Nice. I always go back to Gnome for abit on a new release, it's fun to see what has changed. But I'm usually using Plasma now.

yeah, the new Plasma is hard to beat. I want to like Gnome.. I just see no compelling features, really.
Send weird for it to be named with a k
- VRR is finally in but experimental, and will need to refactor the explicit sync codebase when that's merged in....so we're 4 years away from usable?
- Fractional scaling still experimental, after 4 years, so terrible experience for people with 4K displays
- Still no UI menu to alphabetize apps automatically
- Still no proper kstatusnotifier solution, so people will still install that extension
- Still no auto-hide for Dash, back to using dash-to-dock
- Breakage for extensions AGAIN
Garbage project by garbage devs, backed by a garbage corporate sponsor (IBM). Expect a garbage experience, thanks for nothing Guh-nome. Thank goodness for KDE and the Plasma project, which has UI solutions for all of the above and much MUCH more to make a cohesive well functioning DE with sane UX.
