Hiya, apologies for my tardy follow up here – its been a busy start to the year! I’ll do my best to respond to everyone, but do call it out if I’ve overlooked anything.
@luisalvarado Does Ubuntu have a gaming team or gaming optimization roadmap?
We do in theory but in practice it’s understaffed. We are planning on growing the team and when that starts we should be more visible. But yes we need to do a lot more here. @ashtonn posted some details on a new matrix space and gaming team dev channel should anyone want to drop by to see what the team are currently working on (new gaming tab for the app center). We’d like to provide a better ‘getting started’ experience for gaming which I think covers some of your later comments in this post.
@johnandmegh re X11 and wayland It might be helpful, as that assessment takes place, to catalog the results
@vanvugt is there anything you can share on this ^ currently?
@barnesc May I suggest:
sudo snap install M365
sudo snap install GWS
Agreed. My examples above were in haste. I also suspect we’ll need -unofficial
or similar to avoid confusion.
@whiskeyPeak Just curious, but how will this change affect the current Linux plugin ecosystem? If the flutter engine is modified upstream to incorporate GTK 4, will only the plugins that have also made the switch work? What about older Linux distros that don’t have any version of GTK 4 installed?
@robert.ancell are you able to answer this one?
@mohan-ram If there is no time this time around will this feature be implemented in 24.10?
Yes @SergioCostas started on this work a few days ago so we can get it into 24.04!
@SeekTruth I see no mention of Accessibility feature fixes or enhancements.
I assume you’re aware of the funding the GNOME project is managing as part of the Sovereign Tech Fund? Part of that effort is accessibility and we’ll land those improvements in due course. We know there are areas we need to improve here. There are other canonical teams starting to look at this but I don’t know the status of those efforts.
@SeekTruth A brightness controller would also be a welcomed integration.
I personally struggle with multi-monitor setups where I need fractional scaling … and each monitor has a different brightness level so I end up having to tweak them manually which isn’t a great experience. Plus my eyes are getting old so I need a setup thats comfortable for long days in front of the screen. I know that macOS has tools which do allow you to tweak monitor brightness independently.
But I don’t have a good answer for you here and so will have to bank this feedback for the moment but thanks for raising it
