More GNOME Performance Improvements Are On The Way

Good. Now, instead of being just a brick, GNOME will become a brick with wheels.

Hopefully it'll get wings in the next stable release.

Awwww. Joined in Jan 2018 and already learned some things about trolling gnome/gtk+ announcements. You must be so proud!

I don't believe Canonical will put any relevant effort in Gnome as well as its desktop version, it has almost abandoned Ubuntu desktop relying for it everything, with very few exceptions, to the upstream version.

Well, they put some relevant effort into making it suck not that much. And hearing all the users hoping someone will actually fix GNOME, you beliving canonical drops the desktop would draw a really dark future.

One guy fixed three bugs. Yeah, it's nice to see but that's hardly the effort I'd expect from the self-proclaimed Linux market leader.

I think this is not true at all. For better or worse, there is, in fact, little in the default Ubuntu installation that comes directly from upstream. The kernel is and always has been a modified build - actually, none of the major distros use an upstream kernel. The GNOME desktop is customised with Canonical's own tools and extensions. Same thing for systemd, network manager, libvirt or qemu. Canonical had abandoned the desktop in the past to focus on the whole convergence fiasco and I, for one, am glad to see that concept finally dead, buried and cremated. It seems to me that to the contrary, Canonical is hopefully back in the desktop business with a renewed focus on improving GNOME, pushing Wayland and snap. I absolutely want to see Linux succeed on the desktop (which doesn't necessarily mean overtaking Windows) and the truth is that so far, only Canonical seems to be in a position to make it happen.

I would love to see this one fixed: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=778926

There will are always performance issues on Wayland until Gnome Shell 4

There are competent people outside of Phoronix forums.

Asking stupid questions is a one-minute job. Trolling is a two-minutes job. Figuring out how to read gitlab.gnome’s activity log is three-minutes job.

Only one of these options will add any value. Spend your time wisely.

Reporting a gnome bug? Wasted time.

He just wrote the truth about gnome/gtk+. It's slow and bloated crap in this moment. Thankfully Canonical will fix memory leaks and performance issues unresolved for years.

Here's a one-line summay of GNOME's gitlab activity log.

For it to get wings, it needs Red Bull to become a GNOME sponsor/contributor.
