X11 in Gnome ist Geschichte - Backend entfernt
Angedeutet hatte es sich schon, nun haben die Entwickler durchgezogen: Sie haben den X11-Backend-Code aus Gnome entfernt.

Mitte Oktober endet der Support für Windows 10. Dass Microsoft seine Kundschaft dazu auffordert, Millionen von funktionierenden Computern wegzuwerfen, ist ein gigantisches Umweltverbrechen.
Wenn Microsoft kein Windows 11 auf deinem Windows-10-Laptop laufen lassen will, dann nutze die Gelegenheit doch, mal Linux auszuprobieren!

I'm using #Debian13 with #GNOME 48 since August (coming from #xfce).

Ok, Gnome removed the X11 backend and only supports Wayland. I'd be fine with that when they finally had separated the window manager from the full session. It's just annoying¹ to get logged out because the window manager crashes again – and that happens way to often!

AerynOS is running very well, landed on the Gnome session. CDN is fast. You can easily take out the basic applications and replace them with flatpaks (if at all). Snappy, clocking in at a little over 1 gb for a Gnome session. Noice.

In my search for the perfect Linux desktop distribution, I came across Zorin OS 18 about three weeks ago, after the entire Linux YouTube community responded with rave reviews to the latest release.
And while I was only moderately enthusiastic about earlier versions, if not at all, in the case of version 18, I have to join the applauding crowd!
Firstly, everything works out of the box, and secondly, the graphical implementation of the GNOME desktop is a perfect blend of the old Wi…

Installed a Linux Workstation with default Gnome - it is so bad. How has anyone thought this is shippable?

As much as I like Plasma, Dash to Panel on Gnome kinda clears it (at least for me)

What exactly were the symptoms, following the write to the stick?

🎉 Resources 1.9 has just been released, here are the highlights:
• Thanks to the volunteers of GNOME Damned Lies, Resources is now available in many more languages
• Support for the new “xe” driver for Intel GPUs
• Link information is now also shown for Wi-Fi interfaces
• Resources can now halt graphical updates when its window is not in view to save on power
• Update to the GNOME 49 runtime
• Internal changes for less code complexity and clearer architecture…

The system update screen of #Debian 13 Trixie GNOME is really ugly. 🫩

If you can't see what Canonical are doing with their snap obsession, or IBM-RedHat with Wayland and GNOME, then let me spell it out: they're trying to remake Linux in their own proprietary image to steer the ship away from common standards and kill the competition, or at least force it to be downstream of their control. We've been here before:

Search for thermodynamically stable ambient-pressure superconducting hydrides in GNoME database
Hydrides are considered to be one of the most promising families of compounds for achieving high temperature superconductivity. However, there are very few experimental reports of ambient-pressure hydride superconductivity, and the superconducting critical temperatures ($T_{\rm c}$) are typically less than 10 K. At the same time several hydrides have been predicted to exhibit superconductivity around 100 K at ambient pressure but in thermodynamically unfavorable phases. In this work we aim at a…

Hoping some gnome-based #Emacs folks may have guesses: when it launches, I see the usual Emacs text menu at the top of each frame, but /somewhere/ in a long (and messy .emacs) something is 'different' from KDE and I get useless Win/Mac menu-ish things instead. Any guesses where this feature gets turned off?

And <sigh/> no, the #debian13trixie upgrade saga isn't (yet) complete. The Gnome file manager -- still known to #debian as 'nautillus', for historical reasons -- was missing on my laptop.

That beta? I'll rejoin after the bugfixing release of stable release number one.
On a different note: a quick switch of package set inside AerynOS (cool feature) showed me Gnome has all required functionality ootb. So on we go, I'll put that on the nuc today.

Managed to finish a Debian preseed file, some things will be prompted but the system you'll get:

- barest gnome
- git/distrobox/ptyxis/flatpak/flathub/gnome software plugins
- the good ext manager

Are diffusion models ready for materials discovery in unexplored chemical space?
While diffusion models are attracting increasing attention for the design of novel materials, their ability to generate low-energy structures in unexplored chemical spaces has not been systematically assessed. Here, we evaluate the performance of two diffusion models, MatterGen and DiffCSP, against three databases: a ternary oxide set (constructed by a genetic algorithm), a ternary nitride set (constructed by template informatics), and the GNoME database (constructed by a combination of both). …

They say a change is as good as being arrested, or something like that, and being reckless (and retired) I upgraded my vintage laptop to #Ubuntu 25.10 because why not, it was already broken from a few upgrades ago, and it was already clear #plasma on #x11 with my Radeon 570 was, well, not fun.
So down the list I go. Those of you on Mac or that other O/S ("little&soft"?) won't understand, but I went through each of the various desktops, just to see, not expecting a lot given my hardware.
Well, Ubuntu on Wayland works now, but, egad, it is ugly. Gnome and its Classic look, well, almost the same. One of the others is just a blank screen, but remember, my machine was already broken.
