Another notable feature merged in the GNOME Calendar live coding session today: the ability to export an entire calendar as an .ics file.

This was originally added to the wishlist 10 years ago: gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-c…

Thanks to @FineFindus's dedication towards implementing this (alongside the individual event .ics export feature) this year, you will be able to use this feature in #GNOME 50 (or the nightly flatpak version of Calendar today): gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-c…

@eht16 To given an overview of the current state of #GTK4 adoption. Out of the active GTK open source projects 71% use GTK4, and 29% still use #GTK3 as of today (#GTK2 not counted). This is an increase of 9 percentage points since Nov 2024. This means that GTK4 will likely crack 90% of active #GTK projects in 2028 (and probably plateaus at such share).

Additionally, 90% of GTK4 projects use #libadwaita (#Gnome), and 6% of GTK3/GTK4 projects use #libgranite.

First MR merged in the currently happening GNOME Calendar livestream: gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-c…

It's already available in the current nightly flatpak version. It is so nice to be able to use the new event quick-add popover, with no extra swirly pages etc. to pick the target calendar. Very efficient! 😌

Thanks to @TheEvilSkeleton for their patience and sisyphean rebasing of that much awaited merge request over the past 2 years 🫡

4 tickets have been closed as a result!

@gnome is cozy computing.

Adwaita apps are calm, focused, consistent. Tasks can often be done offline. Even badges for unread notifications are tinted blue and not red.

Non core apps are maintained by indie developers scratching their own itch. With GNOME Circle, a community of more experienced people help review and polish them.

GNOME is the village of Gauls peacefully resisting the Big Tech Empire with its sole existence.

What are the benefits for Geany of porting it to GTK4?

The editor/IDE #Geany is still #GTK3 and the hampering factor was that the editing engine #scintilla wasn't ported to GTK4 but it exists now.
However, one of the main developers questions, if there are any benefits at all in porting Geany to GTK4:

"I wonder if anyone would find motivation for this. As said in #3675, in my personal opinion there are no benefits at all in GTK4."

I just donate to the @gnome project / foundation. This time I could only manage 10USD! But please if you can spare some money! Support one or more #opensource projects! It does actually make a difference!

Just donated $5 to the GNOME Foundation.

Open source software powers so much of what we do - often built by volunteers.

If you use and love a project, consider giving back - even a few dollars or a thank-you matters.

Einen #Desktop #PC habe ich mir vor ein paar Jahren zusammengebaut. Vielleicht hatte ich keine glückliche Hand bei der Auswahl von #CPU, #RAM und #Motherboard und das Zusammenspiel ist nicht optimal?

Er läuft sehr gut - bis auf unvermittelte Totalabstürtze ohne Logeinträge, die mir weiterhelfen konnten.

Irgendwann stolperte ich über ein #Gnome AdOn zur leichten Ampassung der CPU Leistung. Nach der Begrenzung der max. Frequenz via Multimedia-Mode lief er stabil.

Unter #ubuntu 24 funktioniert das AdOn nicht mehr und ich habe mir nun ein Script eingerichtet, welches nach dem Start die max. Frequenz begrenzt:

for cpu in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu[0-9]*; do
    cpufreq-set -c "${cpu##*/cpu}" -u 4490000
done
Schrittweise habe ich die Frequenz von ca. 4,3 GHZ nach jedem Neustart erhöht, und habe so die Stufe herausbekommen, bis der er ohne Absturtz läuft.

Interessanteweise stürtze er nicht bei Operationen ab, bei denen man es erwartet hätte, z.B. der Transkodierung von #Video. Das letzte Mal rauschte er in die Tiefe, als ich lediglich mit #Firefox #GitHub aufgerufen hatte ... was auch immer da die Frequenz nach oben getrieben hat?

Es handlet sich um einen Intel® Core™ i7-9700. Dass ich die 4,7 GHz nicht zur Verfügung habe stört mich übrigens gar nicht. Jedenfalls bemerke ich keine langsamere Arbeitsumgebung durch die Begrenzung ... und Gnome ist offenbar seit den neuen Versionen stark optimiert worden, was die Geschwindigkeit angeht...

So I'm using LibreOffice 25.8.2.2 on Fedora Workstation 43 GNOME 49.
For some privacy reasons I'll not be able to attach the entire PDF. However, I can show the page 15 that I was trying to open using LibreOffice Draw in image form.

It contains a combination of Bengali & English language and numerals.

EDIT : This previous issue of mine is still not fixed yet -> mastodon.social/@javalps/11534…

When can I expect the new version?

Hey 👋. Unfortunately even after latest update "version 25.8.2.2", this is issue is still not fixed yet 😔.

Could you please do something ?

My thoughts after using GNOME since September 10th:

I feel like GNOME does minimalism & modern design way better than Windows 11 tbh. The Adwaita design is pleasing for my eyes and the colours all look comfortable to look at especially in dark mode. The overview thing was a bit to get used to but now I feel it's very powerful and useful. The search bar works really really well even letting me convert units and do math. The touch-screen like design grew on me even though my initial criticisms of it circled around that. One thing I found hard to get used to was the lack of minimize and maximise so I just turned them back on. Getting KDE apps to use an Adwaita Qt theme was a bit fiddly but I got it eventually. I also love the GNOME Circle as it is full of powerful & useful software.

Obviously this is in no way a "GNOME superior, all other desktops suck" cause it's all personal preference in the end and all DEs serve their purpose to someone :abunhdhappy:. There are some shortcomings especially with multi-monitor stuff but the community made extensions help fill some of the gaps.

Overall just really pretty and feels comfortable to use once you get used to it :bunhdcomfyhappy:.

PSA to #GTK and #GNOME app developers: if your application deals with saving files, it is extra nice to show an in-app notification with an "Open Folder" action button so the user can directly open the containing folder in their file manager afterwards!

Convenience API function in #GTK4 here: docs.gtk.org/gtk4/method.FileL…

It’s been a period of transformation for the Foundation, and the support of every Friend of GNOME truly makes a difference by enabling us to:

• Maintain and improve our infrastructure including GitLab hosting and build pipelines we freely provide to Core, Circle, and World projects

• Provide services for members like blog hosting, chat, and video conferencing

• Support the development of Flathub

One of the nice touches of @linuxmint file manager is that when you open a folder as root, the window displays a nice red banner on top that says "Elevated Privileges".

I tend to like Gnome better, and I wish it had something like that. #Linux #Gnome #ubuntu



RE: mastodon.social/@ebassi/115429…

Got nerdsniped around lunchtime yesterday, and ended up implementing a shared "reduced motion" setting for GNOME and the rest of the xdg stack:

- gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/m…
- gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gsettin…
- github.com/flatpak/xdg-desktop…
- gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/xdg-des…
- gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-c…

#a11y #accessibility #gnome #gtk #xdg #portals


Time for plumbing a whole new accessibility setting from desktop to toolkit: 3 hours

Time for knowing what to plumb: 20 years

Time for bikeshedding on the type of the setting: Positive infinity




this there a way in #gnome or wayland to map ctrl+q to super+q
Super+q is so im my muscle memory




Gestern mal kurz #kubuntu unter den Fingern gehabt.

Ich empfand den #Desktop, Desktopp-Menü, #Dolphin und das Einhängen eines #USB-Sticks kompliziert und unübersichtlich, so ähnlich wie bei Windows.

#Gnome erscheint mir dagegen aufgeräumt und simpel in der Bedienung.

Ist natürlich persöhnliche Geschmackssache.

Just watched this great presentation from @AdrianVovk at the @allsystemsgo conference:

youtube.com/watch?v=uCAlzx_x6r…

It covers the migration to Wayland-only, and of the @gnome session to systemd, eliminating tens of thousands of lines of ancient C code (often a quarter to a half of the codebase depending on the module) and providing more featureful session handling, including session saving and processes suspension. The remote desktop implications are interesting too.

Maaaan... trying to build #GNOME control-center to do some tinkering and during the build I figure out 0pointer.de is down since a dependency lives there.

@pid_eins do you per-chance have any more information on when to expect the site to be functional again (or even if this planned downtime)?


Ich teste momentan ja :gnome: #Gnome unter #Fedora auf meinem Arbeitsgerät, während ich eigentlich seit Jahren privat und vorher beruflich #KDE #Plasma gewohnt bin.

Weiß noch nicht ob ich dabie bleibe. Ich muss mich ehct bei sehr vielen DIngen umgewöhnen und einiges umbiegen bzw. nach meinen Bedürfnissen konfigurieren. Aber eigentlich will ich den Desktop ja nicht zu stark verbiegen...
An anderen Stellen vermisse ich Features.

Nein, ist natürlich nicht alles blöd: Gnome ist wirklich schick und fühlt sich wie aus einem Guss an, außerdem gibt es auch wirklich tolle #GnomeCircle Apps.

Gibt es tolle Exklusiv-Features oder Workflows, die ich mir mal anschauen sollte? 👀



Aber inzwischen hat #Gnome sehr aufgeholt und ich finde die ubuntu Anpassungen besonderes für das #DarkTheme sehr professionell.

Was eine augenfreundliche Farb- und Kontrastgestaltung wert sind, ist mir erst durch eine schwere Erkrankung und folgende chronische Einschränkungen bewusst geworden.
