Sarcasm: You can no longer see your running applications. But fear not, they plan to give you a menu of running applications in the next release so you can close them if they ever get minimized.
I’m still waiting for proper fractional scaling in gnome’s wayland that won’t turn the screen into a blurry mess. I’m using gnome tweaks’ font size setting as a workaround for now, but it’s not ideal.
Shouldn’t be blurry if you run Wayland supported apps. For me only Jetbrains products are blurry since they use Java which doesn’t support fractional scaling.
I assume you enabled experimental fractional scaling in gnome?
Might win me back over if the weird green lines and glitching I always see with chrome on intel GPUs under linux goes away. I've also spent a lot of time trying to debug the issue but nothing ever seems to fix it and of course none of the Linux driver devs that might be able to fix it care to work on the problem imo.
Guess I have felt lucky to have hardware decoding at all on chrome - considering the it has taken Firefox this long to support intel GPUs. I imagine it has something to do with how massive their codebase is compared to everyone elses.
Considering how good Firefox is, and how much of a monopoly that Chrome-based browsers have over the web, I'd run Firefox just to support freedom of choice.
Another cool new feature for Linux users in the Firefox 115 release is the ability to open links or search for text that has been copied on your clipboard by middle-clicking on the New Tab button. This is a productivity feature as you no longer have to open a new tab and paste the copied text or link you want to search/open.
I have to remember to use it, it'll be incredibly useful.
However, Valve notes the fact that enabling hardware acceleration on NVIDIA GPUs may cause X11 to crash. As such, hardware acceleration will be disabled by default for NVIDIA systems. In addition, Valve says that DPI scaling may not work correctly when hardware acceleration is disabled.
Damn this looks awesome! before i didnt see the point of blend os compared to something like vanilla os, but with this it makes the project a lot more unique!
