The Mini Floating Panel GNOME Shell extension has been updated to add a 'drawer' for accessing applet and other indicator icons - nice!

On August 15, 1997, @Migueldeicaza announced the start of GNOME on the GTK mailing list¹. Twenty-eight years later a lot has changed, but we continue to develop and iterate on “a free and complete set of user friendly applications and desktop tools… based entirely on free software.”

To help us continue this work far into the future, we hope you join us in celebrating our birthday by becoming a Friend of GNOME today! 🎂

Screenshot of Tuba. THe user is in the Hashtags View which shows two hashtags, Caturday and GNOME. On the left of each hashtag there's a star button, which is active in both cases. At the bottom of the sidebar the two hashtags are listed and the user is hovering over Caturday.

With #GUADEC2025 going on, I finally felt motivated about doing a little write-up that I had been planning for a while. In the best case scenario, it can help prospective new developers to get that little push to start sharing their stuff with the world. It's not as scary as it looks :)

Also contains some sneak peaks into the next stable version of Graphs if anyone is interested in that ;-)

Would be nice to have a way to automatically save the text one takes a screenshot of into the metadata of the screenshot.

First I thought of running it trough Frog or some other OCR – but then I remembered that the text is right there… It should just be copied in some way, right?

Is there an alt text metadata field in png, btw, that can be accessed by websites asking for alt text?

@forteller Currently I don’t think applications expose text to the compositor so that the text can be saved as part of the screenshot but I believe the new access kit backend in @GTK might be a stepping stone to that.

I believe storing text that is contained in screenshots is already done on platforms such as iOS, where when I search for some text, it will show up all the photos that had that text in them. Maybe that work could be integrated in GNOME

Hey #linux users. Please boost.

I maintain (remotely) ~10 linux laptops for a client. I've used #ubuntu LTS for years because they don't need anything fancy, stability is more important that bang-up-to-dateness. But I've gone off Ubuntu because of #snaps and it increasingly pushing adverts/pro-services.

Anyone got any experience with remote admin-ing and maintaining linux laptops? Would prefer #gnome based.
