Hi, I just tried out the new GNOME 40 COPR discussed in the Workstation WG meeting: https://pagure.io/fedora-workstation/issue/210 https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/haeckerfelix/gnome-shell-40/ ``` $ rpm -q gnome-shell gnome-shell-40.0~alpha-1.20210110.0.x86_64 ``` First impressions are positive! Breaking down my observations by category. UX: - Mostly fine. I miss being able to have a "God's Eye view" of all my desktops when triggering the Activities view, with the new design as is I have to scroll Stability: - seems fine under Wayland. Experiencing screen tearing under X11 (using Element.io's Matrix client via Flatpak and Kitty) Regressions: - Toggling natural scrolling on and off has no effect, it behaves as if natural scrolling is off - GNOME Tweaks no longer allows toggling extensions on and off (even though it doesn't come from this COPR; I have not looked into how this works under the hood). It should probably recommend gnome-extensions- app - This interacts poorly with PaperWM: Alt-Tab/Super-Tab didn't work, every window but the last launched would not show up (and every app launched automatically on login), and disabling the extension via gnome-extensions-app didn't fully fix the disappearing windows until the next login. Not unexpected, let me know if I should file a bug against PaperWM now or wait until later? I expect Material Shell to be even more impacted, as it more heavily modifies the Shell environment Best regards, -- Michel Alexandre Salim profile: https://keyoxide.org/michel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx chat via email: https://delta.chat/ GPG key: 5DCE 2E7E 9C3B 1CFF D335 C1D7 8B22 9D2F 7CCC 04F2
