Resources is a modern interface for managing your system's processes and your open applications. See what programs you have running, and kill the apps that are wasting resources. If you want to see if that helped, you can view the usage graphs for your processor, memory, GPU and more. With Resources, keeping your system in check has never been easier!
You can follow the app's creator here: @nokyan

Frog is such a neat little Linux desktop app to extract text from images.
You can give it an image (file selector, drag & drop) or let it take a screenshot. And you can even paste an image from your clipboard!
This is great for adding alt text when posting an image or copying text (as text) from a screenshot for sharing (or adding to UI mockups, as I often do).
It also reads QR codes and supports several languages.

Georges Stavracas is currently putting a lot of effort into a really nice project roadmap, spreadsheet and task board for XDG Desktop Portals:
@dino 0.4.3 just got released with some exciting improvements for #LinuxMobile
1. Several fixes for touch input, making audio/video calls actually usable on phones
2. Fixes for video support so devices with #libcamera / #pipewire support like the #PinePhonePro work now
3. The app is now recognized as mobile friendly on #Phosh
4. Stricter #Flatpak sandbox - no device/all any more
The new version is available on #Flathub and lots of distro repos.
The combination of rapidly-improving technologies like GNOME, Flatpak, Wayland, and Portals also means our active privacy protections are also better than ever before.
I went on to write:
>If and when we are able to develop an open, peer reviewed, industry-respected method of responsible and privacy-first telemetry, we may consider doing so.
While that post was in the context of elementary OS, I believe every word I wrote.

This is @halfmexican; GNOME Outreachy student excited that their effort to make a modern and sandboxed Camera demo for Workbench has paid off 🛠️
Well done! 🎉

If you're interested in using Typescript for GNOME apps, you can now use the new Typescript SDK Extension. I've also published a Typescript Template you can use as a starting point for your apps.

Alright, here's a response article to @martijnbraam's "Developers are lazy, thus Flatpak". I'll be addressing some of their claims by explaining why some of the design decisions make sense the way they are.

Thanks! (Can I claim a third pack by reporting a bug my patch introduced? :D)
I think Month of LibreOffice & the sticker packs are a great way to get more people involved long-term - after all the first patch/translation/bug report is often the most cumbersome one due to all the setup overhead.
I always try to lower the barriers I bump into along the way, eg. submitted this patch to #fedora to include all build debs ootb:

Official #flatpak build env when?
@fraggle FYI I threw together a 5-minute #Flatpak manifest for SDL Sopwith. Mostly works!

“Wow!” — my reaction when I first saw the brand new logo for Flathub. The de-facto Flatpak app store for Linux that every other post on this site seems toJoey Sneddon (OMG! Linux)
Years ago elementary was approached by Canonical to become an official Ubuntu flavor. “All” we had to do was offer Snap out of the box. We debated it—being able to offload some additional infrastructure concerns was attractive—but we realized it helped Canonical more than it helped us, and we had chosen Flatpak for all of its benefits as covered here:

Unfiltered Flathub is approved to be provided as a third party repo you can enable for Fedora 38! In the next release, if you enable Flathub as a third party repo, you will get everything on Flathub and not just the Fedora Flatpaks.

Say hello to Tally for Plausible, a rebrand of my Plausible app to better differentiate it from Plausible Analytics itself!
The app supports:
• Your dashboard from Plausible.io
• Custom domains
• A refreshed design
• Cross-desktop light/dark style
• A more app-like experience
• Theoretically, phones!*
Grab it now from Flathub:

If you look at the roadmap for our next major ESR (#Thunderbird Supernova, version 115), you'll notice our goal to complete most features is Q4 2022.
That's because we're entering "feature-freeze" by the end of 2022, and then spending several months on polish and refinement.
This should also mean a longer beta-testing period (and yep, we're working hard on official stable and beta #Flatpak channels).
We want Supernova to exceed your expectations. developer.thunderbird.net/plan…

Linux distributions have changed quite a bit over the last 30 years, but the way that they package software has been relatively static. While the .lwn.net

Is it just me or can’t Fedora Silverblue install Flatpaks downloaded from the web (flatpakref) in GNOME Software?
(This is a valid, decentralised way of distributing software that doesn’t require centralised services like Flathub, etc. and should be supported as a first-class citizen in free and open operating systems.)
