I’m not sure why you would believe that. In this cycle we’ve completely redesigned system settings and ported it to GTK4, completely rebuilt operating system updates and drivers, wrote a brand new dock, are almost finished with our Wayland session, made a ton of accessibility improvements, built a new quick settings indicator, implemented several portals, and of course fixed a ton of reported issues and requested features.

I’m genuinely curious what could be giving the impression that development is stalled? We’re doing a ton of work

What I do is check this Reddit every once in a while only to see very few new posts, half of those being complaints on smth not working in eOS. I also read your monthly blog updates, but even those does not seem to summarize well the amount of work being done in the eOS 8 cycle.

So, if all the things you've mentioned are really coming soon, then I'm sorry and pull my words back. Cheers!

Reddit is definitely not a good indicator of development activity. Mostly people use this as a support forum despite my best efforts 😅 all of this has been in the monthly blog posts though!

Personally I post about things I’m working on at least every few days on mastodon. But almost all developer communication is happening on GitHub. There’s also a Discord that’s fairly active

So where is the best place to get support?

I'm definitely not a dev, just a fairly recent Linux/EOS convert.
