The latest version of GNOME 3 has been released today. Version 3.34 contains six months of work by the GNOME community and includes many improvements, performance improvements and new features.
Highlights from this release include visual refreshes for a number of applications, including the desktop itself. The background selection settings also received a redesign, making it easier to select custom backgrounds.
They have a video highlighting the changes too.
What I like so much about XFCE is that it doesn’t change all the time. Gnome lost me when they went to mayor version 3 and told me how to work in a user-friendly way by limiting me.
gnome? anyone still using that ?
Yes definitively! Its a very capable desktop.
And a lot of the devs here use it as well. You know to do actual work.
Somehow it is cool among the self proclaimed experts to keep on bashing it, while praising DE’s that haven’t seen much change for a decade.
Bashing or not bashing. That is a kind of ball game I stear clear away from these days. I think I was bashing KDE, back in the Gnome 2.0 days. And I bashed Dos back in the Amiga vs. Dos days. I bashed MacOS back in the late WinXP days and I bashed WindowsME, back in the late Win2000 and early WinXP days. These days, every computer with any OS, seems to do anything that the other platform can do as well. Everything can do anything, if you look at it in a broad and square way. Only minor stuff one platform can not do, that the other platform will do. Like you can playback music and watch movies on just about anything. Yes. Even on an Amiga500 these days, you can playback movies and MP3 files. That is, if you get the correct upgrades, and they are not cheap. Yet it is possible.
Well… Someone is. Just not me.
I must say that it still looks way better than Windows10. However, I have seteled on Ubuntu Mate for some strange reason. It is not perfect though. Nothing is.
Nice! I will keep it in mind if I ever buy a tablet running GNU/Linux. Of course, I will keep using an adult environment such as KDE on my PC.
It works very well on a desktop. It is all about the keyboard shortcuts. I seriously have a hard time being productive in macOS or doing anything useful in Windows because of all the distractions there. Instead I have a ton of windows open, but can flip quickly get to the one I want by hitting the ‘windows’ key and then clicking on the one I want, or arrowing through. The desktop just stays out of my way otherwise. It is useable on the touch screen as well, but most applications are not, and let’s face it, applications is what we actually use…

So is a Concrete Slab,doesn’t mean I want to use one.
