@gnome Very nice guide, going to try on my 2nd #oneplus6 soon. Have you managed to get the OSK working in Telegram? If so, how? I am having problems with the OSK not activating in several apps, including TG Desktop, but so far I only tried #postmarketos edge with #gnome-mobile. #mobilelinux
How fast can you type? Find out with my new app, Keypunch!
I've worked on this for the last couple of months, and it's finally out. Keypunch lets you practice your typing skills with automatically generated pseudo-text in your language of choice. Alternatively, you can supply it with your own text, such as song lyrics, Wikipedia articles, and quotes. Get ready to accelerate your typing speed!
Shout out to Text Pieces! I needed to URL-encode a big ugly string (creating a template form from URL parameters, yay!) and yep, sure enough, it made it stupidly easy.
The next time you need to encode, transform, or convert some text on Linux, reach for this pretty little offline app instead of pasting your data into some random website. 👍
I was sad to find a surprising lack of visual scripting apps for Linux. Apple's Shortcuts app is very powerful and can be incredibly useful. It's not like we don't have the technical ability to make something similar.
Recently, the Linux Mint Blog published Monthly News – April 2024, which goes into detail about wanting to fork and maintain older GNOME apps in collaboration with other GTK-based desktop environments.
As the #Nautilus team keeps making progress in refactoring and optimizing #GNOMEFiles, we can see #GNOME's file manager steadily becoming faster.
Among the few performance issues remaining, I believe the probable "Final Boss" of search performance is this issue, which would require some refactoring across the views. Anyone up for a challenge? gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilu…

It's not long until the 1st of June, so why not pick up the guitar and learn some catchy tunes for the summer? I've just published version 7.0 of Fretboard, which brings more accurate chord name prediction, note names on hover for the neck top toggles, and a couple of fixes for various small issues encountered since last release. It should be on Flathub very soon!
Huge thanks to @kabushawarib for eliminating the flickering that occurred in #GNOMEFiles 46's "Global Search" feature! This should help performance a bit, and improve #accessibility for light/motion-sensitive users. If all goes well, the bugfix would probably make its way into #Nautilus 46.3, I presume. gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilu…
As of recent versions, including Nautilus 46 and the current nightly / git main version, Nautilus constantly rebuilds/refreshes the search results view everytime you type a character,...
We are happy to announce that GNOME is sponsoring two Outreachy internship projects for the May-August 2024 Outreachy internship round where they will be conducting a series of short user research exercises, using a mix of research methods.
Sometimes I hack around with the transparency & blur implementations for #GNOME, create a #GtkWebView2 with a transparent background enabled, and just am in awe for a minute at what is possible on this platform
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!
We're proud to share that @blackpythondevs have joined the GNOME Foundation nonprofit umbrella. This new partnership will benefit both of our communities and we're thrilled to have them onboard! Learn more: foundation.gnome.org/2024/05/2…
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.
In some aspects, such as in gaming, the Linux desktop has made
enormous strides in the past few years. In others, such as
accessibility, things have stagnated.
Endless OS 6 is available now as a free upgrade for existing users and a free download for new installations! Let’s take a look at what’s new and improved in the latest release of our completely free, user-friendly operating system packed with educat…
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. 🧡
The #GNOMEAsia2024 intent to bid is due tomorrow! If you are interested in bringing GNOME Asia to your city make sure to let us know by submitting an intent to bid by May 15. More details on how to submit here: foundation.gnome.org/2024/04/3…
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.
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.
Hello everyone! I am excited to to let you know that we will be reviving GNOME’s social hour event! The first one will be held on 25th March. The purpose of this social hour is to bring together the GNOME community.
