During these days Gnome has been the most popular desktop in the Gnu / Linux world and not precisely because of its latest version, Gnome 3.24, but because it is the new (old) Ubuntu desktop.
It seems that now there are many users of the Gnu / Linux world who are delighted with Gnome and therefore its development is being the subject of multiple visits and contributions. This is why the next big version of this desktop seems more important than ever, even if it only seems.
As recently reported, next Monday 24 will begin to develop Gnome 3.26, the next big version of this desktop, going public on September 13th. This version will have some changes within its applications. One of them, perhaps the most striking of all, is the inclusion of an IDE within the desktop, an IDE that will allow you to create apps and functions for the desktop from the desktop. The resource management apps will also be modified, being replaced by another app that brings together the functions of various applications such as Gnome Disk or Gnome Monitor.
Gnome 3.26 will have its own IDE and a new password application
It also talks about the changes that Gnome Photos will receive as well as the improvement of the Remote Desktop application that allows you to control a computer remotely. Seahorse, the password app, finally looks like it will be superseded by another Gnome own application.
Gnome 3.26 will be released later this year so it seems that it will be the desktop of many famous distributions, including Ubuntu, so surely more than one user and developer will start to look at the development of this desktop with different eyes or so it seems. In any case, there are more desktops that use the GTK 3 libraries, although it must be recognized that they are not as complete as Gnome itself Do not you think?
What I don't like about Gnome is that it doesn't order the programs I have installed, you have to search for them by name: /
