From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

GNOME’s Native Screencasting Feature is Taking Shape (www.omglinux.com)

submitted 1 year ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

The developer working on integrating network display functionality into GNOME Shell shared short video clip to the GNOME sub-reddit [...] the feature adds a “screencast” button to the row of actions in the Quick Settings menu. Clicking this opens a modal picker where the user can select any Miracast or Chromecast compatible displays on the network.

I really like gnome but those giant buttons doesn't look good.

Just sharing a recent positive experience with bigger buttons: I just did some remote support because a printer wouldn't work. RustDesk worked great and thanks to the bigger buttons clicking them with awful latency wasn't so bad.

Yeah I guess they are practical and easier to push. There is always pros and cons. :)

My nitpick with those menus is how close the pop up menu is to the top panel and right edge of screen. I'd love to see some space between there.

I find this argument to be one of the most intellectually and technically dishonest ones against GNOME. With a few clicks on internet, you can download and use any good GTK3/4 theme like GNOME Professional, Nordic or Qogir. See the Fonts and Tilix/Terminal title bars.

GNOME's custom scaling is not just most polished, but the most compact of all DEs (tried KDE, XFCE and LXQt), with the top bar taking a whopping 18 pixels of space on a 1366x768 display. And I did not even need to touch a configuration file, ever.
