I want to point out that the changes you are talking about, minimize/maximize buttons and docks, are actually big changes to the workflow of a desktop environment. How hard would it be to remove those buttons and the standard dock on windows? Harder than it is with gnome I think. Gnome isn't windows and it's used differently from windows. It shouldn't be expected to accommodate windows's workflow.

I actually got them from my windows partition. It was very easy. I copied them from C:\Windows\Fonts to the .fonts folder in my home directory.

with microsoft fonts installed I actually found that libreoffice displayed the docx file I wanted to edit better than onlyoffice.

 

I think I remember seeing it on this community. It was a darkly colored video. It was mostly focused on UX design, and the guy was talking about pretty innovative features with auto completion suggestions and undoing and things like that. Does anyone remember it or have a link? My search was fruitless.

When I first wanted to try Linux out I made a small 50gb partition for it. the logic was that this was the size of just one game and it was an entire operating system, so I wasn't losing much. As I continued to use Linux I kept expanding that partition to correspond with the priority I gave the OS.

Snapdragon is a type of flower. It's a lovely name in my opinion.

How was the patent approved if it already existed tf.

Instead of actually talking about it you're lazily using it to deflect criticism of unsustainable cryptocurrencies. Your input was worthless.

For me this is Gnome with the pop shell extension. It's so much better than plain i3 in usability and just as good with tiling. Using i3 for years made me appreciate the value of a proper modern desktop environment.

You get to complain to Nvidia, not Linux developers and maintainers.

 

Anyone here struggle with trying to adjust brightness on Gnome in low light? At the low end, the steps are way too far apart, and at high brightness they're almost imperceptible. Every other operating system uses a brightness curve that better matches human perception.

I've improved the brightness control of the Gnome settings daemon, using a bezier curve based brightness curve. I've also written all the appropriate tests which it passes. With this implementation, the change in brightness between each step should be perceptually identical, providing more nuance at low brightness and faster control at high brightness.

Would you all like to see this become a part of Gnome? The MR is about 4 weeks old now and the maintainers haven't looked at it yet so I'm looking to gauge public interest and see if users want to see it merged.
