@thelinuxEXP@opensuse I installed openSUSE Tumbleweed with the #gnome desktop environment on my main machine a couple of days ago, due to some people recommending it to me on a post I made. It has been a pretty amazing experience so far, specially since I started out with #archlinux and was used to reinstall my system a few times a year. Even on my machine, that is supposed to run Windows, it has been working very well, battery life is a little better than Arch or other distros, and a few bugs it had with the likes of Manjaro and others are either absent or less of an headache. :meowaww:
Real talk, scrolling tiling window managers are dope. I'm six months in using #PaperWM and I can't imagine going back to a non-scrolling window manager.
Even if you dislike #GNOME I think conceptually it's such good way keep your focus on the keyboard and away from fidgeting with window layout.
All the keybinds I needed to feel more productive: focus window left, focus window right, workspace up, workspace down, toggle window size, collect window.
I did my first #GNOME app illustration today! It's for the initial view of Letterpress (prev. ASCII Images) by @gregorni. If anybody else here has an app in need of some spice, I'd be happy to get some more design practice :)
I suggested to them they might verify their web link, but as far as I can tell the haven't? Also emailed GNOME via their official website to check if this is their account, but didn't receive a response.
Any ideas? Anyone know someone at GNOME who could verify?
I'm not suggesting it's fake by the way, it's just frustrating not to be able to verify! :)
I'm also really interested in immutable systems! They are really cool and interesting to me. Currently I'm using #VanillaOS.
I also like media with environmental storytelling a lot (where you have to figure things out yourself, put the puzzle pieces together.) And I really like CRPG and souls-like games.
I'm kinda new to this social platform and really awkward and shy, sorry for that. I'm not sure if I'm gonna post here a lot. I'm not used to being social.
The new #GNOME apps of Loupe and Snapshot are pretty sweet. It's great that people find the time and passion to be able to contribute their talents for free.
Ever since doing the initial completion support in #phosh 's osk-stub I wanted to add a generic "unix pipe" like completer. phosh-osk-stub would feed the program preedit on stdin and read the completions from the program's stdout.
That is there now and with that and some more changes I can use @zachdecook 's #swipeGuess to do swipe like typing. To be clear: all the hard work is done by swipeGuess, phosh-osk-stub just piggy backs on it:
Upgraded to Fedora 38, and of course GNOME broke. There always seems to be something in GNOME that breaks.
This time, they broke something in GTK rendering, so Slack and IntelliJ windows (and I guess any other windows using legacy GTK) had an almost invisibly tiny title bar on my high DPI screen. Tried installing and using a different GTK3 theme, didn't help.
Decided to try KDE, as I'd been meaning to anyway. Everything on KDE just works, so I guess I'm switching.
Not for the first time, either. Last time I gave up on GNOME it was because installing fonts stopped working. (Manually or via GUI.) I decided to give it another try in 2020, but I guess it's still not ready for prime time.
KDE is also noticeably smoother and more responsive. KDE 5 has lost the ability to set time and date formats easily, but GNOME's no better on that front, so...
I really love the #Linux and #OpenSource community. Three years ago I had no idea how to write an #GNOME application and I had not much programming experience. Now my app has over 1500 downloads on #Flathub, I got really nice feedback from users, someone contributed icons, another one contributed the French translation and I got really useful feedback from the #GNOMECircle team.
It's awesome that people I don't know help me and on the other side people I don't know enjoy using my app.
Just installed #PostmarketOS#Gnome onto my #PinePhonePro to see what all the hype is about and OMG ! That is looking and feeling really good indeed.
Is anyone daily driving this with their sim card in it ?
If so are there issues with making / receiving calls and sms ?
Are there other issues too ?
Is this #Hyprland ? #KDE ? Both? Neither? I'm lost for words..
This happens when choosing "Plasma (Wayland)" in SDDM and it just shows a black screen so I move into tty1 and launch hyprland. I'll ask for help later, now I need to study...
After getting my second monitor, KDE Plasma was logging in to a black screen, forcing me to move to #GNOME, so far it's comfy with some extensions. I can not use #Hyprland properly on my second vertical monitor because it doesn't support the needed layouts1.
