am officially a Friend of GNOME as of a couple days ago, something I should have done sooner but never remembered to before just want to say again how much I love using it. seeing GNOME 3 in action 9-10 years ago is what spurred me to try Linux to begin with, _because_ it looked so unique and very not Windowsy. and as of GNOME 40 and the subsequent Fedora release (4+ years ago), it has remained my daily driver it's not for everybody, but it's by far my favorite desktop to use #GNOME #Linux

my most recent video was edited on my Framework 13, in DaVinci Resolve (via davincibox). and the editing experience blew my desktop out of the water, despite the desktop having a dedicated GPU the reason being very simple: OpenCL drivers intel-compute-runtime vs the mess on the AMD side: ROCm, their official option, is very hit-or-miss. rusticl...mostly works, but heavier FX (and especially Fusion..) can be very crashy so tl;dr: Resolve on Linux seems *much* better w/ Intel graphics than AMD

now that I've had my Framework 13 for a couple days, I have to say that trackpad gestures in GNOME are every bit as nice to use as I imagined they'd be I did of course make use of them back with my Pinebook Pro, but the PBP's trackpad doesn't hold up against the Framework 13's at all. the latter's is definitely the nicest trackpad I've used on a laptop (the bar _is_ pretty low as far as what I've actually used myself, but, still) #GNOME #Linux #FrameworkLaptop #Framework13

as much as I love Fedora as an OS, their release cycle, and all the stuff going into making Fedora Atomic, the whole Fedora Flatpaks vs Flathub situation is really shitty i've given my take on it some time ago, but: distros should focus on making the OS itself the best it can be. they don't need to repackage the whole world (obviously not _every_ Fedora packager & contributor is the same, but my above phrasing is for the sake of brevity)
