The GNOME Desktop is Disabling X11.. and adding NEW Features.

GNOME 47 is the latest dev in the popular Linux desktop segment. It's bringing big NEW features and changes including being able to disable the X11 windowing system all together. Let's explore the latest in Linux.

That's exciting eventhough you read it like a press release by the local sheriff's office.

Bout time they started making popular extensions stock. I know they'll never do it but they need to make User Themes, Dash to Dock and App Menu stock as well.

We don't have even ability to turn on tray icons and dock without installing extensions, but now we can actually modify accent colors. Jesus Christ.

The most necessary feature in Gnome is fractional scaling. I love how it looks; it’s beautiful, but by 2024 it should already be resolved. Best regards

Will that include the hybdrid nvidia laptops that are currently blacklisted for wayland use in gnome?

[Matt]

Sure Great!! However many of us are still way used to X11, in fact, it's my favorite. I can't as of yet until I get newer hardware, am still using a older nvidia that can't use the new drivers. Hope the Devs keep that in mind too. And cuda versions as well. Latest I can use is 11.4. And 4.70 for nvidia graphic drivers.

Funny to watch gnome trying to catch up with macos. Thank goodness for KDE

But will the accent color affect the folders

[prezlamen]

I can`t see your content, if you can increase font size I would appreciate

Productivity is not something I would associate with GNOME, but WTF is this useful feature missing once again in GNOME.

[chomskysfavefive]

Can't wait for a hopefully leaner Fedora Linux.

I hope Arch will have Wayland-only package in the official repos.

All I want is HDR support, sRGB to HDR tone-mapping.

[PixelOutlaw]

How was breaking compatibility with a ton of applications getting better? Also hopefully they're still going to get over this mobile UI crap they're so fixated on.

Anyone got suggestions on how to get Wayland remembering where all my app windows were last time I was on the computer. That is one thing I 100% miss.
Suggestions will need to keep my Nvidia cards

Have a look at cinnamon desktop with cinnamenu extension. Hard to beat....

[rursus]

Why? X11 or X11 emulation is necessary for running program remotely. I'm curious why Gnome is so intent on technical deterioration. And what the heck is the buzz about an increase of responsiveness from 200 ms to 10 ms?

[CuvelierPhilippe]

I move from gnome 46 to kde 5.2 (ubu don't have 6 yet) because it was hard for me to do an easy thing. 2 monitor+1 graphical screen tablet which have to clone monitor 1 to be useful for me. I mean with Wayland if it's goodly Nvidia supported, it can be great...

[Jacob]

Kind of worried. Clipboard and Citrix wokspace on Wayland is not functional or barely functional. Need to copy several times in Citrix VDI for clipboard on Wayland host system to take. Also have similar issues on VM's. I feel there a LOT of bugs still to hammer out though app developers like Citrix need to get with it too.. Might force me back to windows for work after over a decade on Linux if they don't fix Wayland and remove X11. Not light words since I hate MS with a passion.

[MinuteManGameReviews]

I need x11 it runs ue5 better then wayland. Wayland crashs way to much running that program.
