I fucking love Gnome over any other DE. I do hate how they try to fucking block using flameshot, otherwise, best distro in the linux world.

Love to see some accessibility improvements and the nautilus update is going to make handling my large folders a lot easier

Honestly, not much changed since GNOME 40. Is it a bad thing? No Do I want more changes? Also no The only thing missing from GNOME for me is proper dynamic tiling. I'm trying Forge extension, but it feels clunky

I can't for the life of me get used to Gnome on my desktop. I tried so many times, but I always get the feeling of using a tablet. I like the concept, but it's simply a laptop or tablet centered DE, at best.

I especially waited for the Parental control features to land in GNOME 50. Great to see they made it into the release. Now I don't need aditional tools to enforce bedtime for my son. Document annotations in the Document viewer is also a nice thing. But I would rather have proper Signing support via certificates for professional use cases.

Are windows full circles now? /s It's funny to me how enormous the radius is on window corners. It's kind of hard for me to take it seriously.

Headless remote desktop is nice as well

The Kerberos Auth for RDP sounds really nice. I cant wait to try that out

Is it any good now? I stopped using or thinking much about gnome and gtk after trying 3.0 even windows was better than that trash

Yes, that 40% comes from the removal of X11 support. I don't know if any of that code even ran in a Wayland session, and makes a difference. But what it does is take 40% load of the maintainers who can invest their time elsewhere now.

I remember reading it's 40% in an article, but now I can't find it anymore, so take it with a grain of salt.

 Oh my God, thank you so much. That looks awesome. I'll certainly take it for a spin. As for flameshot, I'm not sure, but last I heard it was still being developed and maintained.
