They completely overhauled the "Activities" view or whatever it is called, including how virtual desktops are presented and also using new gestures for TouchPad for navigating all of this. The release also coincides with the release of gtk4 which is a major release. So no, I would not say that Gnome 40 is just a minor Gnome 3 release.

I have used Debian as my main and sole OS since 2007. I started in 1997 with RedHat and successively switched from RedHat to Mandrake, Peanut and finally Gentoo. I use KDE only.
I bought a new SSD in 2016, installed Debian unstable and have used aptitude update and aptitude safe upgrade a few times every month since then without any hiccups.
I think Debian is the best since penicillin.

Instead of calling it Gnome 4.0 they changed the numbering scheme to be similar to Chrome and Firefox. Would you have considered it to be a major release if they just added a "." between the 4 and the 0? 😊
Or what's your definition of a "new shell"?Last edited by tomas; 18 July 2021, 06:47 AM.

I really don't get all the fuss about gnome 40. The workspaces moved from the right to the top, and the taskbar moved from the left to the bottom. Big deal. And oh, you can organize your apps in a place you can name yourself. Like all Office apps in a office icon/whatever. So basically gnome removed the application menu that sorted programs by catagory, and now instead of having a menu in the first place you are left to make your own. They really care about the user!

The thing is, there is no need to manually go through an "application menu" to find what you're looking for. You just start typing either the name of the application you know exists or type a keyword associated with the type of application you're looking for. And automagically it just appears among the search results while you're typing. I know that Gnome receives a lot of hate for some unknown reason and sure, it's far from perfect, but this particular feature I find superior to other more traditional desktops.
