The GNOME Project Has Finally Released GNOME 3.26 — Download Here


The GNOME Project has finally released GNOME 3.26, which is the latest version of the most popular Linux desktop environment. After six months of development, this version, codenamed
Manchester, has been released. “We are happy and proud to announce GNOME 3.26, the latest major release of GNOME, “Manchester”, just a few weeks after we celebrated the 20th birthday of GNOME at GUADEC,” the release announcement said.
One of the major highlights of GNOME 3.26 release is a new look for the Settings app. It has got a new navigation sidebar, better network and display settings, and improved browser sync. Now, in GNOME 3.26, color emojis are thoroughly supported; you can insert them into chats, documents, and messages via different ways.
The other new GNOME 3.26 features are better system search and folder sharing in Boxes, improved Builder IDE, better JS experience with SpiderMonkey 52, etc.

Ambode’s Michael Jackson syndrome

GOVERNOR Akinwunmi Ambode’s urban renewal policy is fundamentally flawed. For one, it strives to recast a Nigerian city in Parisian or Washingtonian mold.
