We are proud of the stable reputation that Fedora Workstation has built over the years. We hope to add to that with Fedora Workstation 40!

Workstation brings @gnome 46 to users with tweaks to the Settings and Files apps. You can now use Remote Login to connect to a computer even if it doesn't have an active session.

What's new in Fedora Workstation 40 - Fedora Magazine

Summary description of improvements and new features in Fedora 40 Workstation.

^{Roseline Bassey (Fedora Project)}

Is this a regression on Fedora 40 that anyone else is seeing? Apps that launch full-screen are launching at @1x resolution even though my screen is set @2x. Un-maximizing the app fixes it.

#fedora40 #gnome #regression #resolution #maximizedApps #linux

There’s a long-standing bug in Fedora (also in Fedora 40), where the sign-in screen is displayed at the wrong resolution (it doesn’t use the settings you have set in the Settings app).

So, for example, if you have 4K@2x set in your settings for your monitor, the sign-in screen will still display at a tiny 4K@1x.

To fix, download an app called GDM Settings from the Software app and press Display → Apply current display settings → Apply.

OMG, is this what I think it is? Is it a universal search trough the menu items in applications, like that old Ubuntu HUD thing!?

I've been wanting that ever since Ubuntu introduced it, and then unfortunately got rid of it for for me unknown reasons. It's so extremely useful and a huge time saver! "Where was that thing again?" "Does this app have…?" No more questions like that, no more hunting, just search!

I really hope this is coming to #Gnome soon! Where can I read more? @tbernard

Manuel is working hard on a new version of Apostrophe! It's the long-awaited port to GTK4, Libadwaita, and the other awesome new stuff ✨

The new version is a significant overhaul, so testing and filing bugs is appreciated!

Install the beta by adding the Flathub Beta repo:

flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub-beta https://flathub.org/beta-repo/flathub-beta.flatpakrepo

And then install the app:

flatpak install flathub-beta org.gnome.gitlab.somas.Apostrophe

Alright people, time to seize the opportunity in #GNOMEPapers to fix one of my long-time performance annoyances with Evince: a potential 2x speedup by… avoiding rendering everything twice (due to the sidebar's thumbnails).

Barring #Poppler backend renderer performance issues, this should help #GNOME have a noticeably faster and power-efficient #PDF reader app 🤞 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/Incubator/papers/-/issues/119

Miniature thumbnails in the sidebar render before the page contents canvas, and do not reuse the page's render, doubling render times (#119) · Issues · GNOME / Incubator / Papers · GitLab

@chernosktrainstation This is great but can we also talk about how Fedora ships with a broken screen reader by default?

Here's a neat exploration of the curb cut effect for accessibility in @gnome - using accessibility tools to aid in testing automation! Has pros and cons identified in the article, but interesting nonetheless.

I also highly recommend Linux (as several others do). I'm always shocked how unprofessional it looks when colleagues open the default browser on Microsoft full with advertisements and irrelevant news. That looks so unprofessional and is so distracting.
And it makes so clear that you are the product they are mining.

I personally use #Fedora Linux (with the #GNOME desktop), extremely easy to use and very clean.

Thanks to all you developers out there adding brand colors to your apps over the past months we're almost ready to launch featured banners ✨

If you're an app maintainer and haven't done this yet for your app, here are the docs: https://docs.flathub.org/docs/for-app-authors/appdata-guidelines/quality-guidelines

To make it more interesting we're setting a deadline! We will be launching the new banners on April 20th, so for the possibility to be featured during the first week, update your apps today :)

If I was a #GNOME developer I’d be there!

Thanks for this great release! And enjoy the party!

Sometimes your desktop just gets a little boring and when that happens, let Damask refresh it. The app can automatically cycle through your wallpapers and can even find you some new ones. It give you the option to pull from various sources, like Bing and Wallhaven's collection of backgrounds. With Damask, you can always have a new backdrop to your digital life!

You can follow the app's creator here: @subpop

You can get the app on Flathub here: https://flathub.org/apps/app.drey.Damask

Junction 1.8 is out ✨

Junction pops up automatically when you open a file or link to let you choose which app to open with.

https://flathub.org/apps/re.sonny.Junction

The highlight of this version is better mobile and touch support 📱

Plus, the app is now verified on Flathub and has a "High quality app data" rating.

What I really like about #GNOME46 is that it turned out to be a great release for old and low-end devices. One of my test devices is Thinkpad T400. That hardware is over 15 years old and actually got faster over the last few years - especially this release.

One of my favorite improvements here, headed by Christian Hergert, was the boost to VTE. Terminals using #gtk4 are now much faster and responsive. I mean, damn, even switching tabs doesn't trigger a full redraw!
