ships an extension for the you know the watermark at the bottom right the reason why we do that is because gnome refuses to implement distro branding anywhere there's actually no support for distro branding in the entire source tree of the entire desktop you can't do it so you have to patch it like we have a patch for gdm we have an override to offer an extension on gnome shell we have to compile in extra logic into gnome initial setup we have to patch in the gnome settings panel or genome control center is what it's called yeah their source has to do that too just for a logo yeah it's just so that it will pick a logo and do the right thing there like the way i would describe it is that gnome considers themselves the the project that delivers the experience to the users and this is despite them not having a direct deliverable of any kind right exactly and despite some people wanting to turn it into that it's definitely not intended to do that because people would not be very happy with the end result of that experience yes that is the ironic thing i mean there's a conomo s but even they admit it's not for production i mean i think that's one of the reasons why i really enjoy new releases of fedora and so to say something positive here i tried out fedora NUMBER_TOKEN over the weekend and kept it up to date and it's got gnome NUMBER_TOKEN in there and there is some nice things to see like something i used to have to use an extension for integrating power profiles is now just built into gnome i love seeing that and the other thing is they have a new multitask settings pane that you can go into the gnomes control center and go to multitasking and you can kind of configure some of your options like windows snapping and whatnot it's well done and on the fedora side they've worked to enable parts of flat hub if you enable the third party repo so now you have flat hub in your gnome software search i mean like there's really good stuff happening here not to mention on the back end fedora NUMBER_TOKEN is going to ship with extremely improved nvidia and weyland support proprietary nvidia driver and weyland support huge stuff right and so like the development is still continuing and good stuff is being created but they are extremely confident in their opinion on how it's being consumed and what direction they need to go and i'll link to a blog post uh that says the truth they're not telling you about themes and it's worth a read you know so you can hear their response and you can hear their side of it i'll have that linked in the show notes at URL_TOKEN thanks for joining us josh i'm glad that there are people like you out there shaping the software and the distros that the rest of us end users out there are just getting to enjoy and there's a lot of hard and controversial decisions that go into that URL_TOKEN unplugged go there to get NUMBER_TOKEN and NUMBER_TOKEN day credit on your new account and you go there to support the show linode is our hosting provider you know they started in NUMBER_TOKEN and have focused on just making really great cloud hosting and now NUMBER_TOKEN years later here they are independent and proud and uh continuing to make awesome services and now they've just grown they've got NUMBER_TOKEN data centers nearly a million customers they've
