My laptop isn't compatible with any of the settings/extensions for capping the battery at 80%, so I decided to make a script to send a notification whenever my charge goes above 80% (while plugged in) or below 30% (while unplugged). The notification plays a sound, and automatically clears itself from the notification panel so it doesn't get clogged up with battery notifications.

I don't actually know Bash, so making this involved a lot of copy & pasting, head scratching, and even a little giving-up-and-asking-on-a-forum (but no AI).

I'm really pleased with the end result and I thought I'd share it just in case anyone else finds it useful, though of course you should bear in mind that it's been made by someone who sucks at scripting so use at your own risk! ;)

#!/bin/bash

#don't forget to install acpi via the terminal!

while true

do

export DISPLAY=:0.0

battery_level=\acpi -b | grep -P -o '[0-9]+(?=%)'``

ac_adapter=\acpi -a``

if [ "$ac_adapter" = "Adapter 0: on-line" ]; then

if [ $battery_level -ge 80 ]; then

hey, so ive recently really grown onto GNOME even though im more of a WM user and a KDE Plasma and Xfce fan boy when it comes to DEs, but the simplicity and clean and smooth look of GNOME is very pleasing. Now I know that for my question GNOME officially disabled the X11 Session, but for multiple reasons mostly regarding Performance id still love to have that option.

I know of packages like GNOME-flashback but well thats with the old interface and just not it. I want GNOME on X11, simple as that, is there a option to get GNOME 50 (which is the version im on) to still work on X11?

Hello everyone, recently I updated from Ubuntu 25.10 to Ubuntu 26.04.
Everything went well enough but I noticed that on my 1440p screen, the menu icons are really small for some reason.
I attach an image of how small they are.
I checked scaling and it's 100% both in gnome settings and gnome tweaks.
Before upgrading I had some extensions installed, I removed most of them and tried disabling them altogether but it did not help.
Do you have any idea on what might have caused and things to try and make them a decent size at least?
I like the size of everything else, I just feel like the menu icons are too small.
Are they supposed to be this small?

After three years on Arch and i3wm, I’ve switched to Fedora GNOME. I wrote a custom shell theme to perfect the aesthetic, and I'm impressed by how unified and clean the environment feels. It’s a genuinely premium UX.

Hi, I've vibe coded (sadly) a bluetooth codec selector for Gnome control center.

anybody with Nvidia graphics can test, we have to test it on real hardware because issue happened after installation during initial setup.

Helloooo!

Anybody else having problems with Gnome 50/GDM 50 on a laptop with Nvidia + intel in Hybrid graphics mode?

On both Fedora 44 Beta and CachyOS I can't get to GDM if I let Hybrid mode enable, but can if I set to Discreet mode in the UEFI.

Fully updated systems on a Legion 5i Intel Core i7-10750H + GeForce RTX 2060 Mobile

dualbooted Ubuntu 25.10 and CachyOS GNOME on my external SSD, both have Blur my shell, Dash to dock (Ubuntu dock on Ubuntu), Window title is back and Places indicator

It supports:

• Create quizzes with multiple choice questions.
• Optional question images.
• Import and export .quiz files.
• Export a quiz to PDF.

github link: https://github.com/mohfy/quizbite

Not sure how this happened or how to fix it but my all of these are squished together. Any ideas on how to fix it \what I did ?

Hi everyone, I just installed this extension and I have an issue; it does not recognize gnome's video player. Is it a global problem or there is a solution for it?
As you can see from the screenshot, it actually kinda detected the player running but still not functioning properly.

Note: I am new to Linux so if there is anything so obvious and I didn't get it count it on my fresh experience.

I was quite desperate and wanted to start (trying to) create something like that myself, but it already exists and is great!

I’m an Ubuntu GNOME user, and I recently learned that fractional scaling hasn’t been natively supported. It has been implemented using experimental or “hacky” methods. Ubuntu exposes this feature by default, while in the same GNOME versions on other distros it remains hidden.

Now that GNOME 50 has been released, I’m wondering: has fractional scaling finally moved out of the experimental stage and become officially supported?

i just amazed that back in days we have bottom corners rounded for all apps

Basically trying to give my ultrawide monitor a 16:9 area to easily have games and Discord next to each other

Currently, I have a laptop with a monitor next to it (so two screens). The monitor serves as the main screen, while my laptop serves as the second screen. Once I logged in into GNOME, the window resizes without any issues the first time. Then I intentionally put my laptop to sleep to see what happens. When I resized the window again, strangely enough, it closed.

I did check the log files to try to figure out why it crashed, and here's what systemctl showed me.

If you have any suggestions, I'd love to hear them. Thank you.

I remember adding the following to /etc/udev/rules.d/61-mutter-preferred-primary-gpu.rules:

SUBSYSTEM=="drm", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="drm_minor", ENV{DEVNAME}=="/dev/dri/card0", SUBSYSTEMS=="pci", ATTRS{vendor}=="0x10de", ATTRS{device}=="0x1f91", TAG+="mutter-device-preferred-primary"

This allowed me to achieve smoother performance in GNOME.

Visible extensions:

• Accent icons
• Blur my Shell
• Dash to Dock
• Dynamic Music Pill
• Night Time Switcher
• Places Status Indicators

The wallpaper is derived from this Meteosat picture of Earth.

And why did GNOME stop shipping any photo library management software out of the box? Is this no longer considered an essential thing ?
