There are greater than 600 members within the Linux Mint house already, and greater than 2400 in the primary channel.

GTK, libAdwaita, Adwaita, Xapp
The issues voiced final month about GTK, Adwaita and libAdwaita have been heard.
They have been heard by many tasks, together with upstream apps, desktop environments and distributions.
They led to many discussions with an enormous variety of builders concerned.
I need to stress the truth that a few of these discussions contain GNOME builders and are very constructive.
Though no massive choices or options emerged but there’s a common consensus on the problems of cross-DE compatibility and independence from the GNOME undertaking. There’s additionally consensus on the concept of working collectively on widespread applied sciences.
