## path to user xml definition of the background
~/.local/share/gnome-background-properties

## path to user backgrounds directory with xml definition for transitions
~/.local/share/backgrounds

# For all users

## path to system xml definition of the background
/usr/share/gnome-background-properties/

## path to system backgrounds directory with xml definition for transitions
/usr/share/backgrounds/Dynamic_Wallpapers/

g4music an open source music player for gnome

Since six years ago, I have been using youtube music (previously named Google Play Music), and each time I have felt the influence of the algorithm more and more when it shows me some recommendations, sometimes it was fine, but I really miss the simplicity to listen to my music without depend from the streaming service.

So then I have decided to use an offline music player and I choosed g4music, it is «a beautiful, fast, fluent, light weight music player written in GTK4» and I really like it.

I have been using it a lot the last few days and I remembered how I felt to manage and play my music library with no internet connection and it is really enjoyable.

It can be installed from flathub:

# Install

flatpak install flathub com.github.neithern.g4music

# Run

flatpak run com.github.neithern.g4music

Here are some features that I’ve noticed.
