Gnome is a big reason I switched fully to linux
deleted by creator
Gnome especially Mutter is a big reason why I waited for so long to make the full switch.
Looks like a boring update but being boring is kinda the thing I appreciate in GNOME. It’s all about expectations.
Gnome 40 was not a boring update! :)

While most changes (file manager improvements, etc.) are cool to have and are just improvements to the overall experience, what’s up with the “fractional scaling and Mutter improvements”?
Why does nobody explain them more? At least for me, fractional scaling is the first thing that comes to my mind when thinking about what Gnome needs the most.
And performance improvements are also good to hear, but in which aspect? Triple dynamic buffering?Does anyone have further information?
I believe the explanation is “it’s hard, it’s being worked on, but it will take some time until all the pieces are in place”, and they’re not going to hold off releases until it is.
Yeah but new wallpaper! Between this and Plasma 6 I’m having a hard time choosing based on all these new wallpapers.

Yeah, but it sucks. Most XWayland-apps are blurry. So, I have the choice between not being able to read something because of my screen resolution at 100% scale, or activating fractional scaling and having half of my apps blurry.
There was the talk about font scaling a while ago, where UI elements also scale with the font size. Has something happened there?
I think the blurry of XWayland apps won’t be solved in this release, there were some news that may be combined with the settings and make Xwayland apps to be able to scale themselves like in KDE, if I understood it correctly
Ok, the change for the date format in file manager is huge!
They refused to implement it for years
And I think that was my biggest gripe with gnome.
Like me, that user wants to use ISO-8601 format for dates.
I didn’t see that option in the screenshot. Anyone know if that’s possible in this Beta?
Holy cow, over a decade!
Something something filepicker thumbnails. I’m a fan and daily user of GNOME but it has its issues.
Gnome devs are just built different.
When is not sucking going to be added as a feature?
I personally like gnome. Its just a matter of taste I suppose.
I chuckled but that’s harsh.
That’s a Priority 4 Severity 4 ticket. I wouldn’t bet on it being completed until sometime during the next epoch.

KDE devs have taken steps to make more Gnome-like software. A new generation of Gnome devs in the distant future could go full circle ^
If that is the case I might jump ship haha.
There’s a lot more gnome dev streams to learn from. Where as KDE blogs more but are not as technical in their blogs.
Id love technical content on both so I can learn how to contribute overtime by following their news.
Lol thanks but I already use it. That’s what I went to when I finally gave up on Gnome.
That was already in some version of GNOME 3
This would be a minor release in KDE
It is a fairly minor release for gnome. The problem with KDE is that it has so many features that it is harder to use and setup. It also doesn’t have a focus on stability.
KDE has been very stable for years.
That’s not my experience. I’ve had bugs
I’m not sure what you mean??
KDE is usable out of the box, and very easy to use.
Not for me. I want my desktop to be functional and I don’t really customize all that much.
I mean, I run basically stock KDE with the dark theme. It seems functional but maybe we just have different ideas of functional?
They’ve also had to spend several cycles rearchitecting the codebase and reducing duplicated efforts.
Plasma 6’s future seems very bright. Especially if they keep improving Breeze especially if they keep focusing on sane defaults and a simple unified and consistent style.

Both have a new wallpaper, this is truly an age of innovation.

Am I taking crazy pills or did that article not actually include any new features?
It seems like a polishing release to me. Nice of see.
I still miss gnome 2, before gnome shell was a thing…
