I’ve never tried Boxes before...will probably update tonight and see if I can get a Tiny Core Linux running in a VM using it.
Since Bluetooth updates were mentioned, I’ll also have to try connecting my AirPods with my Linux box again, since there were a few issues with remembering the connection when I did this earlier.
I switched to GNOME a few months back since having a problem with KDE on my Linux box, and GNOME’s just been great. This is the first Linux DE which I’ve used that feels nice and polished (like macOS). Kudos to the team behind this, y’all been doing good!
'Replying a few days late because I just found out about this release and wanted to agree with parent for future readers.
I used to be on KDE a decade ago, but have gone through fluxbox , macos and dwm since. When switching back to a linux DE, I first tried KDE but small bugs and heterogenous UI on major apps put me off. GNOME3, although I had only heard bad things about until then, is fucking fantastic.
now browsing, email, contact, calendar, media I do in GNOME and the rest in emacs. It's an insane pleasure. GNOME3 (at least on arch) is really stable, customizable to the point where I don't really need anything more.
The only downside I've found so far is that I can only send calendar invites from Evolution where I'd rather send them from the calendard. And I don't think I can accept them with the 'new' mail app, have to use Evolution there as well. Evolution is super powerful, but the UI is starting to get dated... And I miss being able to delete and insert pages in the default mac pdf reader app.
