Linux
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.

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.
It would be nice to see web filtering as part of it. A DNS like 1.1.1.3 can easily be bypassed.
I think that this should be done on the network level by providing a DNS Server via DHCP or include filtering in your router if you are afraid of users changing the DNS Server (but maybe it's better to lock the network settings in this case).
But I see that not every User has the possibility or ability to do it this way. therefor having the option to do it in the OS is feasible for these users.
That becomes useless as soon as the child discovers the hotspot feature on their phone.
As soon as the kids get smart enough to circumvent such measures, they hopefully know their way arround the Internet
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.
unfortunately flameshot uses some wlroots extensions that no DEs seem to use , I have a ton of window rules attempting to work around it on plasma
The KDE screenshot application is super nice though, what does flameshot have that it doesn't?
I really liked the built in light editing tools, they were a bit more advanced than the ones KDE provides. But I seem to be fine with KDE spectacle at the moment.
just personal preference, I like imgur upload because I use a social site or two that do not host any content in a cdn of their own. I've scripted my own upload in the past but it was unsatisfying
Yeah, going around with that hackaton to make it work is a real PITA. Unfortunately, that's the most enticing screen shot app in existence, in my opinion. I ended up just using the Gnome SC app and making it open satty to edit and then decide to copy or save. It does the job, requires very little tweaking, but it's certainly not flameshot.
Isn’t flameshot deprecated?
In any case it is not surprising since GNOME is moving towards full Wayland on this update too, the project expects all devs to focus exclusively on Wayland now.
I’ve been very happy with Gradia for screenshots.
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.
Do you use any extensions? I hated Gnome when I first started using Linux but now I prefer it over alternatives.
My extensions
The reason why Gnome doesn't feel at home with a mouse is because it's keyboard-centric which also works for touch gestures as a result of their convergence efforts.
Headless remote desktop is nice as well
Oh no.
Love to see some accessibility improvements and the nautilus update is going to make handling my large folders a lot easier
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.
And the padding. Legit when the corner of a terminal makes the bottom line of text difficult to read, they have gone too far
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
