I often bounce between #MacOS and #Fedora (stock #GNOME), it’s becoming increasingly clear that the breadth of quality software with superb UX under GNOME is rivalling MacOS… to the point where I'm annoyed by the offering on the Mac.

What exactly does the `gnome-extensions uninstall` command do? #gnome #bash #softwareinstallation #python #gnomeshellextension

I sent some towards #GNOME

If you’re on Linux, there’s a good chance you use GNOME: it’s the default experience across Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora Workstation, Endless OS, and more. If you’re on another desktop, you still likely use components developed by GNOME contributors—or maybe you get apps from Flathub.

Want to become more than just a user? How about… a friend? Become a Friend of GNOME to support GNOME, Flathub, and the work we do!

Giving GNOME a chance on my new Framework 13 laptop. Last time I tried it was around 7 years ago, and it's much better than I remember.

But some ridiculous things keep popping up — like the fact that I still can’t adjust the touchpad scroll speed. What the heck? libinput has supported this for ages. How is this still not a thing?

Ok, #linux users any good option to record your screen with your mouse/touchpad presses included on #wayland #gnome

Or to at least see on the display the mouse/touchpad presses?

Thanks to @s3phy again for helping me understand another area where IPv6 is broken in Linux desktop networking configuration tools: connecting to a SSH server to create a SOCKS proxy using the NetworkManager SSH plugin. That thing only checks if the gateway address is a valid IPv4 address

I reported the issue here: https://github.com/danfruehauf/NetworkManager-ssh/issues/130

I have 90 apps installed!! Fills almost 3 and a half pages of GNOME's app list.

These are apps that create desktop icons. If I count all the Libreoffice icons then it comes to 96 apps. 82 of them are Flatpaks, the rest came preinstalled with Fedora Silverblue.

And to think many moons ago I used to dislike GUI applications so much. Now I can't live without them.

Massive respect for all the people making Linux system more user friendly!
