    Oh boy the extension breakage whiplash is real.

    I'm such an awful early adopter that I don't mind extension breakage as long as I get the latest goodies.

    Gnome users beware and upgrade libcue.

    Since that post was'nt available for me atm, just reposting relevant Github blog : 1-Click RCE on GNOME

    The TL;DR

    libcue is a library used for parsing cue sheets—a metadata format for describing the layout of the tracks on a CD. it’s used by tracker-miners: an application that’s included with GNOME.The index is automatically updated when you add or modify a file in certain subdirectories of your home directory, in particular including ~/Downloads. To make a long story short, that means that inadvertently clicking a malicious link is all it takes for an attacker to exploit CVE-2023-43641 and get code execution on your computer.

    I haven't used gnome in a while and decided to check it out again. I noticed that even though I've set the theme to dark apps like nautilus and gnome-control-center are always light-themed. Is that their intended behavior? If not, any ideas on what's wrong?

    Are those apps installed as Flatpaks ?

    No they are official arch linux packages. There are no flatpak or snap packages on this system. The only AUR packages that could influence appearance on this system are the adwaita-qt* packages, but these should have no effect at all on gnome apps.

    If this is not a known issue, I guess I might have outdated options in config files or the dconf database. I'll do a cleanup and see if it fixes it.

    It crashes beautifully. Might be an extension but I'm not eager for disappointment, I reverted the upgrade back.

    I thought we would get fractional scaling? I still only see the 100%, 200%, and 300% options in my display settings. Am I missing something or was this for a future release?

    Its been experimental for a while and can be enabled manually via some properties changes.

    It also looks like crap, they render at a lower res and scale up a bit poorly. I settled on just making my fonts scale fractionally and it looks better IMO.

    I thought Gnome fractional scaling was rendering at a higher res and then downsampling? Did they change this recently?

    Last time I checked they weren't super sampling. If they are now they're doing a terrible job scaling.

    Does anyone know how to access the Image Viewer that the GNOME release notes are talking about? Right now, I have the Eye of GNOME set as my image viewer, but I was wondering if that should've been upgraded.

    I have two broken extensions: pop-shell and pano clipboard manager. I'll miss pop-shell for automatic tiling big time. The other alternatives suck in comparison 😭😭😭
