Fedora Strategy 2028: Focus area review (Accessibility)
Hello. Yes, sometimes, setting things up is a challenge, however, things are improving. The QT environment variables are definitely not needed for QT 6, and likely 5. Same can be said about GTK_MODULES, which are not needed at least from GTK 3.Fedora Discussion
➡️ @torvalds
Torvalds is of course the original developer of the Linux kernel.
(We know the account is official as it uses the Linux kernel's official kernel.org domain in its address.)
Thank you to @Linux and @SF8910 for the headsup!
I think we’re gonna get some thing spiked out and prototyped, but spoiler alert: it’s to do with making GNOME feel more your own while considering the needs of app authors and distros, and even other toolkits. 🌈

But if you have tested your distribution’s installer, and set up accessibility flags and such, like Debian, let us know, loud and proud. Reach out and welcome us. And try not to shrug your shoulders and grunt when your distribution doesn’t work on our hardware. If your website is nice and clean and fast, and you’ve had a blind person try it, and they’ve thanked you for giving a damn, shout it, loud and proud. Be proud of your support for people with disabilities. But also understand that blind people aren’t the only disabled population out there, and reach out further. But if your stuff works for even one set of the disabled population, you should be proud of that.

My Favorite Thunderbird Supernova Feature
Meet The Team: Alex Castellani, Product Design Manager
Meet the humans behind the Thunderbird software you use and love. Let's kick it off with our Product Design manager, Alex Castellani!Jason Evangelho (The Thunderbird Blog)
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.
but dang, i just printed 60+ pdfs with a single simple command:
lp -d PRINTERNAME *.pdf
that would have taken ages if i had to point and click and load every single one.

Typographical typing habits for Linux
Many of our bad habits date back to the limitations of typewriters. Typography lends us the voice that the written word takes away from us. Good typography makes your message accessible and comprehensible and strengthens its intent.Aral Balkan

No 2 ways about it, this is a big device. It has a 17 inch screen, 16:10. It weighs 2.8 kilos, and it's 38 cm wide, 27 cm deep, and 2.7 cm thick.
The chassis is made of aluminium and has literally no flex, no bend, no creaking. It also resists fingerprints really well, thanks to a soft touch coating on the inside of the laptop.
You're free to open it, and you can access and replace the 2 M.2 SSD slots, the RAM, the wireless card, and the battery as well, which is screwed in and not glued.
The CPU is the AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX. All models come with at least 16 gigs of RAM, and an RTX 3070Ti with 8Gigs of vRAM. You also get 250 gigs of PCIe3 SSD, and Wifi 6 + BLuetooth 5.2.
It can go up to 64 Gigs of 4800 Mhz RAM, up to 4TB of PCIe 4 storage, and, either an RTX 3080, or a 3080Ti. And all cards run at their maximum Total Graphics Power allowed by Nvidia,. You also get a 99Wh battery.
On geekbench 6, it gave me scores of 2121 in single core, and 10219 in multi core.
I ran the Shadow of the Tomb Raider benchmark, at high settings, at the native resolution of 2560x1600, and it got me an average of 101 FPS. When cranking all the settings to the max, still at the native resolution, it managed to reach 97 FPS. At 1080p highest details, the Stellaris 17 got 110FPS.
It also gave me an idea about thermals, at 75 °C under heavy load, which isn't bad at all.
With its 99Wh battery, running in Nvidia on demand mode, with the display at 50% brightness, wifi being used to play youtube videos in a loop in Firefox, the laptop lasted for 8 hours and 12 minutes.
The keyboard uses Cherry MX ultra low profile switches. The key travel is really good, at 1.8 mm, and the click happens at 0.8 mm. Some of the keys aren't using mechanical switches, notably the function keys and the whole numpad, they're using membrane switches instead.
The touchpad is humongous. It's also thankfully centered, and it's covered in glass, so it's really smooth. It feels very precise, and using it with tap to click feels great.
It's a diveboard mechanism, so obviously you can't click everywhere on it, it has to be in the bottom half of the touchpad, and the sound it makes is satisfying and doesn't rattle.
The dislay 16:10, 17 inches, and it goes up to 240hz refresh rate. It is G Sync compatible, to avoid any screen tearing issues. It's decently bright, at 380 nits, and it has full sRGB coverage.
In terms of ports, on the left, you get the usual Kensington Lock, a USB-A 3.2 Gen2x1 port, a microphone input, and a headphone jack. On the right, you get an SD card reader, and 2 USB-A 3.2 Gen1 ports. And on the back, you have a port for the Aquaris external watercooling solution, a USB-C 3.2 Gen2x1 port, an HDMI 2.1 port, a Gigabit ethernet port, and a barrel jack.
Let's finish with the mic, speakers and webcam. The microphone is decent, but nothing to write home about. You'll want to run it at about 25% volume. The speakers get really loud, but they don't distort or sound tinny at all, they have a good amount of bass.
As per the webcam, well it's 1080p, and it can produce good results with decent lighting, but it's still a bit grainy even in natural light. It's just a small notch above the usual potato cam.
