off just putting the scanner in a blue IKEA bag (or sturdy grocery bag) hanging on one of the sides of the handlebar, or in a backpack (it does fit)? ๐Ÿค”

The attitude shown by the packager who insists on going against the will of @keepassxc devs, in this comment: https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc/issues/10725#issuecomment-2104401817 isโ€ฆ wow ๐Ÿคฆ

This "packagers thinking they know better than the developers, and unilaterally patching things" mentality, along with distros often shipping outdated versions, is why many upstream software developers dislike dealing with Debian (& any LTS distro), and now ask users to test/run versions of their applications first and foremost.

Heh, I updated to Ubuntu 24.04 and gnome is not pleased about it ๐Ÿ˜…

i3 looks fine, but Regolith and vanilla GNOME are both borked. That feels like something funky specific to GNOME font handling maybe? But initial troubleshooting steps like tweaking/resetting font choices or refreshing font cache got me nowhere. I'll have to revisit this, but if anybody has ideas I'm all ears.

Ah oui รงa marche bien gnome et ses extensions. Jโ€™ai juste pris une extension compatible pour avoir un dock anime, jโ€™ai voulu glisser dรฉplacer des apps pour les rรฉorganiser et paf pastรจque.

Et รงa plante tout le bureau cโ€™est impressionnant. Tu peux dire adieu ร  tous les trucs pas sauvegardรฉs dans tes apps mรชme si alt-tab ou la touche super fonctionnent et permettent de changer dโ€™app. Cet รฉcran les recouvre et te force ร  logout.

@AxelTerizaki Je n'ai pas eu cet รฉcran "BSOD" depuis 5-10 ansโ€ฆ Mรชme considรฉrant que les soi-disant "extensions" ne sont que des modifs "ร  chaud" du coeur (donc trรจs risquรฉes, mieux d'en utiliser le moins possible), ce message n'apparaรฎt que lorsqu'il y a un truc grave qui s'est passรฉ, soit une extension vraiment mal foutue, ou, pas mal probable dans ton cas: pilote graphique qui s'รฉtouffe.

Pour le "nouveau" bug, ร  moins que รงa affecte les usagers Ubuntu de Daniel Van Vugt, รงa va รชtre dur d'intรฉresser des gens pour qqch spรฉcifique au backend X11, surtout en nVidia, le 2-hit combo mortel qu'aucun dev n'utiliseโ€ฆ vu que nVidia est supposรฉ passer ร  Wayland aussi bientรดt.

Je comprends pas comment quelqu'un a pu valider le fait que sous Linux avec wireplumber, les sorties audio se mettent en veille.

Du coup chaque fois qu'une notif doit arriver via une app, on entend mรชme pas ou ร  peine la notif parce que le temps que l'audio se rรฉactive et que le volume remonte (il commence ร  0) ben on a loupรฉ la notif.

Je sais, pas รงa me sidรจre. C'est vraiment abhรฉrrant comme comportement d'UX. Je croyais que c'รฉtait propre ร  Arch (je l'avais corrigรฉ ร  l'รฉpoque de l'install) mais visiblement sur d'autres distros pareil.

@gnomelibre @AxelTerizaki Heu j'ai jamais eu le problรจme avec mes diverses cartes son en tout cas (intรฉgrรฉes, PCI, USB), รงa sonne comme un problรจme de pilote, spรฉcifique ร  un modรจle particulier? Tout est instantanรฉ chez moi, je reรงois chaque son, et si y'a une suspension du matรฉriel entre les deux eh bien elle est de toute รฉvidence imperceptible dans mon cas.

@AxelTerizaki @gnomelibre Si รงa se constate juste sur sortie son HDMI vers TV, รงa explique pourquoi je n'ai jamais rencontrรฉ le bug, et รงa sonne juste comme un rapport de bug ร  trouver/ouvrir sur le fait que รงa ne devrait pas faire รงa pour les sorties son HDMI.

Parce que sinon, si les autres pรฉriphรฉriques n'ont pas de tel dรฉlai, ben je peux dire que j'apprรฉcie fortement le fait que mon ThinkPad usagรฉ avec une batterie sur deux peut tenir une autonomie de 16 ร  25 heures sous Fedora, par dรฉfaut.

nekohayo,

@AxelTerizaki @gnomelibre ร‡a sent suspicieusement comme un bug, parce que mes glissiรจres de volume (sous GNOME Shell, GNOME Settings, et pavucontrol) ne bougent absolument pas par elles-mรชmes ยซ Lorsqu'il y a / n'a pas de sons qui jouent ยป, sur aucun de mes ordinateurs.
