This is the best summary I could come up with:

GNOME 46 is getting ready for release in March and as such the alpha release is being prepared to facilitate early testing of this in-development desktop environment.

GNOME 46 is all the more important with it appearing in the likes of Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and Fedora 40 this spring.

  • More profiling instrumentation has been added for helping to uncover performance bottlenecks.

  • Fixing a performance problem due to repeated signal leak.

  • Improved monitor on-screen display (OSD) labels.

The full list of GNOME Shell 46 Alpha changes can be found here.

Cool but when is GNOME gonna do fractional scaling without half the apps I use going blurry?

When half of the apps your're using start supporting wayland properly

I don't understand the downvotes.

This isn't only an app issue, it's the implementation in Mutter.

On KDE for example, I've set 150% fractional scaling, and all apps look sharp.

I was really hyped when the recent update introduced "proper" fractional scaling, and was bummed when I noticed it didn't work in many of my apps, especially Electron ones.

Any news on proper (baked-in) VRR support with Wayland?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
