Not having to hit the alt key to suspend is my favorite thing about this release. Thanks Gnome devs!

Q: What did GNOME remove this time?

A: CPU usage, GPU usage, RAM usage, blocking I/O on main thread, a ton of bugs and most Wayland blockers.

Have fun.

Seperate lock screen wallpaper.

I'm not complaining, it was pointless and replaced by something better, but they did remove something

Still undecided, whether I keep using GNOME 3, or switch to Unity/Lomiri... Well, depends if Lomiri gets to the Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.

... Well, depends if Lomiri gets to the Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.

According to the previous phoronix article https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?pa...ntu-20.04-Year the developers suggest it may take a year (or more) for lomiri to be usable

No longer using CPU, GPU, or RAM? I had an AMD server that wouldn't post or boot like that one time. Never thought of making an entire desktop environment around waiting and hoping for a post beep or a line of text on the screen. This is very innovative stuff. It's the future of fanless, noiseless computer I'll bet you.

The new lock screen is very nice.

Q: What did GNOME remove this time?

True question is what did it add?

True question is what did it add?

The ability to disable USB support when the lockscreen is active.

Technically that's both adding and removing functionality.

That one cancels itself out
