What I really like about #GNOME46 is that it turned out to be a great release for old and low-end devices. One of my test devices is Thinkpad T400. That hardware is over 15 years old and actually got faster over the last few years - especially this release.
One of my favorite improvements here, headed by Christian Hergert, was the boost to VTE. Terminals using #gtk4 are now much faster and responsive. I mean, damn, even switching tabs doesn't trigger a full redraw!
There were also a bunch of improvements to screen casting, resulting in #GNOME46 being the first release where I can make fullscreen recordings on this device at reasonable speed. I can even play video during recording, as long as hardware decoding is used (only mpeg2 :P).
@rmader any hope to see that coming to oldish distros like Ubuntu 23.04? #Ubuntu #GNOME46
I'd rather keep running a supported distro on my @frameworkcomputer laptop but the new shiny is tempting :)
@fabrice @frameworkcomputer I'm afraid you'll have to wait for Ubuntu 24.04 - but that's just around the corner, no?
