@bragefuglseth Wait ... I want to make sure I understand ... that means you can install GNOME 47 on any distribution that handle Flatpak ?
@danslerush App developers can already update their apps to the latest version of GNOME's libraries, which means that you can get access to some of the new platform goodies (e.g. improved GTK rendering) on your current GNOME version.
@bragefuglseth Okay okay, I got a little excited and I understand the nuance ... my apologies for that dumb question (I just have this silly "dream" to put the latest official GNOME on a basic and minimalist Debian
)
@danslerush This sounds like what you want, although it probably isn't stable:

@bragefuglseth @danslerush what is bundled in there? Libadwaita i would think...
@twojays @danslerush libadwaita, GTK4, Vala, and various other GNOME libraries
@bragefuglseth @twojays @danslerush actually Vala is only in the SDK, not the platform. Though they always release together at the same time, as the platform is a reduced version of the SDK without developer tools.
And vala code doesn't need any special runtime components, so it's only in the SDK.
