GTK development would not be possible without the help of the @gnome project. Donations—especially recurring ones—to GNOME are necessary to ensure the continued existence of the infrastructure GTK relies on for building and testing.

Also, Drag n Drop and event controllers in general in GTK4 are so good. Really fantastic work. The toolkit just keeps getting better at making it easy to do hard things

I didn’t plan to write about Wayland yet. But Xorg is dying — not eventually, but now. GNOME’s dropping X11 support. RHEL already removed it. Ubuntu and Fedora are next. And if you rely on accessibility, you don’t get to wait this one out.
So here’s Post 4 of I Want to Love Linux. It Doesn’t Love Me Back.
I’m using Wayland now. Primarily. Not because I love it. Because the fallback is disappearing, and I want to be there helping fix what comes next. GNOME with Orca actually works. KDE and COSMIC are making progress. I’ve talked to the people involved. They care.
But a lot is broken.
MATE — the desktop most blind users preferred — isn’t on Wayland.
ocrdesktop doesn’t work. xdotool is gone.
wlroots compositors still don’t reliably support Orca’s keybindings, especially on laptops.
This isn’t GNOME’s fault. They’re the only reason accessibility on Wayland works at all.
But the old excuses are gone. “Just use Xorg” isn’t going to be an option much longer.
So yeah. I’m a Wayland shill now. Because I’m using it. Because I have to.
And I want to make sure we’re not excluded from what comes next.

Calling all analog film photographers! 🎞️ I've been working on Filmbook, an open-source app to help you keep track of your film usage. It's built with Rust & GTK4/libadwaita for a smooth & modern experience – and it even runs on Linux phones like the Librem 5 and Pinephone Pro! 📱

The first version is ready for testing, and I'd love your input on what features would make it even better! Join the community & help shape Filmbook: https://codeberg.org/bjawebos/filmbook ✨ #filmphotography #analogphotography #rustlang #gtk #opensource #community #testing #featureideas #librem5 #pinephone #linuxphone
