  • Can I theme the top bar? If so, how? (2025/04/03 17:16)
    I want to theme my top bar but I couldn't find any resources for it. I guess you use the user themes extension to load it into gnome but is there any guide or something like that? submitted by /u/mel4tonin_ [link] [comments]

  • After updating (to Gnome 48), resizing is terribly slow on some apps (2025/04/03 12:02)
    Today, I updated my system to Gnome 48. Now, resizing is terribly slow in some applications. I've noticed that the apps that have this problem aren't gtk apps (I think), here are some apps that have this issue: - Freetube - Ryujinx - Dolphin Emulator - Krita - Clementine Do you know if there is something consistent between these apps? I don't think it's a flatpak problem, because Clementine had the issue on both the system install and the flatpak install. Also, the issue is present on both Wayland and X11. Maybe it has something to do with Gnome 48, because on Gnome 47, this issue doesn't exist and when booting into IceWM (openSUSE comes preinstalled with it I think), I also didn't have this issue. My System: OS: openSUSE Tumbleweed x86_64 Host: HP Envy x360 2-in-1 Laptop 14-fa0xxx Kernel: Linux 6.12.20-1-longterm DE: GNOME 48.0 WM: Mutter (Wayland) CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 8640HS (12) @ 4.97 GHz GPU: AMD Phoenix3 [Integrated] Memory: 16GB submitted by /u/JoeneckSpoeneck [link] [comments]
  • "Void" extension update: hide the panel, ultimate distraction-free™ ;-) (2025/04/03 07:02)
    Hi all, I updated Void: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/7571/void/ This extension hides the panel except in overview. Now I included a lock button in panel, to keep this panel shown. Well, all this is very common. Here, I find it's the first of this kind of extension I made (Unpanel, Panel Free, Dock Unroll and I must forget some...) that I feel really polished. Why? Because that's not so easy to hide the panel. The overview animation adjusts to the available space. This available space is the monitor's minus the panel. So if you animate the panel hiding/showing during the overview animation, it will interfere with this animation. You can experience overview's thumbnails reordering using many windows, e.g. So I made the choice to directly show the panel when overview is starting (with an scaling effect to make like panel is appearing from the top) and to hide the panel after the overview is closed (with animation, better now in GS 48 than before). The bottom triggers overview: was originally taken from other extensions (I made Bottom Overview, what a name...), that did themselves copy some code from GNOME's hot corner code. That's a very easy way to make a fake dock, and much simpler (even than Dock from Dash extension). There's still a (desktop) GNOME issue IMO: panel is made for mobile devices. It takes place but does not contain a lot of information (like a taskbar, or even the old app menu) in 1920+ pixels widths. So i know "Just because it's empty doesn't mean it has to be filled"™ but I could say "Just because it's empty doesn't mean it has to be shown". :-) submitted by /u/_fthx_ [link] [comments]
  • Fractional scaling (2025/04/03 06:56)

  • Amberol style like music player but can play the song immediately than put it in a queue? (2025/04/03 01:06)
    I could not find any command line option for Amberol to play the song immediately, it just adds it to the queue. Sometimes when I am in the file manager I just want to play the song immediately, than add it to a queue. submitted by /u/trtryt [link] [comments]
  • Gnome software is the best... And also not (2025/04/02 22:22)
    Let me explain. I like the design of Gnome software center the best among all other GUI software stores available for Linux. I also appreciate the small and little details Gnome adds to its designs. However I think it's not the most performent. To such degree that I often fear to multitask in Gnome software, that is, I let multiple software install in the background while also browsing for other apps. It feels very laggy when I try to do so. So I just stick to installing one app at a time (I don't even browse other apps until that one other app finishes installing) which is kinda slow. I still love to use Gnome software because I feel like it's the only software center in Linux that can compete with Microsoft Store and Apple Store (in terms of design). It'd be really great if Gnome software sees some major performance improvements and more focus. Maybe I'm talking too much but I just love Gnome software among all other software centers. submitted by /u/_sifatullah [link] [comments]

  • How to set date format? (2025/04/02 13:54)
    Hello, I am trying out Gnome for a few weeks now (thinking about switching to Fedora from Mac and getting Framework Laptop). So far so good, except some nVidia stuff.... and format settings. Its driving me crazy. On Mac, I can set Region, Calendar, temperature, measurement system, first day of the week, date format, number format... all independent of format. Gnome GUI settings, I cant. So I tried localectl set-locale LC_TIME=en_IE.UTF-8, that set the date format correctly on login screen, but not my session. Then I tried setting ~/.config/environment.d/90-myenvvars.conf with 1:1 same locale... now my terminal shows en_IE format (fastfetch), the top bar date is still in czech. Flatpak config showing languages: *unset* (default: cs;en). Calendar app also using Czech date format. Is there any way to set this in one place? I am pretty sure I was able to do this in KDE, but cant figure this out in gnome. submitted by /u/InvestigatorIcy424 [link] [comments]
  • GNOME 48 broke workspace switching keybindings (2025/04/02 09:13)
    I updated to GNOME 48 and its very smooth, but I noticed that my keybindings for switching workspaces are slighlty broken. I have static workspaces turned on and use Super+<N> to go the worksapce, where <N> is the workspace number. But after updating, I noticed that sometimes Super+3 and Super+8 do not work and sometimes they do. This sometimes changes and sometimes its two or three other switch-to-workspace bindings that dont work. Because of the inconstancy, its difficult to figure out what is causing this. Has anyone else experienced something similar? Here is the section from the dconf dump: [org/gnome/desktop/wm/keybindings] switch-to-workspace-1=['<Super>1'] switch-to-workspace-10=['<Super>0'] switch-to-workspace-2=['<Super>2'] switch-to-workspace-3=['<Super>3'] switch-to-workspace-4=['<Super>4'] switch-to-workspace-5=['<Super>5'] switch-to-workspace-6=['<Super>6'] switch-to-workspace-7=['<Super>7'] switch-to-workspace-8=['<Super>8'] switch-to-workspace-9=['<Super>9'] Its worth noting that I do have Space Bar installed and it has an option to use Super+<N> to switch workspaces. I have tried disabling that is only using keybindings I have set using gsettings as I thought there was some conflict. I've also tried the other way around without any luck. submitted by /u/pipewire [link] [comments]
  • Nautilus not showing modified date when searching? (2025/04/02 08:50)
    When I search for a file in Nautilus, it doesn't display the modified date, only Name/Size/Location. It shows the date normally when I view files, just not when looking for something. Any idea how to change this setting or where the config file for this is? submitted by /u/yodel_anyone [link] [comments]
  • Working on a small extension to clear useless notifications (2025/04/02 07:49)
    I have been working on a small extension on the past few weeks; The idea is that if a window is interacted with (focused or closed) all notifications for that app should be cleared. Not sure if there is already something like that built into Gnome but haven't found it. I would like to gather some feedback from the community if this even makes sense to have and which features you would like to see.

  • Começando novamente no Linux, mas desta vez de forma mais consistênte. (2025/04/02 01:04)
    Começando novamente no Linux, mas desta vez de forma mais consistênte. Anos apenas testando em máquinas virtuais e dual boot,onde o windows suabia no automático eu ficava com preguiça de reiniciar e entrar no Linux. Agora montei um Pc barato para usar como Pc do dia dia. Não sou de jogar muito apesar de gostar. Escolhi o zorin O.S. Jã estou indo para 45 dias e ainda não precisei ligar o outro computador que tem windows😂. Bem estavel, reconheceu todos os drives transquilamente, inclusive a placa Wi-fi/bluetooth.

  • Fix for UI lag in Chromium-based browsers when using VRR on Gnome 47+ (2025/04/01 22:23)
    After enabling VRR via experimental settings using the command gsettings set org.gnome.mutter experimental-features ‘[’variable-refresh-rate']”, there was a noticeable delay in web pages in Chromium and similar browsers. For a long time I couldn't find any “solution” for the problem, but in my case adding such startup arguments is enough: --disable-frame-rate-limit --disable-gpu-vsync For example, for ungoogled-chromium from flatpak: /usr/bin/flatpak run --branch=stable --arch=x86_64 --command=/app/bin/chromium --file-forwarding io.github.ungoogled_software.ungoogled_chromium --disable-frame-rate-limit --disable-gpu-vsync @@u %U @@@ I recommend using the Main Menu application (libre-menu-editor) for changes like this, as it automatically creates a copy of the shortcut and adds it to .local/share/applications, which prevents overwriting changes when the package is updated. But of course you can do it manually. Hope this helps someone :) submitted by /u/hilltty [link] [comments]

  • I hate Nvidia (2025/04/01 18:06)
    I've always used nouveau driver and after upgrading Gnome to version 48 I started to hate Nvidia and myself a lot, because I changed my amd video card to nvidia 2 years ago. I used to use Arch + Gnome, but now I have to go back to Fedora + Gnome 47. 48 version is impossible to use with nouveau driver. All animations are very laggy. I tried kernel 6.14, I thought maybe something would change. but unfortunately nothing did. Nvidia, Fuck You! [link] [comments]

  • HDR in Firefox 138 (2025/04/01 12:54)
    On Arch you can install "firefox-developer-edition" (this is v138) and in "about:config" set both "gfx.wayland.hdr" and "gfx.webrender.compositor.force-enabled" to "true". Of course you also need to enable HDR in Settings/Displays. Some notes: not sure if "gfx.webrender.compositor.force-enabled" is needed. I also tried it in Firefox 137 but couldn't make it work. Enjoy it! submitted by /u/trofosila [link] [comments]
