La tasa de refresco variable de #GNOME 50 funciona de cine en #Firefox, pero rompe el desplazamiento suave en #Chromium. En fin, #Google siempre por detrás en el escritorio #Linux, aunque Firefox no va por delante gracias a #Mozilla, sino a #RedHat.

Me acaba de llegar #GNOME 50 a #openSUSE #Tumbleweed. Ahora tengo tasa de refresco variable. A ver qué tal va cuando hay abarcado todos los contextos que hago.

Episode 25 of our technology podcast @RuntimeArguments (http://RuntimeArguments.fm) and yes, I’m insanely late with this post, though the episode was on time. This episode is called "The X Window System and Wayland".

Jim @jammcq digs into the connection between Linux programs and windows showing up on the screen in front of you. Wolf @YesJustWolf asks all the dumb questions you wouldn’t have uttered even if you were in the room (mostly because Wolf doesn’t care about looking dumb).

As always, we want to know what you think:

I have a #linuxdesktop question: my wife has bought a new laptop and has agreed to give #Linux a go, but with the condition that "I don't want to have to keep typing things in like you do", referring to me using i3wm and extensively using the command line.

I don't think she's particularly bothered about having a UI which is similar to Windows, MacOS, etc., so I'd like to set it up with something clean and minimalist, but it needs a graphical launcher and point-and-click file management etc. - basically the ability to do standard things without opening a terminal.

Any recommendations? I feel like I'm out of touch with what the modern options are.

Been using my Steam Deck as a regular computer for a bit and every time I do it makes me seriously consider moving to KDE Plasma as my desktop environment. I just need to find out how to mod it to be a bit more like my usual GNOME 49 DE?
