That sounds like a great visible improvement. Gnome is polished WM.

Does KDE/Plasma offer sthg. comparable?

KDE rolled that out in June last year [0]

IIRC, KDE has had triple buffering for quite a while now. GNOME is playing catchup here.

>comparable

KDE is way ahead in (almost) all departments these days.

No idea about stability on that scale, I don't do support. On my local machine both behaved about the same in the past.

KDE however is way ahead in fractional scaling, buffering etc. Not sure how to measure Wayland support. Do tell though.

>I'm so annoyed by the crowd recommending it.

Well, Gnome's fault. I've been on team Gnome until they've ruined it after Gnome 2 is ended. Can't really use it with more than one monitor these days too.

> . Even core features like bookmarks have barely improved in decades.

I agree. In the same time firefox' bookmarks are still better than what chrome or edge offer.

Firefox is an alternative, just saying.

Sounds like powerful UX others could also supports. Its all web stanards.

Tell us more about that

I have a USB floppy drive with a known good disk in it. Not sure if a regular 34-pin floppy would be any different. But blanked it, connected to Win 11, and rebooted. The drive seeked on startup, but otherwise it's still blank:

    dd if=/dev/rsd1c | hexdump -C

In lower Austria we would call this a "Burzen" -> Apfelburzen. But this is colloquial and somewhat outdated.

It's from https://de.wiktionary.org/wiki/Apfelbutzen

RCs are already shipping in Fedora.

No

Ypur lovalodel has littleore to do but stitch the already meaningzl pieces together.

The pre-step, chunking and semantic understanding is all that counts.
