CIRCLE WITH A DOT

We are approaching 1000 #FriendsofGNOME! Who is joining us to celebrate #GNOME 50?https://donate.gnome.org

@forteller I can't really imagine that. Unless the app needed new permissions in the meantime and that's why it didn't work properly anymore. Which apps were those?

The new document annotation feature might win the prize for most useful feature in #GNOME 50. We love the design on this one.Check out the release notes to learn more: https://release.gnome.org/50#opensource #FOSS

@markwyner Hold on a second, does the Touchbar actually work? I was thinking about switching myself, but was scared about this not being the case.Do also the F keys work?

Yesterday's #GNOME 50 release included new parental controls features which are essential for many families. With these features, we're excited to be bringing GNOME to new generations who can experience open source for the first time.Check out the release notes to learn more https://release.gnome.org/50

@nekohayo @gnome hahaha i noped out of that thread pretty quickly. you don't need to pay attention to the *whole* internet, jeff. thank you so much for your work and congrats on gnome 50! ️ i'm super excited for The Greatest Calendar Application Computers Have Ever Known

@itsfoss I want to like Wayland, its superior to x11 in every way, but good lord, just try to get a color picker, or a screen recorder, or anything of that nature to work with Wayland, not to mention gaming, or using proprietary touch drivers.

@jimmac Geometric fetishism. This looks like a tech demo for a 2010s graphics engine rather than a cozy desktop. These renders really remind me of old OpenGL or POV-Ray demos, back when everyone was just excited that a sphere could cast a soft shadow. In 2026, I want some life on my desktop, not a descriptive geometry textbook.

Thanks to everyone who’s contributed to improving our app centre and updater!Merge request contributions are always welcome, there are plenty of UI papercuts which you could help to fix — https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-software/-/issues?label_name%5B%5D=User%20interface

@kaestralblades @gnome Interesting. I'm American and we don't have that one.

Happy GNOME 50 release day!https://release.gnome.org/50/#gnome #gnome50

@alexhall @9to5linux of particular interest is Orca's new entirely redesigned settings UI

@thelinuxEXP Great video, Nick! I hadn't realized the many improvements that come with this release! I made a sigh of relief when you mentioned that fractional scaling is now fully supported. That's awesome!

@argv_minus_one surely the market-dominant proprietary OS deciding of its own accord to analyze and organize programs into certain categories with no input from the user can't and won't be used for nefarious purposes. after all, is there any company more historically trustworthy than microsoft?

Coming up in GNOME 50, there’s a new accessibility option: Reduced Motion! It enables you to reduce animations across both the desktop and apps, which can help people with motion sensitivity, dizziness, or migraines.Thank you to the many contributors who made this happen! ️#GNOME #accessibility #linux #opensource #a11y #InclusiveDesign
