Wow this looks great! Can't wait to try it out.

Do we have an extension apocalipse again, or is it a "bump supported version" type update?

[-] TheGrandNagus@lemmy.world 7 points 5 days ago

The 2nd. And even then, you can just turn off version checking and extensions generally just work.

[-] infeeeee@lemm.ee 5 points 4 days ago

I can confirm. Updated on my laptop and every extension works so far.

[-] 7uWqKj@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

Didn’t know that’s possible. How?

[-] TheGrandNagus@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

I've never actually done it, because the only extension I use is Blur My Shell, and the dev is so quick at updating that extension that even when I immediately update to a beta release it's already marked as compatible, but here it is:

gsettings set org.gnome.shell disable-extension-version-validation true

And if you want to revert back to normal and have extensions be validated again:

gsettings reset org.gnome.shell disable-extension-version-validation

I don't know if there's a GUI way to do it in one of the extension management platforms, I've never really looked

Still just experimental fractional scaling...

I don't think the rounded circles for buttons in the file dialog looks good, but that's hopefully just the default theme.

There is no alternative theme, when it comes to rounding or spacing

[-] 1984@lemmy.today 2 points 5 days ago

That's bad. It really doesn't look good. Oh well.

Well, but XWayland apps should not be blurry now!

Yeah, strange design choice since the other buttons in theUI are not pill shaped.

Aside from that things look very nice.

Yeah I think that round shape looks seriously out of place. You would never see something like that outside of gnome, in any app.

But alright, it is what it is.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
