It sure would be nice if #GNOME would either keep the original names for their apps or rename them completely so I don’t have to remember that “Web” is still packaged as “epiphany” and “Videos” is “totem”

Anyone know how to change the scroll wheel speed on Gnome Web or other Chromium browsers?
Anyone know how to change the scroll wheel speed on Gnome Web or other Chromium browsers?
I really like the way the Mastodon web UI works as a PWA installed to the desktop, but I’m really frustrated by the much slower scrolling compared to Firefox (which, annoyingly, won’t install a PWA)
Is there a way to view Gnome Software’s ODRS reviews on the web?
I was looking at user reviews and ratings of software in the Gnome Software application on my Fedora system, and wondered where the user reviews came from. A bit of digging and I found the Open Desktop Ratings System, which apparently is also used by Ubuntu.
But the ratings don’t appear on the website views of Flathub or the Snap store, or any other website I can find, so if I’m researching software, I have to be on my Fedora system to see this set of ratings. (Yes, I can find other user reviews. I’m curious about this collection.)
Is there a website that shows the ODRS reviews/ratings somewhere?

Wrote up a guide for telling Gnome what a .gmi file is so it can recognize gemtext on a network share where it’s not checking the file contents. This had the added bonus of letting me define Lagrange as the type’s default app and gedit as an alternate.

I love it. While established desktop UIs are falling over themselves trying to minimize windowing in favor of more tablet-appropriate interfaces (Windows Metro, Gnome 3, etc.), the OS designed specifically for thin clients is picking up more classic desktop elements. (via +Pingdom )

And no, he’s not kidding about the steps you need to take to shut down your computer on GNOME 3.

It’s not just Windows 8 Metro, other new interfaces, like Linux’s GNOME 3.2, stink just as much.
I have given up on GNOME 3.0
I have given up on GNOME 3.0. Never have I before encountered a computer desktop environment that seemed so dedicated to getting in my way of actually accomplishing anything.
On the plus side, KDE 4 seems a lot snappier than I expected.
Gnome 3.0 is seriously going to take some getting used to.

I want my damn minimize button back. And I want to be able to switch to another app with one click, not two. Have I got a broken install?
Wow. Gnome 3.0 hides the “Power off” menu item. You can get at it by pressing Alt. Which I’m sure anyone would think of, right?
