I don’t think Gnome Tweaks is an extension. Just an app that exposes some settings and DCONF options that haven’t been added to the usual settings menu.
But nah, I don’t use that either. Font settings really should be in the normal settings menu, though.
I pretty much change a couple of keybinds, remove a few .rpms and replace them with Flatpaks, and that’s it.
I usually like to stay extension-free, but this looks pretty cool. I might try it out next time I’m on my PC. Something new.
Yes, there are ways to install newer versions in a way that shouldn’t cause any issues (as opposed to adding a bunch of unstable repos): Flatpak.
IMO Flatpak has made Debian a lot more usable. You get the stability of the Debian base system but can have newer apps if you want to, without unnecessarily complicating matters with PPA repositories that seemingly always fuck up.
We’ve come a long way. An analogue clock in particular seems crazy to me lol
It’d be interesting to see a timeline of different UIs on Linux, from the beginning to now
I’ve never actually done it, because the only extension I use is Blur My Shell, and the dev is so quick at updating that extension that even when I immediately update to a beta release it’s already marked as compatible, but here it is:
gsettings set org.gnome.shell disable-extension-version-validation true
And if you want to revert back to normal and have extensions be validated again:
gsettings reset org.gnome.shell disable-extension-version-validation
I don’t know if there’s a GUI way to do it in one of the extension management platforms, I’ve never really looked
The 2nd. And even then, you can just turn off version checking and extensions generally just work.
It absolutely is. I even tested it with WiFi turned off.
Gnome like to get things perfect before they make it default. It’s what makes Gnome pretty stable, even if it does mean power users have to type in a command to expose the setting in the meantime.
The wait can be frustrating though.
The first thing is what they did. They knocked on the door, they spoke. At one point he was detained when they had a look about and then they apologised and left.
There was no SWAT (this is Germany so technically it would be a SEK team I guess), there was no flashbangs (why would police even have those?), there were no rifles in faces.
This isn’t SWAT. Or SEK, since this is Germany.
It’s just the usual armed police.
Allegedly, someone (likely a hater of this dev) reported that this dev was going to kill his partner then himself. Armed police turned up.
Guns aren’t the only thing that can cause bodily harm.
There was no arrest.
Idk why this submission is being downvoted, this is some nice work.
The attention to detail in Libadwaita is pretty great
Fedora. Installer is a bit rubbish (being replaced soon) but it’s not difficult.
In terms of speed, stability, and being up-to-date it’s been exceptional IMO.
Pop is the only one that really ever makes any reference to windows in its marketing
Gnome is great. I don’t really see how it’s tablet-like. It’s an extremely keyboard-focused desktop.
It’s a great addition. It’s a surprisingly powerful aspect of gnome that nobody, not even Gnome, ever seem to talk about.
They really should place a text file in that folder to explain how it works (and of course exempt it as being used as a template)
The work the Asahi team have done boggles my mind.
They’ve got further with gaming on Apple silicon than Apple has with their game-porting-toolkit.
Despite:
being on a completely unsupported OS
running through a virtual machine
having to rewrite all the hardware drivers from scratch, without the benefit of having hardware schematics/documentation
not having the benefit of using APIs that were made from the ground up to work well on this hardware specifically
And probably some other stuff I’m completely in the dark on because their work is so beyond me.
