Is that % real? That’s impressive. Was it the removal of X11? That should make the DE feel lighter, hopefully.
GNOME has a bunch of legacy code… it’s only of the things that has me interested in Cosmic OS. That and Rust, lol.

Isn’t flameshot deprecated?
In any case it is not surprising since GNOME is moving towards full Wayland on this update too, the project expects all devs to focus exclusively on Wayland now.
I’ve been very happy with Gradia for screenshots.


Well, we need to remember that Linux without the enterprise support wouldn’t be what it is today, and enterprise Linux thrives in the US, as much as we would like to deny it it is a fact.
They kinda need to complain or be fined to oblivion/forced to shut down operations. Multi-billion € enterprises don’t shut down operations for ideological reasons, sadly.
It is a change in workflow for sure (mouse-centric > keyboard-centric), but once understood it is, I’m, much faster than the alternative.


This “shit” is being pushed by the US, and we Europeans are the ones pushing back on it. Just sayin.
Audio is so bad it’s unbelievable. I don’t know if it’s because laptops are built with shitty hardware and then compensated for with proprietary drivers (which Linux doesn’t ship with) but my God are they bad.
Nothing that can’t be fixed by wearing earbuds or plugging in some good speakers, of course.


No offense but it sounds like you’re from the US, where banking is 20 years behind in comparison to Europe.
The other commenter is right, some banks are mandating 2FA using your phone even to log into web banking, so phone authentication is still required.
Also some EU countries have pretty much become cashless although it’s obviously still legal tender. Even some tiny village in the middle of Denmark has card readers.
Are their phones even any good? Serious question, I haven’t heard of Motorola in the last 10 or so years, I didn’t even know they still existed.
It would be deliciously ironic if they launched GrapheneOS on their Thinkphone models though. They would totally match my thinkpad laptop which I already use.


Is your hardware always the exact same? Because if it isn’t, then I’m sure you have to do modifications to your config file. And at that point you night as well just use a regular distro instead.
Fair, I just find that number super high, 40%. Is that official, or an estimate from you?
I think they just disabled the session since the last version of GNOME and now they removing the code completely, but you’re absolutely right, it is good that the devs can now move on from maintaining that old code to focusing exclusively on Wayland. I’m more excited about this update now, thank you!
