Due to some intense peer pressure (and procrastination of more important tasks), I resuscitated one of my masterpiece: the KNOME website, the perfect fusion of @gnome and @kde
📱 I've tagged version 0.1.0 of #feedbackd (a daemon to handle audio, haptic and led feedback on #LinuxMobile e.g. when using (but not limited to) #phosh :

I am profiling #GNOME Shell (MASSIVE thanks to #fedora enabling frame pointers for all packages in 38 making this possible) and noticed clock_gettime() taking up a huge chunk. Turns out I hit bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.c…: many #AMD laptops are forced to use a very slow clock source (HPET instead of TSC). #Lenovo fixed it with a BIOS update for some laptops but not mine. Kernel param tsc=reliable results in big speedups (up to 30% in browser benchmarks) but unsure if it impacts stability :/
I spent yesterday evening trying to see how to make apps that use #libadwaita (the latest UI for #GNOME), and walked away with a streak of anger over a surprising lack of documentation and examples.
#GTK and #GNOME app development have always been a quest that involves throwing a ring in a fiery mountain, while hoping for the best, but in the 25 years since GTK+'s introduction, it has only gotten worse, it just looks prettier now. sigh. #linux
Sometimes I find it very hard to know how to look for/describe #GNOME bugs. I could use some help with this one. It's a bug in #libadwaita as I can trigger it both in GNOME Files and GNOME Settings. I just have no clue how to describe it. I think searching on "dialog" might be too narrow of a search, and I also don't know what to give as extra info (platform, version...). I can't seem to find it in the gitlab repo, which surprises me as it's such a major regression...
Embloggeration happened: in which I expand on the topic of writing API that can be used by multiple languages in the land of #gnome hopefully to the benefit of people writing libraries and language bindings
• Ported to #GTK4 / #libadwaita • Responsive/mobile UI • New and clearer onboarding experience • Improved Web performance • Follow system light/dark theme
Thank you to everyone involved in the GTK4 port of WebKit ♥️
Hi, GNOME 44.alpha is now available. This is the first unstable release leading to 44 stable series. An GNOME OS install image is not available for this release due to a handful of issues, but you can still grab a Nightly image from os.gnome.
@gnome why does your forum have a horizontal scroll bar?! And for such a small amount of scroll! I know whoever runs this account probably won't be able to help, but still I express my anger! #gnome
It's with great pleasure to announce that the CfP for Linux App Summit is open! Please consider submitting a talk - it will be in person in Brno - April 21-23, 2023 - linuxappsummit.org/cfp/ hosted by both GNOME and KDE projects. It's the perfect mix of the application stack from the kernel to the toolkit to third party developers !
The Linux App Summit (LAS) is designed to accelerate the growth of the Linux application ecosystem by bringing together everyone involved in creating a great Linux application user experience.

Super interesting blog post from Allan Day going through the results of the GNOME user survey. Glad to see Fedora Workstation being so well represented. blogs.gnome.org/aday/2023/01/1… #gnome #fedora #linux

Thanks, the link is interesting (if a bit confusing). What i was missing was the 'share' button was not asking for an internet-like share, but was asking permission to send the screenshot to another app.
I can probably work with this (though the page implies once you share it once, you shouldn't have to do it again, at least with a current version of Gnome - am i misisng something?)
I guess one of the drawbacks of getting back into "Lets run Linux as a primary desktop" is realizing that yeah, the linux community is STILL full of egos that don't like being told what they should and should not do, no matter what the impact on the users.
The call for #GNOMEAsia2023 locations is open! Host this year's summit in your city by submitting a bid. More details about how to submit and what your proposal should include can be found here: foundation.gnome.org/2023/01/1…
