Is Totem (Gnome Videos) still maintained? As per https://apps.gnome.org/Totem/ latest version is 43 from 2022. Is it going to be removed from Gnome Core apps or replaced with something new?

@gloopsies@fosstodon.org avatar

Is serious!?!? I used to love back in the day when they used a near stock Gnome DE. I never liked the way Pop!_OS worked against the upstream and how outdated that distribution is nowadays. But Cosmic is so ugly and forcing the themes on apps that explicitly beg you not to do so is just insane. I wouldn't mind if apps had a check to see if they are ran on Cosmic and just segfault if so.

@RL_Dane

I am all for theming in a way that an app or framework supports it, or if you are allowing users to use workarounds to theme unsupported apps with a big warning and explanation, but this is arbitrarily changing colors and icons of all apps without any explanation of what it will do to it => insane amount of unusable apps and bug reports to wrong people

@RL_Dane

I am not surprised it was Manjaro

gloopsies,
@gloopsies@fosstodon.org avatar

@RL_Dane

I used to use Manjaro. I hated libreoffice because it was unusable on it and it had dark icons on a dark background with the default Manjaro theme. Later on I realized Manjaro was the issue all along

But what Cosmic is doing feels even worse now

Oof I switched over to Gnome for a bit (like, a minute or two) and then back to KDE and going back to KDE felt like travelling back in time in a bad way, in terms of how the UI is designed 😔

KDE has much, much better UX, but Gnome is just so pretty 😭

I never understood the appeal of a small application menu hidden in a corner with very small icons. I feel that only people that are used to Windows want it because they are too stubborn to try anything different

I just want to give a big shout out to the @gnome guys they really do have the best designers in the game. It's really a joy to use Gnome and it's effortless to develop good looking apps with gtk/libadwaita (although not the easiest framework to use and it lacks any third party resources)

A very WIP vector graphic manipulation app made with @hare @GTK and packaged as a @FlatpakApps app, I think I just angered every Linux user that has ever existed

What does your development environment look like right now?

(IDE/Text Editor? Terminal Multiplexer? Package Manager? Shell? Programming Language? Containerization? Command Runner? Terminal Emulator?)

gloopsies,
@gloopsies@fosstodon.org avatar

@gregorni

IDEs: jetbrains solutions
Text editors: VS Code and micro depending on purpose
Terminal: Ptyxis
Shell: zsh
Programming languages: a lot of them (go, c, ts, hare...)
Containerization: podman
Distro: Fedora

7.3.0-rc2 containers now available on the @Codeberg container registry for testing:

Finally I can add redict to my deployment. I'll probably wait a bit for it to stabilize but container images are a great step forward

This is the first time I've used Files' bulk renaming, and it's neat! Very useful that it can extract some MP3 metadata as well.

Leap Day this year came with a new and shiny release, including the ability to have extensions work in panels! I'm still waiting for @Vivaldi to give me the pretty version of RSS feeds in a panel, but I'm willing to wait.

We’ve reduced the price of our B-stock Factory Seconds systems and now have a Framework Laptop 13 barebones configuration available for under $500 for the first time.

This is the i7-1165G7 model, so it has healthy performance too. Our Factory Seconds systems come without memory and storage, so to reduce the all-in price, we’re making refurbished DDR4 available at half the price of new.

@frameworkcomputer why is everything available only in the US... :(

I would get a few friends tthat were looking for a cheaper laptop to get an 11th gen framework for 500$

Great news: Thanks to recent @flathub changes, adaptive Flathub apps are now actually shown as that in GNOME Software! Previously they were all marked as desktop-only. You'll start seeing this more and more as apps update 😁️

How is adaptiveness of the app determined?

@BrodieOnLinux I've been watching some videos of yours (great work by the way) but there is one thing I really don't understand. Why do you think rootfull xwayland is going to preserve old x11 window managers. I know you can technically run them in rootfull, but I don't see why anyone would? You can't run Wayland apps inside rootful xwayland, as it stands it's just an extra step to get basically an existing xorg session, or something that acts like a virtual machine, why would you ever do that?

gloopsies,
@gloopsies@fosstodon.org avatar

@BrodieOnLinux Those people will just run x11 as they do now, these are just extra steps to get less features?

One (kinda minor tho) thing I still dont like about is it's handling of cursors.
On Plasma/KWin, when the system is on load, most of the UI components and more importantly the pointer will stay responsive no matter what.
On Gnome/Mutter, since my hardware is low-end (Celeron N4000 and Intel UHD 600), when the desktop or an opened application is doing anything a little heavy, the cursor will goes "E-E-Errrr-Errrr" giving you the sensation of the system starting to stutter like hell… But in fact it's not because the rest of the system is still responsive.
The user experience is kinda "meh" on this side.

gloopsies,
@gloopsies@fosstodon.org avatar

@breadly which version of Gnome are you running? Afaik the latest version moved everything cursor related into a separate thread and that should've helped a lot

gloopsies,
@gloopsies@fosstodon.org avatar

@breadly

Unfortunately it should already be there on Gnome 45... https://www.phoronix.com/news/GNOME-Mutter-KMS-Thread

I think Linux/Wayland, especially on mobile, really misses a universal back button/gesture, something like Android has. Every app has to implement their own version and on Gnome specifically it's usually a button on the top left, the farthest away from where your hand is if you're right handed. It's a similar problem to what iPhones have and one of the reasons i prefer Android over iOS.
