GNOME 43 bears the code name “Guadalajara”, in recognition of the work done by the organizers of GUADEC 2022.
This week, Project GNOME launched GNOME 43. Among its novelties we have, for example, the new quick settings or improvements in applications such as the new Nautilus with its adaptive design. But the development machinery does not stop, and this week they have published an article again in which they tell us about other news, among which new versions of applications or changes that are close to arriving usually predominate.
El this week's article in TWIG it has been titled forty-three, alluding to the arrival of GNOME 43. The post does not mention the news of the new version of the desktop, but we do follow the blog to find out about all the news that will arrive together with GNOME 44, scheduled for spring 2023.
