What is your #GNOME highlight from 2025?
@gnome I joined the Summer of GNOME OS challenge, and actually ended up creating/registering so many issues that I was in the top three when the challenge ended. I'm pretty sure the only reason is because others didn't register their issues, though, but it was still fun.
Also, getting a reply and being taken seriously when I butted in on a board discussion was really nice 😊
My #Gnome wishlist for 2026 (no order):
- Remember Bluetooth state across sessions
- Better integration with recently/most used files and favorite folders
- Better navigation of search results in the overview
- Type ahead in Files again
- Completing the work on background apps
- Faster Software
- Auto-dismiss notifications after a while
- Better, consistent keyboard shortcuts & gestures
- Session restore
- Stable Gnome OS for the masses 😊

So maybe someone on fedi can help me here, but after updating my #ThinkPad #T14 #BIOS to 1.17, #fedora can no longer #suspend normally and freezes and requires a hard power-off each time. I tried some #grub stuff, many suggested fixes I found on the internet and a newer kernel (6.18 instead of 6.17) but nothing worked. So I think it may be a #Lenovo issue.

Finally managed to try out #Reflection by @modal on #GNOME today! I was very positively suprised by how well the NAT traversal seems to work ... my usecase is for collaborative meeting notes in a local org, so not everyone is in the same network. I connected to LTE via my phone's hotspot, and kept the other computer (a 17 year old laptop running Debian) connected to WLAN. Turns out that works perfectly, it even auto-reconnected and resolved conflicts correctly 🤯

For years I have been hoping for a FLOSS alternative to "Adobe Scan", the Android app to scan receipts (essentially) with automatic cropping + deskewing + cleanups + OCR, and there was nothing similar I could find in F-Droid… until three months ago, where #FairScan just materialized out of the blue, and I discovered it today: https://www.fairscan.org
Your turn, #LinuxMobile, time to make #GNOME's "Simple Scan" application "camera-ready" 😉 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/simple-scan/-/issues/344
