For our fellow nerds (you’re reading about Linux on the Fediverse, we see you!), dive into the release notes for more details:

support.endlessos.org/en/endle…

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. 🧡

Full proposals are due by June 6.

Very happy and proud of this collaboration between @codethink @gnome and @sovtechfund

codethink.co.uk/articles/2024/…

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.

GSoC didn't even officially started @vixalientoots already made Workbench able to compile and run TypeScript code 🤯 🎩

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.


Got very excited by @matt demo of AccessKit integration in #GTK

AccessKit is a cross-platform abstraction for accessibility infrastructure written in Rust.

His work will bring a11y support for GTK on macOS and Windows as well as for the new accessibility architecture on Linux code-named "Newton".

#GNOME 47 Desktop Environment Is Slated for Release on September 18th, 2024 9to5linux.com/gnome-47-desktop…

@gnome #Linux #OpenSource


Reminder: instead of using StackOverflow for your questions about GTK and the GNOME software stack, use the GNOME Discourse instance:

discourse.gnome.org

You can also use it for applications and the overall GNOME desktop.

I have a huge amount of appreciation for the fact that Nautilus / #GNOMEFiles can seamlessly pattern-select, batch-rename and move files both from its treeview and from search results… all with keyboard shortcuts! *Extremely* useful to clean up filenames.

Today, in someone else's messy folders, I was able to cleanly rename everything and eliminate at least 40 duplicates in a directory that contained over 180 files, most of which were in the wrong locations.

Shoutout to Fina Wilke's Warp! Such a nice, self-contained way to just send stuff between devices. Works like a charm for both my 5GB music folder and that Markdown document I wanted to bring with me on my laptop to do some editing while away from my room. Take it for a spin and experience the magic for yourself!

Apple ecosystem is overrated, welcome to the gnome ecosystem 🤓 (this is mostly a demo and you should not rely on these in a daily basis in a production environment)

Are you interested in hosting #GUADEC2025 in your city? Make sure to let us know by submitting your intent to bid by May 3! foundation.gnome.org/2024/04/1…

This is not your full proposal, just a short form that lets us know who you are and where you want to host.

#GUADEC #GNOME


After more annoyances that Gnome/RedHat is pulling lately ( gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/adwaita… ), I just donated to #Linux #Mint, instead of my original intention, #Gnome.

The Gnome Project is a wall-garden, but not of the Apple kind. It's a club of mostly #Redhat programmers & a few select others, and either you're in it, or you're not. Your user needs, your bug reports, your patches, all end up on /dev/null. They listen to no one. Never have, never will.

So, my money went to a fork.

GNOME will be mentoring 8 new contributors for Google Summer of Code 2024

We are happy to announce that GNOME was assigned eight slots for Google Summer of Code projects this year!

GSoC is a program focused on bringing new contributors into open source software development. A number of long term GNOME developers are former GSoC interns, making the program a very valuable entry point for new members in our project.

In 2024 we will mentoring the following projects:

Project TitleContributorAssigned Mentor(s)
Add TypeScript Support to WorkbenchAngelo Verlain ShemaSonny Piers
Port Workbench demos to Vala, build a new Workbench Library, and replace the current code searchBharat TyagiSonny Piers
Improve Tracker SPARQL developer experience by creating a “web IDE” for developing queriesDemigodCarlos Garnacho
Papers’ small screen and touch support for mobile and tabletMarkus GöllnitzPablo Correa Gomez
More durable synching for FlatSyncMattia FormichettiRasmus Thomsen
Port libipuz to Rustpranjal_jrb
Improve Tracker SPARQL developer experience by creating “web IDE” for developing queriesrachle08Carlos Garnacho
Add support for the latest GIR attributes and gi-docgen formatting to Valadocsudhanshuv1Lorenz Wildberg

As part of the contributor’s acceptance into GSoC they are expected to actively participate in the Community Bonding period (May 1 – 26). The Community Bonding period is intended to help prepare contributors to start contributing at full speed starting May 27.

The new contributors will soon get their blogs added to Planet GNOME making it easy for the GNOME community to get to know them and the projects that they will be working on.

We would like to also thank our mentors for supporting GSoC and helping new contributors enter our project.

If you have any doubts, feel free to reply to this Discourse topic or message us privately at soc-admins@gnome.org

This will allow to make video playback in various apps much faster. And, if everything works out, allow the same for Camera viewfinders in apps like #gnome camera / snapshot 🤞


Is Totem (Gnome Videos) still maintained? As per apps.gnome.org/Totem/ latest version is 43 from 2022. Is it going to be removed from Gnome Core apps or replaced with something new?

I've read your reply to @WestphalDenn@social.cologne questions about working with #Gnome on #Linux. Thanx for your insights!

What interests me:
