#33 Gnome 40
Closed 2 years ago by x3mboy. Opened 2 years ago by computerkid.

Gnome 40 has a ton of changes since the last Gnome, that wold be interesting to talk about as it comes into f34. @kalev , I think that you were involved in that change. Would you like to be interviewed about the change to Gnome 40?


Hey, sorry, I think I'll skip it this time. I've got a fair amount of things to do and I know publicly speaking is going to just distract me a lot :)

Maybe @aday might want to talk about this? Allan did a ton of the design work for GNOME 40, and can probably speak better about it than most. :wink:

Thanks for responding, it's not a problem if you can't.

Okay @aday if you see this ticket, please respond. If you don't, I'll email eventually :wink:

Thanks for suggesting me, @ngompa. I'd be up for this.

Ping @aday

Please email me at aday@redhat.com to schedule, thanks!

Okay, @aday and I have got this narrowed down on when to do. Our soonest options are
- the 6th of July, 10:00 to 12:00
- the 7th of July 10:30 to 12:00
That's in EDT, @x3mboy and my timezone. So how does that sound Eduard? I can start on shownotes now.

Both works for me, so we take what fits best to @aday

aaaaaaah my bad, I'm sorry, these are both supposed to be in July. Editing now

Show notes draft:

  1. Intro and set up interview
  2. Personal question, who is aday
  3. Introduce Gnome as the Fedora Workstation desktop enviroment, and gnome 40
  4. What are the biggest differences between Gnome 40 and the previous version? Could you explain them, and why they are?
  5. Where did you get the ideas for these changes?
  6. Why did we decide to switch to Wayland in Fedora 34? What are the upsides and downsides of it?
  7. What are the benefiets of switching to GTK 4?
  8. Why did we move to Gnome 40 in Fedora 34, while other distros have stayed back on their releases? If Gnome 40 hadn't been a Fedora 34 change, would 34 still have picked it up as an update?
  9. Did you have to make any changes to Fedora, to make it work with Gnome 40? IDK if this is a good question...
  10. How can we contribute to Gnome, and Fedora Workstation?

@x3mboy We're going to go on the 7th, pending @aday 's health. He has a cold.

Great! I hope he get better soon!

After much re scheduling, we should be able to record on Friday.
