Sketch Friday is here! I need to trace some of these. Been doing sketches and leaving the vectors to others, cheating myself of the Inkscape pleasures.
I installed #gnome to hunker down and "get stuff done" as I was before using #windowmaker, but now that I'm using gnome, some things work nicer and easier, but overall I think I may go back to #windowmaker.
This probably isn't possible but I thought I'd throw it out there.
I just happen to have installed #Ubuntu from scratch and used #Gnome. And I have no interest in using Gnome for anything, I don't like it. BUT, the trackpad handling is excellent! Gestures, and the scrolling, it's great. I can't seem to find a way to pull whatever handles the mouse handling out of Gnome and use it within my own #Linux Window manager. I probably don't understand the layers of Gnome, and that's fine. But I sure wish I could have just that functionality. For years, I've had janky trackpad handling on Linux because I thought it was as good as it could get.
And of course, thank you to the free & open source projects & communities of Linux, Debian, and GNOME for many of the improvements we’re shipping in Endless OS 6. We strongly believe in open source, and would not be able to have the impact we do without standing on the shoulders of the projects we build upon. 🧡
It looks like I might be a bit of a #GTK fan boy. Looking at my #linux devices that run a DE, all of them are GTK based (#Gnome, #Cinnamon, and #XFCE).
I'm having a hell of a day with Firefox today (and part of yesterday). Since 126.0 was released many websites make Firefox crash (for example opening images here in Mastodon but also a Grafana dashboard and others). All in Gnome with Wayland and Ubuntu 24.04. Are other people having the same issues? #Firefox#Ubuntu#Wayland#Gnome
@adelgado I've had no problems with #Firefox 126.0 but I'm on #Fedora 40 with #GNOME & #Wayland. IIRC this can happen when you did not close all instances of Firefox $previous_version. Try closing all Firefox windows and also make sure that there are no lingering instances ($ ps ax | grep firefox). Then start Firefox again and see if that helps.
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?
If you're a developer, you'll find Text Pieces useful. The same is true for anyone who finds themselves needing to encode, decode or convert snippets of text between different formats. The app comes with lots of powerful text transformation actions, and even lets you define your own. Let it remove any duplicate lines or give it the functionality to change all your tabs to spaces. Text Pieces can do anything!
Our goal is to make GNOME OS a daily driver for QA and finalize the migration, but this work will be fundamental to the future of all secure image based / immutable Linux distributions.
One setting/feature I wish was in #GNOME Files (formerly Nautilus) is the ability to exclude removable drives from the recently-used files list. "Recents" is handy and I'd like to leave it on, but what's the point of listing thumb drives that aren't even in the system?
(Same could be said of many network file shares, but that should be a separate setting. Maybe have a list of paths and addresses to ignore, like /media or 10.10.10.10:/ )
Just watched it and it is really interesting. I am so fascinated by these completely alternative ways to interact with a computer.
The screen reader does not tell what it can see on the screen, but rather communicates directly the interface of an app to the user, its structure and content.
I hope this new accessibility stack will be ready as soon as possible! It will be like an update from #GNOME 1 (or 2?) to current (right now 46) for sighted users.
