The video reminded me of new cars owners manuals. Lots of time spent on entertainment and to me, mostly useless stuff.

It sparkles. Wow.

I built gnome 40.2 with Rafael Tavares's gfs tool a while back, but a little differently using the linux from scratch gnome build order and deps. Following that build cuts the build down from the ~300 packages with gfs down to around ~90. I've been meaning to get to updating it to gnome 41, since that was the latest gnome version that was released when slackware 15.0 released. Gnome 42 was just released last week and needed some newer libraries than slackware 15.0, which was released in feb. Current might be easier to build gnome 42 on.

I've been running gnome on my laptop as a test drive after using plasma 5 for a long while. It needs a bit of gnome-extenstion work to get the minimize button, application menu, and some other basic functionalities back but it's running alright on Slackware so far (other than gdm, but sddm works fine).

Cheers

I mentioned Rafael Tavares Lacerda on my gitlab.

The most things work how they should. But, to switch from the light mode to the dark mode doesn’t work.

I still continue to search for the cause of error......

@lancsuk I installed on Slackware 15.0 stable version binaries from @fulalas and work perfect.
Your gitlab for gnome 42 is only for current and when I installed it on a old imac with Slackware stable installation + Gnome 42, everything broke except KDE (KDE rocks)
I made then clean installation of current on that imac for testings... But I have a small problem with wifi BCM 4321, none of the official Slackbuilds scripts working...because are olds. I m trying recompile kernel 5.17.1 maybe I am lucky and fix it. But its a core2duo and I need some hours for finish the job, already 2,5 hours past and still compiling kernel.(lol)
Then I will install your gnome binaries and see what happens...
Try to think what you patched on @fulalas scripts first.

excuse me, is this for gnome 42 or 41.5?

Gnome 41.5 / Stable 15.0
Gnome 41.5 / Current
Gnome 42.0 / Current
By the way, the dark & light mode issue is fixed and the scripts are uptodate.

Added / Updated
xdg-desktop-portal-gtk-1.14.0

Binaries are online shortly.
