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.

While thats true, feature suport is still nice to get. Like last I heard there isnt HDR, though maybe I missed that being added.
And we still need the ability to change trackpad scroll speed, which has been in limbo for forever
HDR is in, has been in KDE and Gnome for a while now.
Fair enough on TrackPad scroll speed.
Other than that though, what other features do you believe Gnome is missing?
Less of a feature but a major fix in my eyes is the software store not refreshing the view constantly while you're trying to do stuff. From what I understand its not an easy fix though, and is a product of how something is built on the backend or something 🤷🏻♂️
they are building bazaar to replace/fix it. at least that's what it looks like from previous instances.
you can install it now through flatpak and it's coming together really nice actually. fixes all of the MANY issues with gnome software and it's quite a breeze to use.
Oh neat! I didnt know that, thanks! ☺️
I like the password autofill in android, I would like something like that on gnome.
A password manager?
Does password managers on linux desktop support autofill?
Depends on what your using/how its set up.
GNOMEs native password manager "Passwords and Keys" has the opportunity to store the Browsers Keyring. So if you store passwords in Firefox/Chrome they get stored in Passwords and Keys (and then auto gilled in the browser).
KeePassXC has a Browser plugin, as long a your password databases is unlocked it will autofill inside the Browser.
Its Linux, so there is not one solution and it won't simply work across all apps.
