Are there any useful learning resources out there that are essentially "build systems for dummies"?
I haven't built any complex projects from source manually so far (spoiled by meson + GNOME Builder's Flatpak integration), but I'm finding myself wanting a better understanding of what's actually happening under the hood to turn the stuff in my project folder into something runnable. I don't know much about tweaking meson.build files, for instance.
It looks like I might be a bit of a #GTK fan boy. Looking at my #linux devices that run a DE, all of them are GTK based (#Gnome, #Cinnamon, and #XFCE).
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.
Wrote a little app launcher for all of my manually installed applications using Tauri in about 2 hours and with less than 100 lines of code. The .deb package it generated is just 2.8 MB in size. I added this to my startup applications using Gnome Tweak Tool.
P.S. One hour was spent fighting the borrow checker. AppImage is 164 MB.
@hub Same. The only thought I can share is "I would prefer a concrete example over documentation that vaguely defines all the properties/methods." But it's free, so I have no room to complain, and should probably just contribute once I figure this out.
