GNOME 45 Alpha Is Now Available for Public Testing
The alpha version of the upcoming GNOME 45 desktop environment is now available for public testing with various new features and enhancements.
At first I hated the new Gnome but now that I took a deep dive into Extensions I now have my perfect little Mac clone with Arch.
12I used to have a bunch of cool little extensions (and a few big ones, like dash to dock), but upgrading to a new version is always a removed. Plugins stop working and then a process starts where you're looking for updates if or when they'll be updated, if alternatives exists, etc. The system never feels the same to me.
6Yep. I personally like the approach of having a pretty decent system by default and then install extensions for customizing it, rather than having a bloat load of options.
4absolutely, i use Dash to Dock, Just Perfection, Hide Top Bar, Gesture Improvements, Awesome Tiles and Battery Indicator Icon to make it just how I want it

It also introduces an improved Epiphany (GNOME Web) web browse
Did you try it guys ? Is it better than FF or Brave ?
2For me, it's not really to the point where I would use it as a primary browser, but it's still pretty damn good. Definitely worth a try.

I'm still waiting for proper fractional scaling in wayland that won't turn the screen into a blurry mess. I'm using gnome tweaks' font size setting as a workaround for now, but it's not ideal.
1Shouldn't be blurry if you run Wayland supported apps. For me only Jetbrains products are blurry since they use Java which doesn't support fractional scaling.
I assume you enabled experimental fractional scaling in gnome?
1I'll try again to see if the blur only happen on certain apps or all of them.

What did they remove this time?
-4Sarcasm: You can no longer see your running applications. But fear not, they plan to give you a menu of running applications in the next release so you can close them if they ever get minimized.
