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

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.
