Creator Mitchell Hashimoto believes critical infrastructure should be stewarded by mission-driven entities prioritizing public benefit. The structure enables transparent donation management while Hashimoto remains project lead with full decision authority. Nothing changes technically—Ghostty stays open source (MIT license) with the same roadmap. The move protects against future commercialization and ensures the project can outlive its creator. 124 6 2. 2 [](https://daily.dev/posts/ubuntu-26-04-will-look-more-like-vanilla-gnome-shell-mitdwknp1 "Ubuntu 26.04 Will Look More Like Vanilla GNOME Shell") Article omg! ubuntu! · 39w Ubuntu 26.04 Will Look More Like Vanilla GNOME Shell Ubuntu 26.04 LTS will adopt a new approach to theming GNOME Shell by using symlinks to point directly at default GNOME style files and applying overrides, rather than maintaining a separate custom stylesheet. This reduces maintenance burden for the Yaru theme team while keeping Ubuntu-specific elements like the Ubuntu font, panel sizing, and orange accent color. The change means Ubuntu will present GNOME Shell closer to upstream design intentions, with some visual elements like rounded corners and button spacing matching vanilla GNOME defaults. 62 1 3. 3 [](https://daily.dev/posts/make-gnome-app-grid-scroll-vertically-like-it-used-to--stayjla4t "Make GNOME App Grid Scroll Vertically (Like it Used to)") Article omg! ubuntu! · 37w Make GNOME App Grid Scroll Vertically (Like it Used to) A new GNOME Shell extension called Vertical App Grid restores vertical scrolling to the app grid, reversing the horizontal scrolling behavior introduced in GNOME 40\. The extension allows users to navigate app pages up and down instead of left and right, with customizable icon sizes and spacing. While drag-and-drop reordering and app folders aren't currently supported, it's particularly useful for portrait monitors or vertically-stacked multi-monitor setups. The extension requires GNOME 49 and works on Ubuntu 25.10 or similar distributions. 29 1 4. 4 [](https://daily.dev/posts/pinta-3-1-is-out-with-axonometric-grids-marching-ants-more-naduqzyzy "Pinta 3.1 is Out with Axonometric Grids, Marching Ants + More") Article omg! ubuntu! · 37w Pinta 3.1 is Out with Axonometric Grids, Marching Ants + More Pinta 3.1, an open-source image editor, introduces axonometric grids for isometric art, polygon selection mode in the Lasso tool, and animated marching ants for selection outlines. The gradient tool now features on-canvas handles for adjusting direction and length. Additional improvements include a new Cells effect, lower memory usage with the zoom tool, better layer context menus, and enhanced dithering options. The release is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux through various distribution channels including Snap and Flatpak. 22 [See all omg! ubuntu! archives](/sources/omgub/best-of) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"CollectionPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/sources/omgub/best-of/2025/12#page","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/omgub/best-of/2025/12","name":"Best omg! ubuntu!
