please stop making new gnu/linux distributions if you are not adding new distinguishing features. packaging some specific softwares together doesn't make it "different".

contribute to other projects, so make the list of choices less confusing for people.

We have too many distros.
Let's concentrate our efforts and make ~20 distros great, and different. The same goes for apps. Choice is good, but if there is no choice, or just one, then it's an issue for the user.

GTK4's GPU-accelerated GL renderer(s) got a major performance boost in the last few days! Previously it struggled to render simple UIs with single digit FPS on the Librem 5; now it can get pretty fancy :) #librem5 #gnome #gnomeonmobile #gtk
