Last summer GNOME invited its users to run a simple information collection tool to provide it with data on how people configure and use the GNOME desktop.
Now it’s sharing details about what it learned.
More than 2,500 people ran the gnome-info-collect tool on their systems. This relayed (non-sensitive or identifiable) data back to GNOME servers. The aim: to learn more about how GNOME users use GNOME, and use that information to make GNOME better.
If you’re interested in learning every dot, dime, and detail of what was uncovered you’ll want to grab a got coffee and imbibe the info-dense blog post GNOME’s Allan Day has put out.
You don’t need to install Flatseal to manage Flatpak app permissions. You can do from the command-line; from the Settings > Applications section on GNOME-based desktops; or through Discover on KDE Plasma.
But Flatseal provides a simpler, saner overview to those — plus it has a handy ‘reset’ button to undo changes you make!
Wow, I'm a GNOME fan, I like it the way it looks. And I miss the gestures in MacOS, so I use Gesture Improvements.
By the way, I want to use tap in gdm, not click, maybe make tap default.
When use dynamic workspace, there's always a new workspace on the right, maybe we could just remove it?
Alse set wayland to default, so we don't need to apply GDM wayland.

Sorry, I thought we were talking about how to make garuda-gnome better, so I offered my opinion. Maybe I got it wrong
I do like Wayland too, but right now I use X11, because the MozillaVPN-App doesn’t work with Wayland. Problems like that are still common in Wayland and it doesn’t offer much which is missed when X11 is used. I think until Wayland is more commonly accepted using X11 is good. Also: It’s very easy to switch.
I don’t understand. Of course there’s always a new workspace on the right. That’s how dynamic workspace functions: You always get one more than you’re using right now.
I personally use Wayland full time and it has given me very few issues, but I wouldn’t recommend it as the default. The following video gives a good explanation…
I perfer the MacOS way. It has not a new workspace on the right. Instead, MacOS puts windows in a new workspace when maximized.
By using the extention Maximize To Workspace With History I got same experience, except I can not remove the extra workspace.
Paleta is a simple GTK4/libadwaita app for Linux. It uses the JavaScript-based color-thief library to extract dominant colors from an image, and presents the hues as a color palette with RGB and Hex values ready to copy/paste elsewhere.
You can even choose how many colors are generated from the image, and specific a palette accuracy level (the lower the accuracy the faster it works).
Helpfully, you can save color palettes the app generates, give them a custom name, and easily reference them again in future from within the app. The color palette library is a real time saver and you can even edit palettes to remove colors or change their value.
Console’s tab overview speeds-up switching between terminal tabs by giving you a top-level look at all your open tabs and running process. Like a bird to a worm, you can spot the one you need and click on it (or select it with the keyboard) to swoop in and interact.
Should the tab you want not be open — it happens — there’s a large “new tab” button at the bottom (very touch-friendly) so you can launch a new session to do what you need.
Keep in mind that GNOME 44 is due to be released on March 22, 2023. Accordingly, the features mentioned in this article are subject to change and/or refinement until release.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank @psi-jack for his time, and efforts to make improvements to the Garuda Gnome edition. Unfortunately, it appears @psi-jack's interest has wained in regards to working on the Garuda Gnome edition any further.
Anyone who feels they have the dedication and capabilities of maintaining the Gnome edition please feel free to express your interest on this thread. Hopefully in the future someone will step forward again to show the Gnome edition the long term love it deserves.
This thread will automatically lock in one week, as the threads originator is no longer active on the forum.
As a suggestion, instead of simply consigning this thread to history can it be kept open so that good pieces of Gnome / GTK4 software can be posted and commented on when it becomes available. It would provide a good resource for Garuda Gnome users when looking for useful software. Alternatively, if this is not possible then can a new Gnome thread be started?
You can always use hints on good software, you don't need this thread for that.
It would be more important, if not only messages are copied from the Internet and posted here, which only inflates the forum unnecessarily, but that those speak from their own experience. So they themselves have tested this software for a longer time, and give their personal opinion about it.
I personally like Blender and Inkscape, but it is unnecessary in this forum that I therefore announce here every new version, or point to certain add-ons that have just appeared or will appear.
We also don't need announcements about new kernels, we always use/get what's current anyway.
More important would be to test it ourselves and warn if there could be complications.
I'm tired of having to read for years what great new things are coming soon from KDE.
Instead of solving old problems first.
Latte Dock for example was great, but only one person took care of it???
This wonderful person now has no time for this project and no one in the great community of KDE can continue it?
Latte Dock is therefore dead.
What I mean is, it would be more helpful to find "bugs" in your favorite distribution, make improvements to the source code, help get the wiki translated into other languages, etc. and so on, than to bloat certain DE's with "new" software.
We need a good, solid foundation, which individuals can expand according to their needs.
