GNOME 43 released

Version 43 of the GNOME desktop environment has been released; see the release notes for details.

This latest GNOME release comes with improvements across the board, ranging from a new quick settings menu, a redesigned Files app, and hardware security integration. GNOME 43 continues the trend of GNOME apps migrating from GTK 3 to GTK 4, and includes many other smaller enhancements.

The GNOME Project is proud to announce the release of GNOME 43,
‘Guadalajara’.

This release brings a completely redesigned system settings menu which
allows quickly changing common settings, including switching between Light
and Dark mode. The new Device Security page provides information about the
security of your physical hardware and firmware. Many of the core
applications
have been ported to GTK4 and libadwaita and received improvements in the
process,
such as Files, Maps, Builder and many others.

To learn more about the changes in GNOME 43, you can read the release
notes.

GNOME 43 will be available shortly in many distributions, such as Fedora 37
and Ubuntu 22.10. If you want to try it today, you can look for their beta
releases, which will be available very soon:

  https://www.gnome.org/getting-gnome/

We are also providing our own installer images for debugging and testing
features. These images are meant for installation in a vm and require
GNOME Boxes with UEFI support. We suggest getting Boxes from Flathub.

  https://os.gnome.org/

If you are interested in building applications for GNOME 43, look for the
GNOME 43 Flatpak SDK, which is available in the www.flathub.org repository.

This six-month effort wouldn't have been possible without the whole GNOME
community, made of contributors and friends from all around the world:
developers, designers, documentation writers, usability and accessibility
specialists, translators, maintainers, students, system administrators,
companies, artists, testers, the local GUADEC team in Guadalajara,
and last, but not least, our users.

GNOME would not exist without all of you. Thank you to everyone!

We hope to see some of you at GNOME Asia 2022 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia!

Our next release, GNOME 44, is planned for March 2023. Until then,
enjoy GNOME 43.

❤️ The GNOME release team

some issues you might encounter:

evolution crashes when composing or replying: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/-/issues/2037
gnome-shell/gdm crashes when gst-vaapi is installed: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/5710
directories very slow to load: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/-/issues/2498
virt-manager can't grab keys: https://github.com/virt-manager/virt-manager/issues/435

otherwise, does feel a bit snappier and audio output chooser is nice

I like how GNOME reduces the amount of features, but geeze, that is rediculous. People are not stupid, they know that files take space. They tend to "tidy-up" browser tabs and trash when the computer does not benifit from that, but still, an actual low-disk-space situation is one that a user needs to resolve sometimes...

It was *moved*, not removed.

This is a *profound* ignorance of spatial memory and lack of understanding of how normal people use computers.
