The latest version of the Linux desktop environment Gnome, version 44, brings many improvements and important changes. The Gnome development has maintained its momentum with the new version, delivering revised menus and structured dialogs that make it even more user-friendly. Although the changes may seem minor, they make a significant difference.
One of the most significant changes in Gnome 44 is the elimination of legacy dependencies, freeing up a lot of space. This has allowed for the implementation of a long-awaited feature, the new file selection dialog with preview. Only applications that have not yet been ported still require GTK3, as Gnome has exclusively shifted to the GTK4 version.
The GTK libraries provide widgets and interfaces for graphical programs, and one change is the implementation of a grid view in the file selection dialog. This change has been long-awaited, with users requesting this feature for almost 19 years. It is now available for applications that use GTK4.
Users also have the option of using only free software and tools if desired. The latest version of Gnome allows for fine-tuning of the surface, making it more customizable for each user. The improvements in the settings and file manager have also enhanced the user experience.
Overall, Gnome 44 is a significant and important update that will make the Linux desktop environment more user-friendly and efficient. The digital subscription for IT and technology, which includes exclusive tests, guides, and background information, is an excellent resource for staying up-to-date with the latest developments in Gnome and other technology-related fields.
