#GNOME supports a lot of foundational technologies that are widely used. Did you know that libxml2 is in every smart tv for the past 15 years?
If you are a company or individual that uses libxml2, consider donating to the GNOME Foundation so we can help make maintenance of these software sustainable for everyone to use.

Just finished a look into the brand new @elementary OS 8.1!
Is the move to Wayland by default (Secure Session) ready for prime time? Yes, yes it is. I walk through the installer, test out the new workspace switcher in the dock, and check out the new monitor and other apps.
If you are looking for a polished, Ubuntu 24.04 based experience, this release has a lot of polish to show off. Great for new users!

Firefox is adding a feature you'll actually want to use: Split View. It lets you see two websites side-by-side in a single tab.
It's still a WIP, but if you run Firefox 146 you can try it out.
