Reading the STF news feels exciting after a few weeks of them not present. It makes me so happy that GNOME and Libadwaita, along with flatpaks are attracting a lot of developers into contriibuting and experimenting their ideas.

I personally use the proton-vpn-gtk-app from AUR ( the 1.3 section from wiki ). And in cachyOS, i only had to do

paru -S proton-vpn-gtk-app

This was the distro that introduced me to linux, followed by raspbian. Brings so much memories.

Tbh, this is just one of the many things that will lead to stable HDR support. But its nice to see these get solved one step at a time.

I think GNOME 47 would be a big one, and my favourite.

Gnome 47 will be a massive upgrade for sure. And everything I have read are only improvements and not regressions.Many of generally unnoticed ones like in the area of accessibility, thanks to STF.

It is a matrix client. It is maintained by element team itself and still in beta. You can read more and view the source code in the Github repo

I had MPV, Celluloid and VLC. After using showtime and trying a bunch of formats, I uninstalled MPV and Celluloid. I also set it as default too (loves the adwaita UI ). VLC is just there as a backup.

These TWIG issues really shows how much Sovereign Tech Fund boosts the accessibility and modernisation for GNOME. What would have been if all countries started spending such an amount for OSS projects

A very well written blog. Never knew what us he difference between adwaita and gnome, and this blog made clear exactly that.

This is exciting news indeed. Reading last weeks TWIG left me worrying, but this is a releif. Hope the usual accessibility & performance improvement news can be seen from the next TWIG issue onwards.

This is a very welcoming change, especially for those who are starting with workbench and gnome developement.

We’re currently facing a major issue from the GNOME Foundation side. We hope it will be resolved before it impacts the coordination of the STF project, but if not, the future of parts of the project is uncertain.

This blog always gave me hope and joy of seeing progress in Linux. This time, the above news made me a little scared. Hope it all resolves soon.

The following PR actually implements a desktop like UI for firefox android.Hope it will be in atleast beta soon.

https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/firefox-android/pull/5218#issuecomment-1966233109

there are many interesting one's for me this issue, mainly :

• Drag and drop of folders will now work with sandboxed applications (Drop a folder from Nautilus onto Amberol)
• In the works is accessing USB devices with per-device, per-app permissions.
• Adding CSS variables support to GTK.
• Grouping notifications by app in GNOME Shell.
• CalDAV/CardDAV support in Gnome Online accounts.

Hope we get many of these in coming few months.

Same here. being subscribed to unixporn community, hyprland always makes me wanna try it. but everytime i did, i just couldn't make it as my norm. Then i return to my good old Gnome.

(what sereral months of DE/WM hopping made me realize was i am not good at using WM's. The only one i used atleast few months was openbox in archcraft )
