For the first time, I'm not upgrading to the new release
1 project | /r/gnome | 3 Oct 2023

I mean.... yeah! Thats exactly what you should be doing. Upgrading your OS when not all your essential software is supported is bad practice to begin with and most non-rolling Distro support previous version for a bit (Fedora 38 will be supported for 6 months after the release of 39 for example). The extension manager app has a great "upgrade assistant" that lets you easily see which of your extension was already ported. Most extensions were already ported and the rest will probably follow shortly after Gnome 45 hits major distros. GSconnect already merged a PR so their release will be soon.

Things You Can Do with KDE Connect on Linux
2 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 12 May 2023

I'm using GSConnect on Ubuntu. I have first disabled "Clipboard Sync". There are a number of Actions for which keyboard shortcuts can be defined for a device [1]. One of them is Clipboard Push. I assigned Shift+Ctrl+Alt+V to that, so whenever I execute that contrived key combination, the clipboard is synced to my mobile. I suppose KDE Connect has a similar feature.

it works, but the github says the project doesn't have dedicated developers. https://github.com/GSConnect/gnome-shell-extension-gsconnect/wiki
Is there a way to refresh GSconnect once in a while or assign a shortcut to refresh it? I want a command which can be used to refresh GSconnect, I will just assign a key to it.

Gnome Theme Uninstall
1 project | /r/firefox | 12 May 2023

I recently installed Firefox-gnome-theme from Github. When I tried to uninstall it, it wont go back to original Firefox theme. I even tried to install Firefox again after uninstalling the one with Gnome theme and removing every folder with Mozilla or Firefox in its name.

I just checked this discussion here (https://github.com/rafaelmardojai/firefox-gnome-theme/discussions/447) and it seems this theme is not tested/might not work well on Windows :( sorry my comment was misleading, I didn't think this post was going to get this much traction.

How do you think with GTK4 none themable?
2 projects | /r/gnome | 16 Mar 2023

It's nice in theory to try to have a cohesive design, but as soon as you start downloading additional apps, thing will start being less and less coherent. Maybe you'll get Firefox to match the rest of the system (but that will require a separately maintained CSS for every ,theme like what Rafael Mardojai does for Firefox), but apps Chromium, OBS, Steam, Discord, Spotify? It's not realistic to expect every App to maintain a version that fits every DE there is. The only thing I would care about is that the apps come with a Light/Dark mode and follow the system preference.
