Note to self: the Dash to Dock GNOME extension is pretty handy when using 2k/3k/4k monitors. My list of installed extensions is now:
- AppIndicator and KStatusNotifierItem Support
- Caffeine
- Clipboard Indicator
- Smile - complementary extension
- TopHat
- Transparent Top Bar (Adjustable transparency)
- Freon
- Dash to Dock

After more than a year of using Fedora, I've moved my systems back to Debian. I've been super happy with GNOME 48 on Fedora, but now it's available with Debian stable I'm happy to move to back. I learnt a lot about Fedora in the past year and it's a fantastic distro, but it feels good to be back using Debian.
I spend a lot of time sitting in front of my laptop, but not as much as GNOME would lead you to believe.
Daily driver (Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 3) upgraded to Fedora 42. No issues to speak of. I love that I can do a release upgrade and then just get on with my day. Perfect.
Upgraded my secondary machine to Fedora 42. The upgrade was quick and error free. Will do my daily driver next, after I run a few backup routines.
I did not upgrade to Fedora 42 on release day. Maybe tomorrow?
Fedora 42 is due for release tomorrow and I’m tempted to upgrade, but 41 is currently rock solid for me, so I’ll probably wait a while before upgrading. Or maybe not.
The GNOME extensions site/service has been sluggish to the point of unuseable for me lately. It's behaving like a site under heavy load, although I have no data to back that up.
Taking a look at the current state of Debian testing. I've installed it on my old MacBook Pro and it's working nicely. It looks like Debian Trixie is going to be a really nice release.
Playing around with my old ThinkPad X220 tonight. This thing is over 10 years old and runs Debian 12 (GNOME) just fine. Also, I forgot just how good the keyboard is on this thing, it's amazing!
