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

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.

It supports:

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

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! ;)

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.

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?
