From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

i hope the global hotkeys solution is portable, otherwise wayland will remain fractured.

Some great new features! Looking forward to trying this out

Here's one that uses and likes Gnome apps (on Sway, so no automagic adaptation to changes in the framework), and strongly dislikes the major updates that always break at least a handful of things... Oh well, here we go again.

Yes, Gnome extensions shall be impacted once again for sure. But, at least that is not a deal breaker for me.

Gnome 48 arrived on Arch and guess what – absolutely nothing broke! The only change was that fonts on non-Gnome apps got a little bit bigger. Quickly found a new switch in dconf-editor to the effect of 'let the framework decide how to display fonts or respect user's settings' – flicked that from 'Automatic' to 'Manual' and everything was back to how it ought. Best Gnome update ever <3

I look forward to Digital Wellbeing.

Considering Gnome 48 won't hit stable distros any time soon, any recommendations for alternatives?

GNOME’s JavaScript engine, a core part of the desktop, has reduced CPU and memory usage for many common operations.

JavaScript? Oh dear
