  1. 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

  2. While runs perfectly on 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): github.com/MintyDoggo/bitwig-c

  4. 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...

  5. Un nuovo strumento open source punta a rendere molto più completo il lavoro con screenshot e registrazioni dello schermo su Linux.

  6. #lazymastodon #lazyweb #linux #wayland #android
    Okay, who can tell me how to run android apps on my linux desktop in 2026 without making me move my desktop to wayland?

    I'll give 10 points to whoever answers this first with a pointer to a practical method.

  7. #cow #fvwm #wayland

    I've just merged a PR to cow which adds the ability to define aliases for commands/scripts in cow. For example:

    alias terminal exec xterm
    bind L+return terminal

    Or something more exotic:

    alias tidy-desktop script {
    winops -F 'self.current_desk and self.iconified' -I
    focus -n -w
    }

    menu-add RootMenu "Tidy desktop" tidy-desktop

    Enjoy! This should cut down on duplication even more.

  8. Modern display pipelines need accurate color, better debugging, and efficient use of hardware.

    Weston 16 helps move that work forward with expanded HDR and color management support, improved Perfetto tracing, DRM backend optimizations, and new protocol and renderer capabilities.
