Uhh depends on your rig I guess. I build the various emulators from git and some of them like vita3k can take awhile.
But for me its more about being able to leave the update unattended, knowing that when I come back they will all be done and I can close the terminal window.
You have to set the WLBR_IS_GIMP env variable to get the new name. So I guess that might be what they going for, at least for now?
I get what you are saying but IMO the old name was hurting adoption. Imagine the headlines if say some city or government announced they are moving to GIMP from photoshop or affinity.
libadwaita demo runs on android now, and apk files can be grabbed from CI
Thats big! I didn't know gtk had android support. For an alpha, the demo worked really well in my testing. I have used KDE apps on Android before but for some reason they are laggy and design wise dont fit in as well as libadwaita.
Its sad that Ubuntu fell off due to their weird snaps push. I was okay with just ignoring snaps until Ubuntu decided it would be cool to install the snap package if its available, when the user explicitly requested the apt version. Like if you do sudo apt install firefox it installs the snap, which is a huge download and really caught me off guard the first time it happened. These kind of dark patterns were the whole reason I moved from Windows (I ve been using Linux since before Copilot).
This is on top of the snap store being essentially proprietary and, in my opinion, generally worse than flatpaks.
Mutter merged an implementation of this protocol a few weeks ago: gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/5071.
