Meanwhile: happily using Gnome 42. Even being a professional user, doing development taks, server and infrastructure maintenance taks, lots of communication, some video creation for yt,...
And to make it even more outrageous: I think wayland has long surpassed X11 in terms of useful features and everyday performance. No kidding.

GNOME is really nice to the eyes for me. IMO, it's the most beautiful desktop UI out there. And GNOME Circle apps are very good.
However, it has 2 major issues:- It's impossible to adjust mouse wheel scrolling speed in Wayland. However, the team is already in the process of implementing this feature.
- The file chooser doesn't have a thumbnail mode, thus the worst file chooser out there because it's extremely hard for the users to choose the right file, especially when choosing a picture. This issue has been reported 18 years ago.
I came from Windows 11 to Fedora 36 without any regret.

yesss! that's great. I tried it on Gentoo and all I can say is that I really liked it. I distro-hop once in a while on different machines, but I keep my main workstations on Ubuntu (and plan to keep it that way for years to come). so this comes as a very good news.

On Manjaro it's only an optional dependency for kio and gwenview. I wouldn't be surprised if other distributions have KDE/QT dependencies messed up. I filed a bug report at Arch Linux for spectacle. You, or someone else, should probably do the same for Ubuntu.
This isn't anything specific to spectacle. Installing qt5-imageformats adds support for the included formats across all Qt applications, and there is nothing in spectacle that specifically requires any of those.
Reason for request: It is required for saving WebP images in Spectacle. In Gwenview the package qt5-imageformats is an optional dependency for the same exact reason I brought up this issue. Why is it OK for Gwenview and not Spectacle to have this listed as an optional dependency? Which begs the question: If it doesn't belong in Spectacle as an optional dependency should file a bug reports to have qt5-imageformats removed as an optional dependency from other Qt/KDE programs like Gwenview and Digikam?

Open Software app => Install Gnome Tweaks => Window Title section
Cheers!

I'm a bit confused why that's the case and what you're meant to do (shift it to a different workspace?). There wasn't anything in the windows titlebar with right-click context, nor in the top panel interaction for the app regarding minimizing. I believe more native apps like Nautilus supported such via those menus at least, but it seems it's not consistently supported?
You're supposed to launch apps in their own workspaces. From the overview you can either drag-and-drop app icons into different workspaces, or if you prefer keyboard-based workflows, use Ctrl+Alt+Right/Left to switch workspaces and type app names in the overview. Window management then happens through workspaces, either from the overview, keyboard shortcuts, or touchpad gestures (Wayland only).
That's why in the default experience, there's no minimize buttons, and no panel to restore minimized apps from.
I'm personally too used to this workflow that I have a bad time when forced to use Windows occasionally, with muscle memory getting in the way.Last edited by Vermilion; 22 May 2022, 10:08 AM.

Pipewire recording works, generally speaking.
It may be helpful to purge pulseaudio and/or delete all hidden config files in the user directory.
