GNOME 44 - Just keeps getting BETTER

hello everybody this is Tech cut in this hello everybody this is Tech cut in this video what we're going to be doing is video what we're going to be doing is video what we're going to be doing is checking out the freshly released gnome checking out the freshly released gnome checking out the freshly released gnome 44. there have been a bunch of different 44. there have been a bunch of different 44. there have been a bunch of different improvements and some of them I do quite improvements and some of them I do quite improvements and some of them I do quite enjoy the problem I have with gnome is enjoy the problem I have with gnome is enjoy the problem I have with gnome is every single issue I have seems to uh be every single issue I have seems to uh be every single issue I have seems to uh be fixed in a version or two example is fixed in a version or two example is fixed in a version or two example is being able to pick your output and input being able to pick your output and input being able to pick your output and input sound devices has been integrated within sound devices has been integrated within sound devices has been integrated within the kind of system tray within gnome the kind of system tray within gnome the kind of system tray within gnome that used to be an extension before but that used to be an extension before but that used to be an extension before but that's just another example of something that's just another example of something that's just another example of something that has been fixed this release has a that has been fixed this release has a that has been fixed this release has a lot of cool additions improvements and lot of cool additions improvements and lot of cool additions improvements and things like that and that is what we are things like that and that is what we are things like that and that is what we are going to be checking out in this video going to be checking out in this video going to be checking out in this video gnome 44 is going to be the default gnome 44 is going to be the default gnome 44 is going to be the default desktop environment on both Fedora 38 as desktop environment on both Fedora 38 as desktop environment on both Fedora 38 as well as Ubuntu well as Ubuntu well as Ubuntu 23.04 this video real quick is sponsored 23.04 this video real quick is sponsored 23.04 this video real quick is sponsored by lenode if you're interested in by lenode if you're interested in by lenode if you're interested in setting up various services or websites setting up various services or websites setting up various services or websites lenode is a fantastic place to do that lenode is a fantastic place to do that lenode is a fantastic place to do that you could pick either just a base Linux you could pick either just a base Linux you could pick either just a base Linux distribution including Fedora Gen 2 are distribution including Fedora Gen 2 are distribution including Fedora Gen 2 are truly whatever you need spin that up or truly whatever you need spin that up or truly whatever you need spin that up or use one of their one-click installers to use one of their one-click installers to use one of their one-click installers to easily get a service spun up I've been easily get a service spun up I've been easily get a service spun up I've been using it for nexcloud Minecraft server using it for nexcloud Minecraft server using it for nexcloud Minecraft server and if you use the link down below you and if you use the link down below you and if you use the link down below you can get started today with a hundred can get started today with a hundred can get started today with a hundred dollar sixty day credit and this video dollar sixty day credit and this video dollar sixty day credit and this video that you see right now is actually a that you see right now is actually a that you see right now is actually a video that was put out by the Fedora video that was put out by the Fedora video that was put out by the Fedora team it's a nice little short video that team it's a nice little short video that team it's a nice little short video that covers some of the additions including covers some of the additions including covers some of the additions including one of my personal favorites and that's one of my personal favorites and that's one of my personal favorites and that's the actual background tasks being the actual background tasks being the actual background tasks being integrated kind of into this system integrated kind of into this system integrated kind of into this system trade thing so let's actually dive onto trade thing so let's actually dive onto trade thing so let's actually dive onto the system and check out some of these

the system and check out some of these the system and check out some of these new things Hands-On so here we are on uh new things Hands-On so here we are on uh new things Hands-On so here we are on uh this is Fedora Rawhide if I go ahead go this is Fedora Rawhide if I go ahead go this is Fedora Rawhide if I go ahead go over here go to our settings we can kind over here go to our settings we can kind over here go to our settings we can kind of get a good idea of what this is if we of get a good idea of what this is if we of get a good idea of what this is if we go down to about you can see we are go down to about you can see we are go down to about you can see we are indeed running this is technically indeed running this is technically indeed running this is technically Fedora Linux 39 but it's because it's Fedora Linux 39 but it's because it's Fedora Linux 39 but it's because it's Fedora Rawhide it's the kind of Fedora Rawhide it's the kind of Fedora Rawhide it's the kind of developer preview Branch what's most developer preview Branch what's most developer preview Branch what's most important for this video is that we are important for this video is that we are important for this video is that we are running The Gnome version running The Gnome version running The Gnome version 44.0 this is is running in the virtual 44.0 this is is running in the virtual 44.0 this is is running in the virtual machine so if there's any performance or machine so if there's any performance or machine so if there's any performance or graphical things like that that is why graphical things like that that is why graphical things like that that is why it's running in boxes flat pack if you it's running in boxes flat pack if you it's running in boxes flat pack if you are interested but first thing starting are interested but first thing starting are interested but first thing starting off what I want to do is kind of show off what I want to do is kind of show off what I want to do is kind of show this background tasks you can see right this background tasks you can see right this background tasks you can see right here I have a song playing a J Cole song here I have a song playing a J Cole song here I have a song playing a J Cole song I can filter through this album if I I can filter through this album if I I can filter through this album if I wanted to hit play and before to wanted to hit play and before to wanted to hit play and before to actually manage this I'm going to close actually manage this I'm going to close actually manage this I'm going to close this out and it's going to be running in this out and it's going to be running in this out and it's going to be running in the background so if I go over here this the background so if I go over here this the background so if I go over here this is how you would want to interact with is how you would want to interact with is how you would want to interact with it before it's still a wonderful way to it before it's still a wonderful way to it before it's still a wonderful way to interact but now if we go over here interact but now if we go over here interact but now if we go over here click on this we will have this option click on this we will have this option click on this we will have this option we have one background app running tap we have one background app running tap we have one background app running tap on this we can see what the background on this we can see what the background on this we can see what the background is and through here you can easily is and through here you can easily is and through here you can easily terminate these applications or if we go terminate these applications or if we go terminate these applications or if we go to the app settings here we can see the to the app settings here we can see the to the app settings here we can see the actual app settings of this through the actual app settings of this through the actual app settings of this through the default system settings page what you default system settings page what you default system settings page what you can see right here it says running can see right here it says running can see right here it says running background that's enabled thus giving us background that's enabled thus giving us background that's enabled thus giving us the ability to actually do that now a the ability to actually do that now a the ability to actually do that now a lot of apps are not going to support lot of apps are not going to support lot of apps are not going to support this out of the box I'm kind of playing this out of the box I'm kind of playing this out of the box I'm kind of playing around and seeing if anything else would around and seeing if anything else would around and seeing if anything else would work the one reason I knew that this

work the one reason I knew that this work the one reason I knew that this would work is because baby woke covered would work is because baby woke covered would work is because baby woke covered this in a video slightly more detailed this in a video slightly more detailed this in a video slightly more detailed than I did a link to that video will be than I did a link to that video will be than I did a link to that video will be down below if you are interested and down below if you are interested and down below if you are interested and another thing I'm not really going to be another thing I'm not really going to be another thing I'm not really going to be able to show because I'm in the virtual able to show because I'm in the virtual able to show because I'm in the virtual machine is right here there's usually a machine is right here there's usually a machine is right here there's usually a Bluetooth option and with this edition Bluetooth option and with this edition Bluetooth option and with this edition of gnome they've actually added some of gnome they've actually added some of gnome they've actually added some additional functionality including the additional functionality including the additional functionality including the ability to see all the devices that are ability to see all the devices that are ability to see all the devices that are connected and allow you to connect and connected and allow you to connect and connected and allow you to connect and disconnect those devices and with that disconnect those devices and with that disconnect those devices and with that what we're going to do is actually jump what we're going to do is actually jump what we're going to do is actually jump back into settings here so let's open back into settings here so let's open back into settings here so let's open that up there have been some panels that that up there have been some panels that that up there have been some panels that have been updated so if we go back in have been updated so if we go back in have been updated so if we go back in here first things first we're going to here first things first we're going to here first things first we're going to go into the accessibility settings which go into the accessibility settings which go into the accessibility settings which is right here there have been some is right here there have been some is right here there have been some additions which one of them if we go to additions which one of them if we go to additions which one of them if we go to hearing there has been a over amplica hearing there has been a over amplica hearing there has been a over amplica over amplification option allowing you over amplification option allowing you over amplification option allowing you to exceed the max recommended volume to exceed the max recommended volume to exceed the max recommended volume limit for your system if we go back limit for your system if we go back limit for your system if we go back under typing there's now an option for under typing there's now an option for under typing there's now an option for enable keyboard so you can access a lot enable keyboard so you can access a lot enable keyboard so you can access a lot of these features using the keyboard of these features using the keyboard of these features using the keyboard under pointing and clicking we now have under pointing and clicking we now have under pointing and clicking we now have a where is it if we go up to seeing here a where is it if we go up to seeing here a where is it if we go up to seeing here oh we crashed hold on like I said this oh we crashed hold on like I said this oh we crashed hold on like I said this is Fedora Rawhide it's not really the is Fedora Rawhide it's not really the is Fedora Rawhide it's not really the best thing to use for a production sake best thing to use for a production sake best thing to use for a production sake ultimately there has been a couple ultimately there has been a couple ultimately there has been a couple different things added under uh seeing different things added under uh seeing different things added under uh seeing there has been an option to make uh there has been an option to make uh there has been an option to make uh scroll bars always visible and there has scroll bars always visible and there has scroll bars always visible and there has been some additions for a blinking been some additions for a blinking been some additions for a blinking cursors which will be helpful if those cursors which will be helpful if those cursors which will be helpful if those are things you need if we go to sound are things you need if we go to sound are things you need if we go to sound there are some additions one for alert there are some additions one for alert there are some additions one for alert sound we can completely disable that

sound we can completely disable that sound we can completely disable that which is something I'm going to do sound which is something I'm going to do sound which is something I'm going to do sound test window has been redesigned and just test window has been redesigned and just test window has been redesigned and just some general improvements in Here and some general improvements in Here and some general improvements in Here and Now you kind of saw a little bit earlier Now you kind of saw a little bit earlier Now you kind of saw a little bit earlier but if we go under Mouse and the but if we go under Mouse and the but if we go under Mouse and the touchpad we can see some real nice touchpad we can see some real nice touchpad we can see some real nice updated animations here to kind of you updated animations here to kind of you updated animations here to kind of you an idea of what some of these settings an idea of what some of these settings an idea of what some of these settings are actually talking about so now there are actually talking about so now there are actually talking about so now there have been some improvements within the have been some improvements within the have been some improvements within the files application an example of this is files application an example of this is files application an example of this is if I go ahead and open up a new tab here if I go ahead and open up a new tab here if I go ahead and open up a new tab here so open in so open in so open in new tab and if I were to right click on new tab and if I were to right click on new tab and if I were to right click on this new tab I have the option to move this new tab I have the option to move this new tab I have the option to move the tab to a new window the grid view the tab to a new window the grid view the tab to a new window the grid view has been redesigned so if I go into that has been redesigned so if I go into that has been redesigned so if I go into that music folder that I was uh playing from music folder that I was uh playing from music folder that I was uh playing from go to J Cole go to an album open that up go to J Cole go to an album open that up go to J Cole go to an album open that up you can see that that looks a little bit you can see that that looks a little bit you can see that that looks a little bit different and we could change the view different and we could change the view different and we could change the view right here right here right here so this is the grid view here with that so this is the grid view here with that so this is the grid view here with that tab thing I was just talking about so tab thing I was just talking about so tab thing I was just talking about so let's go ahead and right click open it let's go ahead and right click open it let's go ahead and right click open it up in a new tab you can now drag things up in a new tab you can now drag things up in a new tab you can now drag things to a tab so if I wanted to drag this to a tab so if I wanted to drag this to a tab so if I wanted to drag this specific song into home that is specific song into home that is specific song into home that is something I would now be able to do and something I would now be able to do and something I would now be able to do and another thing with files worth another thing with files worth another thing with files worth mentioning is grid view is now available mentioning is grid view is now available mentioning is grid view is now available within the file picker if you're in within the file picker if you're in within the file picker if you're in another application using that and another application using that and another application using that and there's really more improvements Beyond there's really more improvements Beyond there's really more improvements Beyond this for example in the Wi-Fi you can this for example in the Wi-Fi you can this for example in the Wi-Fi you can connect via QR codes now under the about connect via QR codes now under the about connect via QR codes now under the about section there's going to be a lot more section there's going to be a lot more section there's going to be a lot more information Thunderbolt settings will information Thunderbolt settings will information Thunderbolt settings will only appear if you're actually using a only appear if you're actually using a only appear if you're actually using a thunderbolt device and now you can thunderbolt device and now you can thunderbolt device and now you can actually use or connect to wireguard

actually use or connect to wireguard actually use or connect to wireguard vpns within the network settings and vpns within the network settings and vpns within the network settings and these are just some of the improvements these are just some of the improvements these are just some of the improvements this is their official announcement I've this is their official announcement I've this is their official announcement I've covered a lot of this stuff in this but covered a lot of this stuff in this but covered a lot of this stuff in this but if you go ahead scroll down through this if you go ahead scroll down through this if you go ahead scroll down through this you'll get a lot more information you'll get a lot more information you'll get a lot more information including some of the other improvements including some of the other improvements including some of the other improvements but what I want to cover for the rest of but what I want to cover for the rest of but what I want to cover for the rest of this video is the new Circle members I this video is the new Circle members I this video is the new Circle members I I've actually done a whole video on kind I've actually done a whole video on kind I've actually done a whole video on kind of circles what it is and some of the of circles what it is and some of the of circles what it is and some of the really nice kind of gtk applications really nice kind of gtk applications really nice kind of gtk applications that are included in that and this right that are included in that and this right that are included in that and this right here is some of the new additions the here is some of the new additions the here is some of the new additions the first one here is a zap so if I go ahead first one here is a zap so if I go ahead first one here is a zap so if I go ahead and open this up it allows you to play and open this up it allows you to play and open this up it allows you to play sounds from a sound board now is this sounds from a sound board now is this sounds from a sound board now is this going to unfortunately it is not passing going to unfortunately it is not passing going to unfortunately it is not passing through to OBS that's okay you get the through to OBS that's okay you get the through to OBS that's okay you get the point if you click this you can select a point if you click this you can select a point if you click this you can select a file and add more and just make a whole file and add more and just make a whole file and add more and just make a whole sound board that you can use whether if sound board that you can use whether if sound board that you can use whether if you're streaming or really doing you're streaming or really doing you're streaming or really doing something you'd use it for I don't have something you'd use it for I don't have something you'd use it for I don't have one on hand one on hand one on hand yet but this application here will yet but this application here will yet but this application here will supposedly allow you to control and supposedly allow you to control and supposedly allow you to control and configure your Elgato stream decks from configure your Elgato stream decks from configure your Elgato stream decks from a GDK gnome application which is awesome a GDK gnome application which is awesome a GDK gnome application which is awesome emblem here is a cool one it allows you emblem here is a cool one it allows you emblem here is a cool one it allows you to generate kind of these uh symbolic to generate kind of these uh symbolic to generate kind of these uh symbolic icons so if I open this up real quick icons so if I open this up real quick icons so if I open this up real quick this right here is the actual this right here is the actual this right here is the actual application so I can pick colors application so I can pick colors application so I can pick colors gradients so if I wanted this for gradients so if I wanted this for gradients so if I wanted this for example to be a slightly lighter blue example to be a slightly lighter blue example to be a slightly lighter blue you can see how that looks I could pick you can see how that looks I could pick you can see how that looks I could pick if I want the icon to be Lighter dark if I want the icon to be Lighter dark if I want the icon to be Lighter dark circular square and then you can pick an circular square and then you can pick an circular square and then you can pick an SVG image to kind of drop in there it SVG image to kind of drop in there it SVG image to kind of drop in there it really if you're really if you're really if you're doing this in or something it kind

doing this in or something it kind doing this in or something it kind of uh speed lines the process a little of uh speed lines the process a little of uh speed lines the process a little bit for you if that's something you need bit for you if that's something you need bit for you if that's something you need and of course you could use a pngs as and of course you could use a pngs as and of course you could use a pngs as well I don't have any on my system so I well I don't have any on my system so I well I don't have any on my system so I can't really demo that this one's kind can't really demo that this one's kind can't really demo that this one's kind of silly it allows you to generate a of silly it allows you to generate a of silly it allows you to generate a placeholder text if you've ever like placeholder text if you've ever like placeholder text if you've ever like installed a website template and there's installed a website template and there's installed a website template and there's a bunch of gibberish kind of in the text a bunch of gibberish kind of in the text a bunch of gibberish kind of in the text Fields by default this lets you make Fields by default this lets you make Fields by default this lets you make that if you would like to workbench is a that if you would like to workbench is a that if you would like to workbench is a really cool one that is definitely really cool one that is definitely really cool one that is definitely beyond my pay grade but this allows you beyond my pay grade but this allows you beyond my pay grade but this allows you to code develop and preview gtk to code develop and preview gtk to code develop and preview gtk applications and you can see all the applications and you can see all the applications and you can see all the support real-time previews it has a support real-time previews it has a support real-time previews it has a library of examples so if you're library of examples so if you're library of examples so if you're interested in gtk programming at all interested in gtk programming at all interested in gtk programming at all this is something to definitely you kind this is something to definitely you kind this is something to definitely you kind of play around with and look into of play around with and look into of play around with and look into alternatively we have this guy right alternatively we have this guy right alternatively we have this guy right here this is a I'm way too American to be trying to say I'm way too American to be trying to say these things basically allows you to these things basically allows you to these things basically allows you to sort read and search through all your sort read and search through all your sort read and search through all your different uh Mega Comics or whatever you different uh Mega Comics or whatever you different uh Mega Comics or whatever you happen to be wanting to read again not happen to be wanting to read again not happen to be wanting to read again not that I'm ever really going to use but that I'm ever really going to use but that I'm ever really going to use but cool nonetheless I really like how cool nonetheless I really like how cool nonetheless I really like how integrated and how just together all integrated and how just together all integrated and how just together all these applications are within the gtk these applications are within the gtk these applications are within the gtk ecosystem it doesn't really feel like ecosystem it doesn't really feel like ecosystem it doesn't really feel like you're out for example if I drag in the you're out for example if I drag in the you're out for example if I drag in the Opera web browse you can see it just Opera web browse you can see it just Opera web browse you can see it just doesn't fit with what's going on in the doesn't fit with what's going on in the doesn't fit with what's going on in the system looks kind of weird and I'm going system looks kind of weird and I'm going system looks kind of weird and I'm going to be kind of experimenting with a gnome to be kind of experimenting with a gnome to be kind of experimenting with a gnome web and some of the new extension web and some of the new extension web and some of the new extension support and stuff like that in the support and stuff like that in the support and stuff like that in the future but in addition we have chess future but in addition we have chess future but in addition we have chess clock this is a very self-explanatory

clock this is a very self-explanatory clock this is a very self-explanatory kind of application simple easy to use kind of application simple easy to use kind of application simple easy to use if you've ever played chess properly if you've ever played chess properly if you've ever played chess properly anyways this is a chess clock anyways this is a chess clock anyways this is a chess clock application for you we have an application for you we have an application for you we have an eyedropper there's a ton of different eyedropper there's a ton of different eyedropper there's a ton of different eyedropper applications including some eyedropper applications including some eyedropper applications including some extensions which I personally prefer extensions which I personally prefer extensions which I personally prefer kind of integrated within the gnome kind of integrated within the gnome kind of integrated within the gnome shell but this one will give you pallets shell but this one will give you pallets shell but this one will give you pallets and some more options and things you and some more options and things you and some more options and things you could do with it beyond what some of the could do with it beyond what some of the could do with it beyond what some of the kind of extension color Pickers will kind of extension color Pickers will kind of extension color Pickers will allow so that's something I might kind allow so that's something I might kind allow so that's something I might kind of dive into in the near future at least of dive into in the near future at least of dive into in the near future at least for my personal use then right here we for my personal use then right here we for my personal use then right here we have elastic allowing you to design have elastic allowing you to design have elastic allowing you to design spring animations actually let's go spring animations actually let's go spring animations actually let's go ahead and download this one too real ahead and download this one too real ahead and download this one too real quick so there we go let's open it up quick so there we go let's open it up quick so there we go let's open it up here and there we go definitely a good here and there we go definitely a good here and there we go definitely a good looking application so with all the looking application so with all the looking application so with all the default settings if I go ahead and play default settings if I go ahead and play default settings if I go ahead and play this ah see that's cool and like if I this ah see that's cool and like if I this ah see that's cool and like if I lower the initial velocity whoa let's up lower the initial velocity whoa let's up lower the initial velocity whoa let's up the damping ratio up the mass a bit the damping ratio up the mass a bit the damping ratio up the mass a bit and decrease the stiffness to almost and decrease the stiffness to almost and decrease the stiffness to almost nothing nothing nothing so yeah animation and animation with so yeah animation and animation with so yeah animation and animation with programming is again another thing that programming is again another thing that programming is again another thing that is a beyond my skill set but we have is a beyond my skill set but we have is a beyond my skill set but we have various Snippets for rust C really various Snippets for rust C really various Snippets for rust C really whatever you need if you want to whatever you need if you want to whatever you need if you want to incorporate these types of animations incorporate these types of animations incorporate these types of animations within your applications and I'll reset within your applications and I'll reset within your applications and I'll reset that so now it's uh not as dramatic and that so now it's uh not as dramatic and that so now it's uh not as dramatic and then uh just kind of another silly one then uh just kind of another silly one then uh just kind of another silly one here we have a kind of a magic eight here we have a kind of a magic eight here we have a kind of a magic eight ball within our gtk interface randomly ball within our gtk interface randomly ball within our gtk interface randomly generated kind of uh yes or no's that we

generated kind of uh yes or no's that we generated kind of uh yes or no's that we get from this I'm not even really gonna get from this I'm not even really gonna get from this I'm not even really gonna try to say it kind of reorient so we are try to say it kind of reorient so we are try to say it kind of reorient so we are going to ask should you subscribe to the going to ask should you subscribe to the going to ask should you subscribe to the tech Hut YouTube channel you should most tech Hut YouTube channel you should most tech Hut YouTube channel you should most likely subscribe to the tech at YouTube likely subscribe to the tech at YouTube likely subscribe to the tech at YouTube channel because we upload all kinds of channel because we upload all kinds of channel because we upload all kinds of tech content whether that be Hardware tech content whether that be Hardware tech content whether that be Hardware reviews Linux focused content like this reviews Linux focused content like this reviews Linux focused content like this it's really a fun time and if you like it's really a fun time and if you like it's really a fun time and if you like to this video you'll probably like that to this video you'll probably like that to this video you'll probably like that video I did on some of the circle video I did on some of the circle video I did on some of the circle applications or if you're looking to applications or if you're looking to applications or if you're looking to install Fedor on your system check out install Fedor on your system check out install Fedor on your system check out my post install Fedora guide with all my post install Fedora guide with all my post install Fedora guide with all that I do hope you have an absolutely that I do hope you have an absolutely that I do hope you have an absolutely beautiful day
