The GNOME 42 release which is due on next year is going to be much bigger than the Forty series. The changes are significant in terms of the future of GNOME as a desktop. Changes are spread across GNOME Shell, Mutter, native applications and core libraries.
The code for GNOME 42 is under heavy development, many merge requests are pending, features are under discussion. So, many outstanding merge requests may not make to the final release. With that in mind, here’s a summary of the important features of GNOME 42.
GNOME 42 Schedule
GNOME 42 releases on March 23, 2022. Before that, several milestones are to be met. Here’s a tentative schedule.
Alpha: January 8, 2022
Beta (UI Freeze): February 12, 2022
Release Candidate (Code Freeze): March 5, 2022
Final Release: March 23, 2022
Download and Test
If you want to try GNOME 42, you don’t have much option now, unless you compile from source. If you want to contribute, you can go ahead and compile. But it is very unstable at the moment.
I tried to compile multiple times in Fedora Rawhide for this write-up, but Mutter and GNOME Shell are very unstable. It did not run and crashing multiple times after a successful compilation, when restarted the shell. Maybe, I will try after a couple of weeks from now, hoping the shell would be a little more stable.
If you want to try the standalone apps only (not the Shell and Mutter), then you can download GNOME OS Nightly . But it contains very few 42 version of the apps.
Download GNOME OS
Also, the best way to check out the 42 version of the apps are to install Fedora Rawhide. Then, from the terminal, install the available GNOME Nightly Flatpak applications. A set of sample commands present below for your reference.
If you managed to test, make sure to report the bugs/crashes/opinions in Gitlab for developers to review and fix.
Sample Commands to setup GNOME Nightly
Setup GNOME Nightly Flatpak repo
flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists gnome-nightly https://nightly.gnome.org/gnome-nightly.flatpakrepo
List out the available nightly apps
flatpak remote-ls --app gnome-nightly
Install a nightly app (example Adwaita Demo) from above list
flatpak install gnome-nightly org.gnome.Adwaita1.Demo
Run a nightly app (example TextEditor)
flatpak run org.gnome.Adwaita1.Demo//master
Availability in Linux Distributions
GNOME 42 is expected to be featured in Ubuntu 22.04 LTS Jammy Jellyfish in 2022 and in fedora 36 due in 2022.
Final Notes
GNOME 42 is shaping up to be another huge release of GNOME History. I personally think, it’s going to be bigger than GNOME 40. The libadwaita port was a long due, and it’s going to be completed, well almost. Such an impactful release from the GNOME team, and definitely would be well accepted across its user base.
So, what do you think about this release and GNOME 42 feature? Anything you were expecting as a feature? Let me know in the comment box below.
