#wayland — Public Fediverse posts

GNOME 51 'A Coruña' is released — six months of steady improvements to the Linux desktop.

Highlights:
- Offline Maps — download regions, navigate without a network
- Smoother animations via Mutter's reworked frame scheduler
- Papers (document viewer) now supports visual signatures
- oo7: new secure key/password storage backend
- SVG cursors — sharp at any DPI
- File Previewer rebuilt in GTK 4 + libadwaita

While #bitwig runs perfectly on #niri on my studio computer with a 32" 4k display, it hits a (patchable, but ugly) issue on my 16" 4k laptop.

Bitwig appears to handle mouse pointer scaling entirely on its own and seems to ignore the environment variables the WM/DE passes through.

As a result, on my laptop's 2x-scaled 4K 16:10 display, the cursor becomes gigantic and can only be fixed with a somewhat forceful patch script (which I haven't applied yet): https://github.com/MintyDoggo/bitwig-cursor-fix/tree/main

Kubuntu 26.04. Cairo Dock no longer works #upgrade #kubuntu #kde #wayland

Does anyone have any recommendations for a window management/systray bar for #Wayland compositors that just works without extensive config file configuration? All the ones I've encountered do and end up kinda flakey on top of that...
