One week after we kicked off our year-end fundraiser, we’ve reached 800 #FriendsOfGNOME!

Our goal is a bit more ambitious, though: 1,500 by December 31. Help us out by joining today: https://donate.gnome.org

If you’ve already joined or are unable to right now, you can still help by sharing this post with friends and colleagues: https://blogs.gnome.org/foundation/2025/12/01/join-friends-of-gnome/

Let's secure the future of GNOME together and enable us to do even more great work next year.

Today we have the Graphite Editor devs on the show to talk about this amazing project, I think this if it keeps progressing has the potential to be thought of like OBS and Blender. #Linux #OpenSource

This year we delivered new Digital Wellbeing features for GNOME including Screen Time history and limits, break reminders for movement and eye health, and improved parental controls with Screen Time integration.

This work was coordinated by the GNOME Foundation thanks to a grant from Endless, and implemented by valued community developers @pwithnall and @ignapk with support from design team member @snwh.
