GNOME Builder IDE Adds Arduino Integration, New Remote Desktop Software For VMs

Written by Michael Larabel in GNOME on 28 March 2025 at 08:38 PM EDT. 7 Comments
While fresh off the GNOME 48 release, GNOME desktop developers aren't slowing down and there's been some interesting activity to report this week.

This Week In GNOME is out with its latest issue to highlight interesting developments for the week on GNOME proper and related projects aligned with GNOME. While no major GNOME core features this week, there's been some interesting related developments.

First up, the GNOME Builder integrated development environment has merged support for Arduino with GNOME Builder. For systems having arduino-cli present, it's now possible to compile and upload sketches to Arduino-compatible boards. Arduino, of course, being the popular open-source hardware/software project for microcontrollers with electronics prototyping and other purposes.

Interesting work by developer "Nokse" for making the GNOME Builder IDE even more useful.

Another interesting GNOME development for the week is the launch of the third-party Field Monitor program. Field Monitor is a remote desktop client built around accessing virtual machines (VMs). Field Monitor currently caters to Proxmox and QEMU/KVM use-cases but can also connect to other SPICE / RDP / VNC implementations. Field Monitor builds off the RDW remote desktop widgets for GTK4.

Other interesting GNOME program work for the week can be found via This Week In GNOME.
