A bit of a confusing title, lemme explain myself first.

I have two separate shortcuts that launch two different LibreWolf (fork of Firefox) profiles, one for personal stuff (the default profile) and the other for strictly university stuff. Whenever I launch the desktop file for the university profile, it still associates the window with the default profile icon.

Here's a video for demonstration (above icon is modified to differentiate between the two):

https://reddit.com/link/1gifen2/video/l7jfkkhq9myd1/player

How do I get it so that the windows opened by the bottom LibreWolf icon are associated with the bottom LibreWolf icon? I've managed to do it before in Fedora Workstation 40/41, although I'm trying to recreate my setup on a new install of Ubuntu LTS 24.04.

Underneath are the desktop files, top one is the "LibreWolf" shortcut and the bottom one is the "LW/University" shortcut.

This has been happening after I updated my system earlier today with sudo dnf update -y

I added a few images showing which plugins, themes and icons I'm currently using.

NOTE: I didn't install any new plugins/and or themes when this started happening, but I did probably disable and enable some of them (i.e some of the plugins and themes) which could've caused a change..?

Problem:

This has been something that's been frustrating me for years and I've never been able to solve it. I've noticed on Linux (GNOME) that my mouse/cursor has a slightly different feel than on Windows and it makes doing a lot of tasks less convenient as I have to put more effort towards slight corrections. This isn't an issue with my mouse itself or its DPI as it doesn't change. The actual movement of the cursor is slightly jittier and less precise than average.

At first I thought it was a cursor issue so I installed the same exact cursor I use on Windows, and I'm still getting the same feel. I've tried disabling mouse acceleration but I'm getting the same movement. I run both Windows and Linux at 144Hz using NVIDIA drivers, and the problem's persisted whether I used X11 or Wayland.

Is there an integrated search modul for firefox into gnome ?

Hello everyone!

I have a serious consideration about my OLED screen in my laptop. I often use it to watch videos. I have observed, that when there is a video player (stremio, chrome, mpv), pausing the video on fullscreen does not cause the screen to go off, ever.

I think this behaviour is making my screen to prone have burned pixels, and I know that then using KDE Plasma DE, this behavious was not present.

I have my screen set to go off after 5 minutes in the Gnome Settings, but it appears that under these circumstances it does not apply.

Is there any particular setting, that can be changed to make my screen go off in this case, like dconf setting, or any configuration file?

Hi. I have a problem where I can't change the border of a application . I tried using gtk-4.0 to remove it but failed miserably. As you can see in the image I'm using kitty terminal, and there is this ugly border around the titlebar, Is there any way to expand this border around the whole app or to remove it? Thansk in advance

Hi everyone! Is there a gtk4 libadwaita photo editor that can do basic tasks like cropping and rotating quickly?

Hello. I just upgraded my Fedora installation to v41, and all seems to be fine overall, but I'm having a little issue. When I select an accent color different from blue, it is applied to the shell (quick settings, calendar, overview) but GTK4 apps still use blue for their buttons and controls:

https://imgur.com/pZMPiEx

I've tried disabling all of my extensions (like Luminus Shell), reinstalling gnome-shell and resetting all of the Dconf settings with dconf reset -f /, but the problem persists. And I don't have any custom CSS files in either ~/.config/gtk-3.0 or ~/.config/gtk-4.0: https://imgur.com/4qE34WG

I must say that I'm not talking about GTK3 apps or flatpaks. As you can see in the screenshot, those are the basic GNOME apps: Clock (v47), Image Viewer (v47.1), Nautilus (v47) and Calculator (v47). And my GNOME shell version is 47.1.

Any ideas of why this happening or what other settings I can check?

I have this one as example

I would like learn to identify, in what version this will be live so I don't need be asking all the time

Hello everyone. In different tasks, my gnome session crashes and immediately reboots (that is, it throws me to the user authorization screen). This happens under high loads (for example, when a virtual machine + browser + game are running simultaneously). Now my session crashed while experimenting with the graphics mod settings in Minecraft. Why does my DE session crash, and not individual applications?

I've reinstalled zorin os, when i added dash to dock extension, it was working fine but whenever i open brave browser, dock just sometimes doesn't pop up ( enabled autohide ), and even if it does it flickers... Same with rounded windowsl corner extension, it sometimes works sometimes not...

I need your suggestions on this..

Hi there -

I have installed the long awaited Fedora 41, with Gnome 47. The killer feature for me is that apparently FINALLY it is possible to leverage my Microsoft 365 accounts (which I need) with support for Mail, Calendar, Contacts, and Drive.

However, I'm finding that Evolution (the only linux mail client I've yet seen which supports MS accounts 'properly'), is taking forever to load my old messages. I'm fine with just the headers.

It gets stuck after about a year's worth of mail, whether I leave it on overnight 'syncing' (but actually doing nothing - zero network activity), restarting/stopping evolution, rebooting, clearing cache, recreating 'Online Accounts' entries, etc.

How does one force Evolution to either adhere to a date restriction for sync'ing, or force it to fetch old messages? I'm at a loss. I feel like I'm close to finally having a workable linux mail/calendar/contacts client, but there seems to be no means of actually getting it to work. I'd consider giving up on linux mail clients altogether and just use PWAs for mail, but since I have a few separate accounts (family, etc) PWAs won't work - you're in one account or another, and nothing's consolidated.

I know it'll take a while to sync. But it'd be great if it actually did progress.

I'm at a loss here.

Any ideas?

I wanted to share some thoughts after returning to Linux (Arch Linux/CachyOS) and GNOME following over a decade on Windows. The initial trigger was random: I had to send in my work laptop for maintenance. But I took the opportunity to deepen my knowledge of Linux and Rust by writing a GNOME app with gtk-rs.

Right away, I encountered about 20-30 bugs and missing features that I missed from Windows. With a lot of patience, I’ve managed to tackle most of them. The worst issues were frequent crashes with Wayland, which were mostly resolved with GNOME 47. The hope that things will get fixed or improved in the next GNOME or kernel release is a mindset that I remember well from before I switched to Windows. Many of my software engineer colleagues have since moved from Linux to macOS, which still seems reasonable.

Too much time is still wasted on maintaining X11 and GTK2 (GIMP!) compatibility. Even GTK3 and general legacy GNOME documentation keep appearing when researching solutions.

GNOME’s greatest strength—a streamlined, aesthetic out-of-the-box experience—is also its greatest weakness: the influence of GNOME developers' opinions. I frequently encountered bugs that already had merge requests, only to find that the requests were closed with the bugs labeled as features. This results in a heavy reliance on GNOME extensions as workarounds.

The transition from C to Rust is too slow, and I don't think there’s a way around it. Hacking in C in my free time just isn’t enjoyable, especially with the declining relevance of desktop applications. Although efforts are being made to simplify using other languages, it’s still challenging.

I wanted to learn, and my coding project has certainly delivered on that! gtk-rs uses Rust, which relies on C bindings for GTK, which itself heavily relies on class inheritance—something neither Rust nor C natively supports. On top of that, the documentation is incomplete or only available for other languages.

On a positive note, I’m surprisingly happy with GNOME’s aesthetics and user interface. Hardware support is much improved compared to the past. CachyOS makes Arch Linux user-friendly while remaining quite stable. I/O performance (e.g., compiling) is about 20% faster than on Windows, and power consumption is even better on Linux.

As a silver lining, projects like Flatpak and government investments like the Sovereign Tech Fund might eventually provide a boringly stable open-source ecosystem.

Edit: as requested here some of the issues I encountered, label them bugs or missing features as you see fit.

My 'favorite' is the focus stealing prevention feature of GNOME, which breaks e.g. hyperlinks between apps in Wayland, if the XDG activation protocol is not used. The merge request to disable it has been open for many years. They also made a blog post, why the feature is important. It is reasonable from a technical standpoint, but it just doesn't help affected users in any way. There is not even a dconf setting or a allow-list for apps. The only workaround is to use an extension and hope that your (proprietary) apps will use the correct protocol eventually.

Hi everyone! I recently came across Celeste, an app that lets you sync multiple cloud services. It’s built with GTK4 and Rust, and I think it’s an amazing project. As far as I know, there’s nothing quite like it for GNOME!

Honestly, I don't think it's fully mature yet, and it seems like the main developer doesn’t have much time to keep working on it. I’m not a developer myself, so aside from supporting financially, I’m not sure what else could be done to help move the project forward.

How do you all manage syncing multiple cloud services on Linux? I use the official Nextcloud app, and for Google Drive I just use the web interface, but I’d love a unified tool that integrates well with the system. I’d be thrilled to see Celeste make it into GNOME Circle one day, with strong community support.

Has anyone else tried it out? Or do you know of any good alternatives?

Hi there,

I'm trying to set a couple of key bindings through the terminal + GSettings, but one of them (custom0) fails, although its syntax is the same as the next binding's (custom1). I tried gsettings monitor + schema to see the changes while I was adding the key/value pairs. And it indeed does the same I'm trying to achieve with the below code.

Interestingly, the key with <Super>Insert works and is visible on the "Settings -> Keyboard" panel. But not <Super>f - the one for opening the ~/Downloads directory.

Here are the commands I insert from the terminal:

$ gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys custom-keybindings ['/org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/media-keys/custom-keybindings/custom0/']
$ gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys.custom-keybinding:/org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/media-keys/custom-keybindings/custom0/ name 'File Browser'
$ gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys.custom-keybinding:/org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/media-keys/custom-keybindings/custom0/ command 'nautilus $HOME/Downloads'
$ gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys.custom-keybinding:/org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/media-keys/custom-keybindings/custom0/ binding '<Super>f'
$ gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys custom-keybindings ['/org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/media-keys/custom-keybindings/custom1/']
$ gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys.custom-keybinding:/org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/media-keys/custom-keybindings/custom1/ name 'Change Wallpaper'
$ gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys.custom-keybinding:/org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/media-keys/custom-keybindings/custom1/ command 'styli.sh -g -d $HOME/Pictures/Wallpapers'
$ gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys.custom-keybinding:/org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/media-keys/custom-keybindings/custom1/ binding '<Super>Insert'

Any help? Thank you!

Which one do you use?

Can the icon be changed to whatever icon you want? Or is it tied to the whitesur theming? I could do this in KDE. As you can see I've changed the other icons without issue. But it's been a long time since using Gnome and not sure if I'm just missing something daft?

This is probably the most annoying part of the UI in Gnome right now. Every application has its own set of buttons.

I can minimize some Windows but not others.

It should be standardized, no?

This screenshot for example is Slack, Mattermost, Terminal, and Edge on Fedora 41. I'm assuming it is the same on Ubuntu. Update : Actually Ubuntu does not have this problem

I am trying to have most of my apps be GTK4. One of the last ones is FSearch.

It is like Windows' Everything, where it makes it really quick and easy to search through the file-system via a GUI. Are there any good GTK4 equivalent apps for this?

As soon as I attach a second GPU to seat1, GDM activates a greeter on it. Is there a way to prevent GDM from doing that? Perhaps using a udev tag, or maybe by preventing org.freedesktop.login1 from announcing the seat?

Which languages would allow me to develop GTK apps for both Linux, Mac and Windows natively (so no WSL or similar)?
