Hey all :) In the screenshot you can see that I haven installed BattleNet via Faugus-launcher and started it. In the top left corner, below the topbar, always appears this white little window - when I try to drag/move it, it will often disappear and the whole battlenet launcher crashes with it. Its pretty annoying, sometimes I need to restart battlenet multiple times because it often just crashes instantly... I was always wondering what this issue is and how I could get rid of that. Maybe someone has the same problem and could help me cheers PS: I am on Tumbleweed, AMD GPU and using the newest Proton-GE for that. https://preview.redd.it/loactmvo5hqg1.png?width=986&format=png&auto=webp&s=a7c38bfcd61b6a1a852a5eee5deda66b700c0dbb submitted by /u/This_Tailor_4025 [link] [comments]
As the title suggests, I'm looking for a distribution/live CD that already includes Gnome 50. I just want to see and try out Gnome 50. I tried Fedora 44 beta and Gnome OS but both won't boot for me from USB. Is there anything I can try out already ? Thank you. submitted by /u/JeffBeckwasthebest [link] [comments]
I've been using XFCE for years and never experienced any problem like this. I installed Gnome a few months ago. Or tried it with Fedora a few months ago, came to love it but had a ton of problems, switched back to Debian 13 but erased XFCE and installed Gnome a couple months ago and didn't have any of the Fedora problems. But recently like in the last couple weeks I notice things lag some times. Kinda like in old Windows when u'd need to reboot to get it back to normal. Tho rebooting doesn't fix anything here. Just saying for lack of a better vocab, that that's the best way I can describe the slow downs. Like clicking something and nothing happens, then 3 seconds later it responds. Or sometimes it freezes up for many seconds so I'm thinking I need to shut down, then finally works. Or when typing sometimes, the letters don't show up immediately, they're a few seconds behind. Am I doing something wrong or is this intrinsic to Gnome? I've been using the same two laptops all this time, a Thinkpad T470 then T480. And I didn't have the problem at first with Gnome so it's not processing power. I have 32G of ram, it's nowhere close to ever being used up. Most the time I experience it in Firefox because that's what I'm using most of the time, but it happens elsewhere too. Not when using the terminal. I haven't really analyzed what's happening to spot patterns better than that tho so yeah this is vague and I doubt anyone can glean anything constructive out of it, but I work more than 40hrs a week so I've lost all my ability to enjoy solving my Linux problems. So thanks for whatever insight may be out there. submitted by /u/Naivemun [link] [comments]
Just in case anyone wasn't aware there is a Dropbox client based on the Dropbox Public API that integrates very nicely into Files and the top bar. I've always preferred Dropbox over Google Drive anyway, and so here's something that just works. https://github.com/samschott/maestral submitted by /u/tornado99_ [link] [comments]
Hey everyone, I’ve always wanted to have live wallpapers on GNOME like I used to on other systems, but most existing solutions felt either too bloated or didn't work well with Wayland. So, I decided to build my own: gnome-wallpaper-engine. Disclaimer: I know using an external mpv process to "layer" a video behind the desktop icons might not be the "cleanest" or most sophisticated architectural solution, but honestly? It works, and it's better than having nothing at all. What it does: Uses mpv as a backend (high performance, GPU acceleration). Has a built-in gallery in the settings to manage your clips. Ghost-Mode: Clicks pass through the video to your desktop icons. Works on both Wayland and X11. Supports MP4, WebM, MKV, MOV, AVI, and GIFs. Prerequisites: You just need mpv installed on your system. Check it out here:https://github.com/achu94/gnome-wallpaper-engine I'm currently waiting for the official GNOME Shell Extensions review, but you can already install it manually from the repo. I'd love to hear your feedback—even if you want to tell me how "hacky" my approach is. If it helps someone else enjoy a live background, I'm happy! submitted by /u/OkBed2367 [link] [comments]
I'm using opensuse tumblweed, when I install the system packages(such as yaru-icon-theme, gnome-shell-theme-yaru), and apply them using gnome-tweaks there's a ton of visual glitches. For example buttons on the top right panel are overlapping, gtk4 themed apps not working properly, and such submitted by /u/Both_Confidence_4147 [link] [comments]
Hey everyone, I've been dealing with this annoying bug for about a month now and can't find a fix. Setup: Fedora 43 Workstation Gnome 49.4 Wayland Dash to Dock extension Intellihide enabled, mode set to ALL_WINDOWS The bug: Whenever I close my laptop lid with an app open on screen and then reopen it, the dock stops hiding and starts displaying over whatever app is open. It basically ignores the intellihide setting completely. Interesting detail: If I close the lid while on the desktop (no app open), everything resumes normally with no issue. The bug only triggers when an app is open at the time of suspend. Current workaround: I have to manually go into the dock settings, toggle the intelligent autohide off and back on — but this only works if I first minimize all windows and do it from the desktop. Toggling while an app is open does nothing. What I've tried (using claude): Creating a systemd user service to toggle intellihide on resume (service runs but gsettings doesn't seem to apply correctly on Wayland) System-level sleep hook via /usr/lib/systemd/system-sleep/ (fires but can't reach the session bus) Has anyone else run into this? Is there a known fix or workaround that actually works ? Thanks submitted by /u/pppkkkkk [link] [comments]

google drive feature is permanently removed in gnome 50. https://discourse.gnome.org/t/google-drive-in-gnome-50/34417 submitted by /u/DayInfinite8322 [link] [comments]
I don't know why this is so hard but default will not remember the backlight it always boots at 50% After doing hours of digging I was able to basically write directly to the hardware to set the backlight wherever I wanted it but even then it's disconnected from the window manager the window manager still thinks it's out whatever brightness it started at when it turned on cuz if you push brightness up or brightness down it resets to the next level over from 50% not the level you're at. Not only that but when you use the get command for brightness it will return whatever it has in the UI not in the hardware. I don't understand why such a massive thing would be overlooked having the ability to set your brightness programmatically or more importantly have it remember the brightness on reboot or logout it's crazy this is not a feature and that there's no solution..... submitted by /u/185EDRIVER [link] [comments]

SOLVED. Hello. I am completely blind, and have been using Gnome for quite a while and love it. How ever, because I am blind, I am a keyboard user, no mouse. I want to introduce one of my friends to Gnome, but we can't seem to figure out how to open the apps menu (super plus a), with just a mouse. How do you all do this? submitted by /u/Grace_Tech_Nerd [link] [comments]
I’ll be honest. I spent years as a dedicated KDE Plasma power-user who loved its "endless" customization. Recently, I installed GNOME on a secondary laptop that runs openSUSE Leap 16.0. I decided to give it a fair shot, and that’s when it clicked! Thanks to the touchpad gestures and the keyboard centric workflow (still learning new shortcuts everyday), I realized I was flowing through my computer. At the beginning I was trying to "rice" it with lots of extensions, but shortly after I realized I was making the very similar mistakes as with Plasma. Since then, I keep my Leap + Gnome almost "vanilla". The plot twist, I ended finding myself running GNOME on my main openSUSE Tumbleweed machine as well, and I couldn't be happier because I spend less time "ricing" and more time actually getting things done. I’m embracing the "less is more" approach, though I'm using four extensions yet that are making the transition easier for me (alphabetical app grid, appIndicator, caffeine and GSConnect). So, a big "thank you" to the GNOME devs, designers and maintainers. You’ve built something that feels modern, cohesive, and joyful to use. submitted by /u/vgnxaa [link] [comments]
Just a quick thank you. My family uses apple "shared" calendars and we share them as sort of a dashboard. For instance, I can see my wife's schedule or hide it, same with my kids. I have tried to add the calendars in Gnome 49.4 (fedora 44) and it couldn't be done. I could add the first calendar just fine, but then for the second one it says " A Webdav account already exists for <email address>@icloud.com Now, Running Fedora 45 beta with Gnome 50, when I add my icloud calendar it discovers all my icloud shared calendars and I can check or uncheck any of them. It's a small thing but it's quite helpful. submitted by /u/CorsairVelo [link] [comments]

Hi, I have been using gnome since i first installed a linux distro (ubuntu to start) and have a few bits of feedback I would quite like to give. Folders on the dock - I would quite like to fit more apps onto my dock, without having to scroll, So i believe folders (that could maybe expand out when hovered on) would be a great idea to achieve this Folders in a 3x3 grid preview - My monitor is a 4k TV. So i can see all the apps icons just fine, but its a pain finding apps when the folder has 5 icons, but only 4 show in the preview. I usually forget where i put stuff, so having an option for 3x3 or 2x2 grid on the folder preview would help me a lot. https://preview.redd.it/qf40pebvn5qg1.png?width=718&format=png&auto=webp&s=562f3b89d014c69afaa19243dc99e12a76575894 https://preview.redd.it/13j7ujern5qg1.png?width=187&format=png&auto=webp&s=4d235fb6c54999e9d5a58a4cede75252929c27f9 A sort by option in app store for installed apps - I was trying to see what apps were taking up most storage this morning, however I would have had to do it manually my checking them all. I think a sort by option here would be nice, and could filter by date installed, size in mb/gb etc https://preview.redd.it/9bufgrr5o5qg1.png?width=741&format=png&auto=webp&s=d3b9ba837ea21b44e59f06559bfe2b3ea8458788 Custom accent colours - I am always rather disappointed when i try to choose my own colour, but it is slightly off what i intend on. the current selection is ok, but if we could choose custom ones that would be even better https://preview.redd.it/gjw2c1d9o5qg1.png?width=575&format=png&auto=webp&s=8435c477c33f71baff9f04c5b54bf11e43c6899f Those are all my ideas currently, but please give feedback on anything you think would be better or should too be added. thankyou gnome devs!

Here’s my current GNOME setup—trying to keep things minimal, clean, and actually functional for daily use. I’ve been experimenting with a distraction-free workflow, focusing more on simplicity rather than heavy customization. For me, GNOME feels best when it stays close to its original philosophy, but with a few personal touches to make it more comfortable. The goal wasn’t just aesthetics, but also how it feels to use every day—smooth transitions, organized workspace, and a setup that doesn’t get in the way of getting things done. I’m curious what you all think: Do you prefer keeping GNOME minimal like this, or do you go all-in with extensions and heavy tweaks? What would you change or improve in this setup? submitted by /u/Oliveaniss_ [link] [comments]
That is a word that I see a lot in forums and Reddit posts and comments which is that a lot of desktop environments are not made or developed by UI graphic designers but rather only the developers and other programming projects like Apache or projects that are of GNU have their logos made by only the programmers and no graphic designers. But for example XFCE looks like it was designed by a programmer with knowledge of graphic design and it looks good but some things look weird and things have to be objective and with rules to help people use the software well. But when I use GNOME I feel different because everything has a UI universe that is connected and icons do not feel weird or that they are different and I like the modernity and minimalism. I have a lot of respect and I like other desktop environments but GNOME is the easiest one for people to use because of the UI connected graphical universe submitted by /u/PublicDom41nRat [link] [comments]
