I personally would like to see a libadwaita GTK3 and QT theme. Older apps look terrible with the default GTK theme.

This is trippy, being someone in Bengaluru using Gnome

Ooh, that is cool! I like gnome.

The Fedora 42 Beta is looking very tempting right now...

I am really looking forward to the notification grouping feature.

i hop the global hotkeys solution is portable, otherwise wayland will remain fractured.

Some great new features! Looking forward to trying this out

Delicious! See you in Fedora 42 Silverblue, GNOME ❤️‍🔥

Here's one that uses and likes Gnome apps (on Sway, so no automagic adaptation to changes in the framework), and strongly dislikes the major updates that always break at least a handful of things... Oh well, here we go again.

Yes, Gnome extensions shall be impacted once again for sure. But, at least that is not a deal breaker for me.

Gnome 48 arrived on Arch and guess what – absolutely nothing broke! The only change was that fonts on non-Gnome apps got a little bit bigger. Quickly found a new switch in dconf-editor to the effect of 'let the framework decide how to display fonts or respect user's settings' – flicked that from 'Automatic' to 'Manual' and everything was back to how it ought. Best Gnome update ever <3

I look forward to Digital Wellbeing.

Considering Gnome 48 won't hit stable distros any time soon, any recommendations for alternatives?

GNOME’s JavaScript engine, a core part of the desktop, has reduced CPU and memory usage for many common operations.

JavaScript? Oh dear

I moved to Plasma... And I still dont think those rounded buttons looks good in 2025.
