The GNOME Foundation's Five-Year Strategic Plan Draft is here! This draft comes after hard work from our ED with input from the Board, Staff, and members but we need YOUR feedback!
"GNOME Wayland sucks because I have to decorate my own windows which is out of the scope for my project."
Just... Don't? :confused_dog: If GNOME doesn't want to have a fallback for server-side decorations, then the intended functionality of the desktop is to just not have window decorations for your app. If people open bug reports about it, close them and direct them to the GNOME issue tracker. I don't get why this is considered a stopper for so many developers targeting Wayland. Just don't have them, I don't get it. :neocat_what:
Since we’re all onboard with telling off Linux evangelists in this moment, Linux has privacy issues too! If your screen goes to sleep, when you come back you’re greeted by your screen contents - not the Lock Screen for a solid two seconds or so (at least in GNOME Shell, the default desktop environment for many distros). #gnome#linux#security
Web Apps lets you install websites as desktop apps, to be displayed in their own window. You can set a custom name or icon and choose which browser features will be enabled. Pick if you want to show loading bars or enable JavaScript, then have your new web app added to your desktop applications list. Use the net in a whole new way with Web Apps!
If anyone wants to or knows someone who wants to hack on a PineNote, let me know. I’m willing to send it to an eager developer for the cost of shipping. It’s unclear where the project is heading, but it seems some people are trying to run Debian and #GNOME. There’s an effort to get mainline #Linux kernel support in for it. I just don’t have the patience and time to contribute.
I’ve already left a message in the Pine Discord offering the same.
Are there any useful learning resources out there that are essentially "build systems for dummies"?
I haven't built any complex projects from source manually so far (spoiled by meson + GNOME Builder's Flatpak integration), but I'm finding myself wanting a better understanding of what's actually happening under the hood to turn the stuff in my project folder into something runnable. I don't know much about tweaking meson.build files, for instance.
I love the bing daily wallpapers, I especially love that they seem to always have a related wallpaper if it's a UN recognised 'day'. For example, today is Bee Day!
For the past 10+ years, I was unable to daily-drive the #Wayland version of #GNOME …
…until 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 🤷
Hey, I am Jan, I am 22 years old and moved from another instance.
I love to play the bass and skateboard, when the weather allows for it.
My favorite songs are ICE579 by Temmis, Edward 40Hands by Mom Jeans. and Wellblech by Nils Keppel.
Like many others on this instance, I am a programmer. I have an interest in #Swift and #Golang development on Linux and I am trying to get more active in the #GNOME community.
Nowadays, I’m primarily a bassist and play in a local band. However, I play electric guitar and sing, too.
I’m in love with indie rock and synthy pop. I love Temmis and Mia Morgan, but enjoy Queen, Margarita Quebrada and re6ce as well.
Prada Shoes by re6ce might be my favourite song, atm.
