![]() Hetzner hasn’t shared many details about what caused the incident, and neither its status page nor its social media channels have any relevant announcements. Whatever it was, it made the headlines over here on all computer-related websites. I am really interested to hear members thoughts on Gnome in general, its direction and upcoming Gnome 43 with all its improvements and full Wayland support. Fortunately there will always be a Fedora with Red Hat’s rich benefactors who have extremely deep pockets, namely IBM, so I don’t think Gnome is in any perilous danger. Since 2014 we have been hearing that the Gnome Foundation has run out of money and if we listened to the doomsayers, it would have been long gone by now. So I had enough confidence to write this is Epiphany, but I have to move back to Vivaldi, it’s bloated but at least it works. This is the most common message I keep getting… ![]() Even Epiphany’s developer is not sure he will meet the next release date deadline, so I won’t be switching to it any time soon. Install site as a web application is a neat trick, so I am sure all other browsers follow along soon enough. Ok, extension support is not due until September, but I have quiet confidence it will get there… eventually. So when I saw Epiphany getting an update today, I became even more curious, since I just finished reading the developer’s blog. Epiphany, as its lead developer still keeps calling it, after its is supposed to have been renamed to GNOME Web over 10 years ago, the Epiphany name still seems to stick, even as the package name. It’s a fairly ambitious list of enhancements you can read about GNOME 43 to Bring Support for Web Apps in Software, New Device Security Info Panelīut the bottom line is Epiphany is glitchy. ![]() Wayland came out of Xorg alumni, so they already knew its weaknesses and I think Wayland has a chance at becoming the dominant display manager in future.īut are we ready for GNOME 43? Not so fast… I will admit after reading the entire Wayland book, I was pretty keen to ditch Xorg, after learning about its sheer lack of security in the modern day.- I am not even sure it was ever secure enough, and even the few X11 developers that exist today, could continue to support it. No crashes, everything looks good and it seems to be a smoother experience. Today I received 42.3 and after some late night reading of the book on Wayland, btw, it’s a good read once you get past the technical jargon) I decided it’s worth another try. Gnome 42 has been more stable since I took some advice in here and selected Xorg on Gnome as display manager.
