It's pretty cool how useable GNOMEOS is nowadays. Apart from the issue I had earlier when combining multiple NVMe drives, everything's been smooth sailing so far.

Will stick to Fedora at work, but the idea right now is to keep using this on my daily driver on my personal machine. (Last summer I tried it for a month)

#GNOMEOS #GNOME

I just decided to give GNOMEOS another goal as daily driver on my main machine.

So far after a relatively fresh install, `updatectl` seems to be broken. Might be related to the fact that I added a second device to my btrfs lvm? (Not sure why, but that's the only major thing I changed after a fresh install)

Anybody familiar with this issue? Otherwise I'll just file a bug.

#GNOMEOS #GNOME #updatectl

At the recent boiling the ocean I've been bullied into installing #GNOMEOS on my laptop.

Let's see how it goes :)

GNOME 50 looks dope.

Man, something like a GNOME ID for sync stuff like preferences, extensions, installed flatpaks etc. would be so cool.

It's been a lot of fun using Gnome OS as my main and only OS for the last 9 months!

But I'm starting to miss being able to use my dedicated GPU – especially now that I've started working a bit with video. And unfortunately Gnome OS does not support the proprietary driver needed to use my Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050.

So I'm on the lookout for my next OS. Recommendations appreciated, if it runs Gnome and you know for sure it supports the GTX 1050!

Issues I'm having with Gnome 50 that I think should be fixed before the beta is over and stable is released:

- System Monitor crashes a lot: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-build-meta/-/issues/1227
- If I ever suspend the PC all options to log out disappears: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-build-meta/-/issues/1212
- When logging in after booting my laptop, with the lid closed and an external monitor connected, the whole system is unusable and I have to hold the physical power button to restart. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-build-meta/-/issues/1246

Does anyone else have this issue in Gnome where searching for a file in the overview and pressing Enter no longer opens the file but only opens the folder containing the file?

I'm hoping this will be solved before Gnome 50 goes out of beta! But I can't find any bug report about it. So I wonder if it's something I've done wrong or if it's unique to Gnome OS only, or if there's an issue somewhere I just haven't found… or if I should report it?
