GNOME 3.32 will launch in March with, possibly, novelties of all kinds, as it happens with each new major version of the desktop environment. When we arrive we will see it, but we can tell you that above any fascinating feature, we are working on polishing one of the most criticized aspects of the project, and we are not talking about that user experience that some embrace and many reject.
We speak, you know very well, the efficiency and optimization of GNOME Shell , the component that serves as a pure and hard desk and that due to design errors is perceived as inefficient and poorly optimized , worth the redundancy. It is not about correcting specific failures, however infamous ; or simply improving its performance, for which the developers of the project have been putting effort ; but something that affects the very guts of the desk.
Components such as JS/UI or GJS, related to the use of JavaScript in GNOME Shell , are the most sensitive elements in this equation, those that have presented the most limitations and those that have generated the most problems, which are difficult to resolve. But there is nothing impossible in these software worlds and in recent weeks there have been interesting steps in favor of optimizing the environment.
In the penultimate report published each week by Canonical developers, they already offered a good list of optimizations aimed at improving the performance and management of desktop resources, some of which will be transferred to the current versions of Ubuntu LTS, which is great news for its users.
Today, the one in charge of giving more good news has been one of the developers of Endless OS , which allows them to work on these issues and, supported by other components created by the GNOME project to address the problems described, shows considerable progress in the same address : with outstanding optimizations that, like the previous ones, will be able to start enjoying from the release of GNOME 3.32.
The substance of the matter is purely technical and that is why we do not enter. To know more, all the sources included in this article. In any case, GNOME has overcome the obstacles that are presented and this seems the following. This 2019 is going to be very important for the project.
