With this and the GPU reset handling, it looks like it's not just ReactOS that's starting to catch up with Vista

you gotta admit the phoronix comment section can do ok sometimes.

but blur does look pretty good on gnome with blur-my-shell, a good official implementation would make it look finished and refined ootb, imo.

Lately I mostly see only minor improvements when I hear about Gnome updates.

I mean, I like quality of life improvements, but is it me or the project is becoming stagnant over time?

I’d call it „mature“. It has its design language and it works. I don’t think GNOME users want some revolution. If we would, we could just move to another environment like Plasma.

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 🤷🏻‍♂️

I like the password autofill in android, I would like something like that on gnome.

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.
