While I'm more of a KDE person myself, it's always nice to see a popular FLOSS desktop going strong - kudos to the gnome team!

Thank you for the link! So much better to read than watch a video IMO
Love Gnome 🥰
I take it they still haven’t developed the theme API they promised?
There doesn't seem to be any improvements in how GNOME handles multiple monitors so it's still not a viable option for me. But I guess it's nice to see them implementing features other users want.
I really hope the fractional scaling coming out of experimental means that GUIs will scale properly so that text is not all blurry, although I am ready for that to not be the case.
It depends on the app
A lot of apps are electron-based and all those look ass unfortunately. Incredibly blurry especially the text. This is on a 4k monitor too.
I’m not sure if this is something that GNOME has control over, but yeah.
I dont know what cosmic desktop is doing but all apps are fine there, including electron, on 4k monitors with fractional scaling.
I was very annoyed at gnome over this, but I used plasma for a while and thats also good. But cosmic is the best right now I think.
I am waiting for cosmic believe me, but it is still not on NixOS Stable. I will test it come June when the new kernel comes out :) believe I’m excited.
Yeah its actually very good. My daily driver for months now. :)
Good changes but I’m mostly interested only in the low latency cursor.
