No VRR support still. That's the only feature I was hoping would land so I wouldn't have to maintain patched versions of Mutter and g-c-c...

- It's hard to believe this MR head been open for over 3 years. I don't understand why they didn't release it in 46 as an experimental feature. I've begrudgingly resorted to using kde again just for this feature.

  Asakayo(MR-author) and the others tried to get it pushed through as an experimental feature in gnome 46 but last I checked, there was discussion going on as to how to integrate in the settings page so it is clear as to what the settings do. And before making fun of them for spending time on 'trivial things', do read the discussion that is going regarding the design. Some interesting points are brought up there.

the ability to remember the window state.

Wish they would add this the terminal app just as they have done with the extensions app.

  Do you have a link for that? Searching for software with that generic of a name is kind of a wide net.

@petsoi Hey, @gnome people on the fediverse,

Do you think there is still a chance for the merge requests for #VRR and triple buffering being merged for #Gnome46?

Thanks for this awesome DE btw!

#GNOME #Linux #OpenSource

- Not a gnome contributor(just a user) but I don't think either request will be merged because usually there is a feature, UI and API/ABI freeze when the beta is released so no new features are added.
  
  Edit : Seems to be backed up by this
