Seems like a solid bunch of iterative improvements!
So weird randomly seeing the name of my home city.
You live in the city of “Introducing?”
That’s pretty cool.

I recently installed Debian with Gnome on a laptop, and the UI is miles and miles better than what it was ~7 years ago. It used to feel old and like a knockoff of Windows XP or something. Now I only want to use Gnome on Linux. Huge credit to the Gnome team for all of these UI improvements they’ve been making, it’s a serious amount of work gone into things.
This looks like an amazing update.
My Arch laptop running 44 always feels so much better than my Ubuntu [work] laptop.
Ubuntu using Snaps might be more of an issue than Gnome 44 vs older version. Not?
Not really. Ubuntu uses a much older build of gnome with customizations baked in whereas arch is just regular gnome.
Also just because Ubuntu loves snaps doesn’t mean you have to install them. My work laptop is snap free
When can we (if ever) expect that auto-tiling thingy?
There’s no timeline or roadmap at this stage, but it’s definitely 46+ material and likely to take multiple cycles. There are individual parts of this that could be worked on independently ahead of the more contingent pieces, for example tiling groups or new window metadata. Help in any of these areas would be appreciated.

FRACTIONAL SCALING!!! FINALLY!!!
Huh? Gnome has had fractional scaling for ages.
All it takes is changing a gconf setting.
The option was there, but it wasn’t ready for every day use. The performance impact was significant. The couple times I tried it, it was practically unusable. The UI also showed a warning about performance when you enabled it
/shrug
I’ve been using it on my multiple monitor setup for well over a year with no noticeable performance impact.
Not officially. And it has been broken.
It’s been working flawlessly for me for quite some time, but I guess other people’s mileage may vary.
So fractional scaling is useful now? Or it’s still blurry mess?
