  • Introducing Settings (or, the new Control Center)

    Greetings my friends, if you’re following the GNOME development closely, you’re now more than aware of this movement of reworking GNOME Control Center. It was a remarkably colossal work, specially because we used a bottom-up approach: fix the panels, then switch to the new shell. With the release of GNOME 3.25.91, I’m proud to say:…
