A First Look at GNOME 40
GNOME 40: one of the most popular Linux desktop environments just got better
GNOME has taken a huge leap. The current version of GNOME is 3.38 and instead of releasing GNOME 4.0. GNOME has decided to name the newest version: GNOME 40. All I can say is: what a leap!
When the software version naming changes so drastically as it has with GNOME, it is usually a sign of a significant shift from the normal, GNOME 40 is no exception.
This article takes a look at some of the major GUI adjustments that have been introduced in GNOME 40.
The Dock
The most notable GUI change that you are greeted with is that the dock is now centered at the bottom by default. It is super clean and looks really nice.
Workspaces
The latest updates to GNOME are meant to provide a smooth user experience but also to enhance focus on the task at hand.
Workspaces are now arranged horizontally unlike in previous versions of GNOME where they were stacked vertically.
