This 9to5Linux articles covers the notable changes.
What does “experimental color management” mean? Is that HDR support?
Can anyone expand on that?
Yes, though it’s not exposed to the user yet.
I dropped gnome when they trashed the desktop for the new tablet like fad. Went to xfve, then mate, cinnamon, KDE… to me gnome with Compiz fusion was the pinnacle of desktops. I get why they wanted to start fresh, but it broke my perfect setup. I haven’t even bothered to look back since then, how did it evolve?
Its not for everyone, same as any other DE. I will say on portable devices it can be nice for staying out of the way.
Extensions are fairly easy to use too. Let’s you add and customize stuff. Honestly just spin up a fedora VM and see for yourself?
It’s nothing like the beloved gtk of old, but I don’t always agree with the hate.
It sure was not for me, the minimalist / efficient modern take they went for, was the antithesis of my thoughts process. Good for portable devices is probably true, that’s why I couldn’t stand it on a desktop, it felt like it was meant to take over Android on tablets. it was a huge change.
Gnome is great. I don’t really see how it’s tablet-like. It’s an extremely keyboard-focused desktop.
Ubuntu still ships desktop icons on gnome, ding is a pretty good extension for it
Quite a big release I would say. They said they fixed drag and drop between Wayland and Xwayland windows which is absolute fire if they did.
