Got all gestures wired up in Identity: there's drag-and-drop heavily inspired by Loupe with its beautiful thumbnail (naturally, in Identity it shows playing videos!), there's drag to pan when zoomed in, there's click to "select" a video tile.

I love how easy it is to do drag-and-drop while showing whatever in the thumbnail in #GTK 4 (especially now that sizing and hotspots work ;)). Thanks @sophie and @brainblasted for things I stole from Loupe and @alexm for help with gestures!

#scale20x starts this week! We're still looking for volunteers to help out at our booth. If you're in the LA area and want to join us, learn more here: discourse.gnome.org/t/call-for…

Trying out this RDP based desktop sharing to see if I can use #gnome @gnome for remote work.

It's clunky compared to XForward. An entire desktop required and the shared computer is basically useless to anyone else since it won't share a desktop that's not showing on the monitor in the physical space.

Bit of a leap backwards if I'm being honest. Every time #linux copies #Windows or #MacOS I get this sinking feeling that we've just given up being great and are settling for good enough.


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

You can now enjoy it again at knome.carlschwan.eu/ #kde #gnome




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. :sadness: 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...

@thelinuxEXP

I own a OP6T that is currently being used by my mum and it is running #LineageOS.

Should I claim it back and install #Linux on it?

Which is the best Linux mobile distro? How can I get the cleanest #GNOME experience?




Finally got around implementing #swift demangling support for #GNOME Sysprof (Not upstream (yet?))

The power of FLOSS, a feature you really want is missing? - Just add it


The initial batch of @gnome 44.alpha release is out!

As usual and the name implies, beware dragons.

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 !

A new version of Weather O'Clock, a #GNOME Shell #extension that puts #weather inside the pill next to the clock, has been released

This version is the completion of what I wanted this extension to be. One day I would like to see something likes this upstreamed.

Repository: github.com/CleoMenezesJr/weath…

Get it on GNOME Extensions: extensions.gnome.org/extension…
