[NEWS] Fedora 35 is out folks

For KDE, just use themes.

It turns out the version of graphene that Fedora 35 ships has the perf patch (ref: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/graphene/c/501dd9f22698c5ff64aaf34c0f5922ce5d694010?branch=rawhide)

However the performance is still sluggish compared to GNOME Shell 3.38

I would also add compared to Ubuntu which instead is almost perfect with the Gnome 40, nothing to do with Fedora. It seems incredible to me that despite graphene and patches installed, it hasn't changed one iota, it's slow and jerky as hell, just like the previous 34. Real crap really, I'm deeply disappointed by Fedora, but just a lot!
Friend TLE you never let me know anything about that talk about the Chromium springs ...

It's OSS so let's contribute patches to improve the perf

Regarding the Chromium, I am flat out with work atm, I hardly have time for OSS atm. I will spend some time this XMAS break to bring the version up to date

Perfect thanks, I'm waiting for your news and if you can teach me how to get the sources I will be deeply grateful, the Raptor procedure no longer works, I think because of the cursed Google block on Power ... Fedora for now I stopped using it, as soon as they fix it then I reassemble it, for now Ubuntu and a little Debian

The performance problem is indeed libgraphene again: the fix seems present in Fedora's sources but it doesn't stick. I rebuilt it and the performance regression is largely gone. Here's a binary for those who want it: https://github.com/ebassi/graphene/pull/233#issuecomment-979687134

Still other F34 regressions are still present. It basically works, though. https://www.talospace.com/2021/11/fedora-35-mini-review-on-blackbird-and.html

Great thanks. Your patched libgraphene really boost the performance many folds. It is still not snappy like GNOME 3.36 but now much more usable.
