But Evince will probably stay available in the repos and on Flathub for like 8-10 or more years, like it's the case with many discontinued or inactive projects (see Adobe Acrobat Reader on Flathub lol) so I'm not too worried about this. Same with Portfolio on Phosh, it's ditched for Nautilus, which still isn't that convenient to use on mobile imo, but luckily I can still use Portfolio from Flathub.)</p><p>GNOME 48.4 released with improved update notifications in Software, various bug fixes:<br><a href="https://9to5linux.com/gnome-48-4-finally-improves-update-notifications-in-gnome-software" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">9to5linux.com/gnome-48-4-final</span><span class="invisible">ly-improves-update-notifications-in-gnome-software</span></a></p><p>KDE Gear 25.08 released with improved search in Dolphin, poll support in NeoChat, option to disable built-in adblocker in Angelfish, etc.:<br><a href="https://9to5linux.com/kde-gear-25-08-open-source-software-suite-released-with-many-improvements" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">9to5linux.com/kde-gear-25-08-o</span><span class="invisible">pen-source-software-suite-released-with-many-improvements</span></a></p><p>KDE's Breeze theme drops colorful third-party app icons, in Plasma 6.5, Ocean sound theme has updated updated volume change feedback, system notifications for plugging in devices added:<br><a href="https://www.phoronix.com/news/KDE-Plug-In-Device-Notification" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">phoronix.com/news/KDE-Plug-In-</span><span class="invisible">Device-Notification</span></a></p><p>(FOSS news in comments)</p><p><a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/WeeklyNews" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WeeklyNews</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/News" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>News</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/LinuxNews" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LinuxNews</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/GNOME" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GNOME</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/KDE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KDE</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/KDEPlasma" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KDEPlasma</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/GNOMEDesktop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GNOMEDesktop</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/GNOMEDesktop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GNOMEDesktop</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/GNOME48" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GNOME48</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/KDEGear" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KDEGear</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/DesktopEnvironment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DesktopEnvironment</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/LinuxDesktop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LinuxDesktop</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/DesktopLinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DesktopLinux</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/FosseryTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FosseryTech</span></a></p>

Matthew Sheffield<p>One of the dumbest design decisions of <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/GTK" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GTK</span></a> is to have "warp scrolling" the default primary mouse button behavior.</p><p>Previously, if you middle-clicked the scrollbar, it would jump to that position within the buffer. Primary click moved up/down by page. GTK 3 reversed this for no reason. </p><p>There are some limited scenarios where jump scrolling is desired, but you should never break a standard UX convention without a tremendous benefit.

Nice and fast again. All devices are 1 TB.</p><p>What's cool about RAID10 is that it can be converted to RAID0 in-place. So when I out of game space and I don't care about keeping the install directories safe (mods, etc.), I can just double my capacity.
