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.

Nightly can be configured by advanced testers to use custom prompts and any compatible chatbot, such as llamafile, which runs on-device open models, including open-source ones. We are excited for the community to share interesting prompts, chatbots, and models as we make this a better user experience. We are also looking at how we can provide an easy-to-set-up option for a private, fully local chatbot as an alternative to using third-party providers.

I think they could’ve waited until they properly tried implementing a local llm. Anyway glad to know that we have options and gonna try this.

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 used to be on pure Arch for 2.5 years, but currently uses cachyOS. And its so much removes the pain points of arch, as well as giving super fast performance.

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.

True. I’m glad that the multiple lemmy releases during past months didn’t make the app unusable.

Most of the speed is due to them compiling packages with the x86-64-v3 and x86-64-v4 instruction set and LTO.

That means the CPU need to be little newer to take advantage of, too

Hey there. Welcome to gnome and looking forward to seeing your work.

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.

Here ya go

Detailed release notes : Wine gitlab

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 )

The slowness with libretube mostly origin from the server/instance you selected ( i am not sure though ). Maybe try a different instance ?

If you are interested learning more, there was a veritasium video about analog chips where he quite well explained the working of and the usecases .
