Now I just need https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutte..._requests/1429 for full screen multi monitor gaming!

Looks like the GNOME team now focuses on what is really important. Great!

Congratulations to the team, great job. I'm a Fedora user and only thing about 33 release is off is the default wallpaper, it's ugly as hell.

Been using sway+Wayland for some time, after making my journey from KDE to Gnome to Xfce and Enlightenment.
Sway rocks. Nothing else matters.

Screensharing/screencasting sucks everywhere, specially in Wayland.

I use Wayland. I'm saving money to get another GPU and an HDMI extender.

What about Miracast? What about DIAL? What about Google Cast?
MiracleCast doesn't work and it's unmaintained.

I love GNOME and think it is great! I also like this new release, and I think the wallpaper is great.

I would like Web (Epiphany), Videos (Totem) and Evince (PDF reader) to be sandboxed with Flatpak, seccomp, and all that good stuff, so I can can visit random websites, and open random movies, music and PDF documents without have to worry that it has to things it shouldn't.

I would like to have AV1, PDF, JPEG, H.264, etc decoders written in Rust so I can open random media files from random websites without have to worry about specially crafted media files exploiting security vulnerabilities in the decoder.

When I upgrade GNOME most of my extensions tend to break, like Dash-to-panel, Dash-to-dock, Desktop icons, etc.

On Windows 10 you have a calculator with support for plotting, you have a WinKey+G game bar that can record the screen, you have nice, convenient shortcuts such as WinKey+R (run), WinKey+E (file explorer), Ctrl+Alt+Del, etc.

I would like further improvements to Gitg, the graphical GTK client for Git, it's nice, and I like Git but Git is a bit difficult to use, so it is nice with a GUI, so I would like to see improvements to Gitg so it can be even better.

I was talking about Fedora not Gnome.
