GNOME 49 arrives this week, and it's packed with features and polish you'll love

GNOME is a Linux desktop environment that you either love or hate. I've used GNOME and GNOME-based desktops for years and have always fallen on the side of "love." With each new release, I always find a feature or two (or a bit of extra polish) that makes me smile. The release of GNOME 49 is no different. Although there might not be any game-changing features for this release (I'm guessing the developers are holding out until the big 5-0), there's just enough to make it a worthy upgrade from 48.
