As the title, this is a spin-off of my last post in which I’ll talk about on Files list view instead of grid view. But before that, a brief summary of what happened in-between.

Porting Files to GTK 4 has been helping me learn and appreciate even more the legacy of the nautilus software package. Its two-decades-long history is closely entangled with the history of the GNOME project. As I prepare to merge the removal of more than 20 thousand lines of code, I’ve decided to stop and pay …

My first… This summer I’ve had my first travel by plane, which has been my first trip to Greece, where I’ve had my first in-person meeting with fellow GNOME contributors, by attending my first GUADEC. These were but some of my “first”-type achievements which made me very glad to have attended it, and happy to …
This is a deviation from the default “Hello World” title, not the name of a breakfast TV show. Hi. I’m António Fernandes and this is my newly-created GNOME blog. This is a belated debut, as I’ve been a foundation member for two years already. I’m doing it now thanks to GUADEC (the topic of the …
