The Now Before GNOME 45, Calendar offers two views - week and month - as well as a sidebar with a list of ..read more

Over the past few months, the Endless OS Foundation has been putting focus on improving GNOME Software's reliability and performance. Endless OS is an OSTree-based immutable OS, and applications are entirely distributed as Flatpaks. GNOME Software is the frontend to that, and since our target userbase is definitely not going to use a terminal, we ..read more

As I prepare for the 1.0 release, more features and bugfixes get in, and it's getting dangerously close to achieving all features I personally want from it.

After reading "Community Power Part 4: The GNOME Way", unlike the other articles of the series, I was left with a bittersweet taste in my mouth. Strangely, reading it triggered some intense negative feelings on me, even if I fundamentally agree with many of the points raised there. In particular, the "The Hows" and "In ..read more

It took a long time, and massive amounts of energy and sweat and blood, but as of last week, Settings is finally ported to GTK4 and uses libadwaita for platform integration. This was by far the biggest application I've ported to GTK4. In total, around 330 files needed to be either rewritten or at least ..read more

We just started the development cycle of GNOME 41 for GNOME To Do, and the first new feature is a dark & light style variant selector: There's a lot to be done to make To Do actually useful.
