  • That same logic could be applied for the save and discard button. Should there be a bigger gap between them lest somebody misclick and discard things instead of saving them¿? Atleast in the case where they accidentally click cancel instead of discard, they are not losing any data.

    Hell if this really about data safety, discard/don’t save should be the isolated button because it is the only destructive option


  • Here’s the thing: Apple’s design you’ll find that they carefully included an extra margin between the “Don’t Save” and “Cancel” buttons. This avoid accidental clicks on the wrong button so that people don’t lose their work when they just want to click “Cancel”.

    And gnome has those dialogs in a different colour to achieve easily noticable differentiation between the two options




  • Yeah. Scrolling(amount of scroll per turn of the scroll wheel/swipe on touchpad) has been intentionally slowed down. Another issue is when you scroll fast, the scrolling is stuttery because papers tries to render on the fly when scrolling. There is an open issue to discuss whether this should be the behaviour or not.

    But don’t worry too much. It was much slower a month ago and yet progress is being made at a great pace and hence I expect it to get better in the near future. Pablo Correa Gomez(the lead dev of Papers) is doing some great work.


  • Well for Firefox, the one getting updated is the native rpm version which is part of the standard Silverblue install while the one already updated is the flatpak version. The native version is just called ‘Firefox’ while the one from flatpak is called ‘Firefox Web Browser’ if I remember correctly. I have no idea why signal is showing up there. Maybe it is a bug.

    Also next time a system update is shown in GNOME software, check using rpm-ostree status to see if any updated image is staged. If yes, then you don’t have to bother with gnome software - when you shutdown or reboot, the update will automatically be applied.
