As you could see, I can use GIMP on my own. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I have now three different video players. Sometimes something glitches and doesn't play anything - no audio or black screen! Then I try another player, and voilà, it works. Maybe it's my Fedora fault? But I don't think so because every app I use is a Flatpak package. For now, the best of all is VLC; it works 99.9% of the time. Showtime looks very clean, similar to Clapper, but what matters most is whether it actually works or not. I don't need another video player that has problems with playing videos. Ideally, I just want only one player.

loves the adwaita UI

Yeah, it looks nice, but as I supposed it's completely garbage right now. It can't open subtitles correctly and I don't understand English or Japanese vocals ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°). And also, there is some hesitation when jumping from place to place. I'll come back when it exits alpha or even beta.

Cool. I love GNOME. I hope one day it will be stable like Windows, the Software Center will be working, there will be only a Wayland session, better Flatpak integration (theming, etc.), accent colors, smooth animations, better performance.

I feel the oposit. Windows, kde, xfce, everything is going faster. App menu and overview opening animation is constanty droping frames and feels lagy.

I have 3 different laptops. Maybe I have eyes problem. My daily computer is Thinkpad L470, 32 GB of ram.

It is definitely using hardware acceleration. Most of the time it is smoth, but first opening of the app menu after not opening it for a while gives a lag and frame drop. Nonetheless gnome 40 is much faster than 3. But still waiting for more. Everything on the performance settings. If I use power saving it is not smooth at alll.

Indeed, it is working now, at least on fedora (my current distro). But it was broken a few updates ago. It froze when searchinging, when installing and so on. I tried using it for years on different distributions and it was almost always broken. Best working version I used was on manjaro, but that was 4 years ago, don't know how now. I also tested it on debian few months. ago and it was garbage. One time I was so frustrated I rated it 1/5 in gnome software. I mostly make updates through terminal, because I do not want to get angry anymore.

Another language bindings mean more people will try to code gnome. Typescript is strongly typed language so more errors and bugs can be detected during compile phase.

Thanks god. I've been waiting for so long.
