现在 GNOME 41 稳定版终于发布了。


虽然 GNOME 40 带来了不少激进的改变，让许多用户不得不去适应新的工作流程，但 GNOME 41 似乎避免了这个问题。


在 GNOME 41 中没有明显的工作流程变化，但有增加了新的功能，做了全面的改进。


GNOME 41 的测试版已经发布了一段时间了。而且，为了发现它值得关注的地方，我们在发布前就使用 [GNOME OS](https://itsfoss.com/gnome-os/) 试用了它的稳定版。


### GNOME 41 有什么新功能？


GNOME 41 并没有给你带来任何新的视觉感受，但是一些有用的改进可以帮助你改善或控制工作流程。


此外，还升级了一些 GNOME 应用程序。


让我提一下 GNOME 41 的主要亮点。


#### GNOME 41 软件的上下文板块


![](/data/attachment/album/202109/24/130803rrybu5tb1uudb2f8.png)


每个版本中，用户都期待着对 GNOME “<ruby> 软件 <rt>  Software </rt></ruby>”的改进。


虽然他们一直在朝着正确的方向改进它，但它需要一次视觉上的重新打造。而且，这一次，GNOME 41 带来了急需的 UI 更新。


软件商店的描述性更强了，看起来应该对新用户有吸引力。它使用表情符号/创意图标来对应用程序进行分类，使软件中心变得更时尚。


就像 [Apps for GNOME](https://news.itsfoss.com/apps-for-gnome-portal/) 门户网站一样，“软件”的应用程序屏幕包括了更多的细节，以尽可能地告知用户，而不需要参考项目页面或其网站。


![](/data/attachment/album/202109/24/130804b6fx1kf6jk33esfx.png)


换句话说，这些添加到应用程序页面的上下文板块，提供了有关设备支持、安全/许可、年龄等级、下载的大小、项目等信息。


你还可以为某些应用程序（如 GIMP）选择可用的附加组件，以便一次都安装上。这样你就可以节省寻找附加组件和单独安装它们的时间了。


事实证明，GNOME 41 “软件”比以前更有好用了。


#### 新的多任务选项


![](/data/attachment/album/202109/24/130805ck784ezlts9tknxw.png)


GNOME 41 打造了新的多任务设置以帮助你改善工作流程。


你可以通过切换热角来快速打开“<ruby> 活动概览 <rt>  Activities Overview </rt></ruby>”。还添加了一个拖动窗口到边缘时调整其大小的能力。


根据你的需求，你可以设置一个固定的可用工作空间的数量，当然也可以保持动态数量。


除此以外，你还可以调整这些功能：


* 多显示器工作区
* 应用程序切换行为


当你有多个显示器时，你可以选择将工作空间限制在一个屏幕上，或在连接的显示器上连续显示。


而且，当你在切换应用程序并浏览它们时，你可以自定义只在同一工作区或在所有工作区预览应用程序。


#### 节电设置


![](/data/attachment/album/202109/24/130806awsibbzi5gwwzos3.png)


在 GNOME 41 中，现在有一个有效节省电力的性能调整。这对于笔记本用户手动调整其性能，或者当一个应用程序要求切换模式以节省电力时，是非常有用的。


![](/data/attachment/album/202109/24/130807fgn34d48ijq3sjh2.png)


#### GNOME “日历”的改进


GNOME “<ruby> 日历 <rt>  Calendar </rt></ruby>”现在可以打开 ICS 文件及导入活动。


#### 触摸板手势


无缝的工作流程的体验：可以利用三指垂直向上/向下滑动的动作来获得“活动概览”，以及利用三指水平向右/向左滑动的动作在工作空间之间导航。


很高兴看到他们重点放在改善使用触摸板的工作流程上，这类似于 [elementary OS 6 的功能](https://news.itsfoss.com/elementary-os-6-features/)。


#### GNOME 连接应用


![](/data/attachment/album/202109/24/130808klsttl6ltg6lnn6l.png)


添加了一个新的“<ruby> 连接 <rt>  Connections </rt></ruby>”应用程序，可以连接到远程计算机，不管是什么平台。


我看到这个应用程序仍然是一个 alpha 版本，但也许随着接下来的几次更新，就会看到这个应用程序的完成版本。


我还没有试过它是否可以工作，但也许值得再写一篇简短的文章来告诉你如何使用它。


#### SIP/VoIP 支持


在 [GNOME 41 测试版](https://news.itsfoss.com/gnome-41-beta/) 中，我发现了对 SIP/VoIP 的支持。


如果你是一个商业用户或者经常打国际电话，你现在可以直接从 GNOME 41 的拨号盘上拨打 VoIP 电话了。


不幸的是，在使用带有 GNOME 41 稳定版的 GNOME OS 时，我无法找到包含的“<ruby> 通话 <rt>  Calls </rt></ruby>”应用程序。所以，我无法截图给你看。


#### GNOME Web / Epiphany 的改进


![](/data/attachment/album/202109/24/130809kz3xptnz4natdn73.png)


GNOME Web（即 Epiphany 浏览器）最近进行了很多很棒的改进。


在 GNOME 41 中，Epiphany 浏览器现在利用 AdGuard 的脚本来阻止 YouTube 广告。别忘了，它还增加了对 Epiphany canary 构建版的支持。


#### 其他改进


在底层，有一些细微但重要的变化带来了更好、更快的用户体验。


例如，你可能会注意到，在应用程序/窗口的标题区域，图标更加醒目。这是为了提高清晰度和增强外观。


同样地，GNOME 应用程序和功能也有许多改进，你在使用它们时可能会发现：


* GNOME “<ruby> 地图 <rt>  Map </rt></ruby>”现在以一种用户友好的方式显示平均海平面。
* Nautilus 文件管理器进行了改进，支持有密码保护的压缩文件，并能够让你切换启用/禁用自动清理垃圾的功能
* “<ruby> 音乐 <rt>  Music </rt></ruby>”应用程序的用户界面进行了更新
* GNOME 文本编辑器有了更多功能
* GTK 更新至 4.4.0
* 增加 libawaita，以潜在地改善 GNOME 应用程序的用户体验


你可以参考 [官方更新日志和公告博文](https://help.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/41.0/) 来探索所有的技术变化。


### 总结


GNOME 41 可能不是一个突破性的升级，但它是一个带有许多有价值的补充的重要更新。


你可以期待在下个月发布 Fedora 35 中带有它。不幸的是，Ubuntu 21.10 将不包括它，但你可以在其他 Linux 发行版中等待它。

GNOME 41 stable release is ultimately here.

While GNOME 40 was a radical change forcing many users to adapt to a new workflow, GNOME 41 seems to settle the dust.

With GNOME 41, there are no significant workflow changes but new **feature additions** and **improvements** across the board.

GNOME 41 beta has been out there for a while. And, we tried the stable release right before the release date using [GNOME OS](https://itsfoss.com/gnome-os/?ref=news.itsfoss.com) to highlight what you can expect with it.

## GNOME 41 Features: What’s New?

GNOME 41 does not give you any new visual treats but useful improvements to help you improve the workflow or take control of it.

There are some GNOME app upgrades that come along with it.

Let me mention the key highlights of GNOME 41.

### GNOME 41 Software Context Tiles

![](https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2021/09/gnome-41-software.png)

Every release, users look forward to the improvements made to the GNOME Software Center.

While they have been improving it in the right direction, it needed a visual overhaul. And, this time, GNOME 41 comes with a much-needed UI refresh.

The software store is more descriptive and should look appealing to new users. Using emojis/creative icons to categorize applications makes the software center pop.

Like the [Apps for GNOME](https://news.itsfoss.com/apps-for-gnome-portal/) portal, the application screens on the Software center include more details to inform the user as much as possible without needing to refer to the project page or the web.

![](https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2021/09/gnome-41-software-app.png)

In other words, these are the context tiles added to an app page that provides information about device support, safety/permissions, age rating, download size, the project, and more.

You also get to choose the available add-ons for a particular app like GIMP to install in one go. So, you save time from finding add-ons and installing them individually.

GNOME 41 Software should prove to be much more helpful than it ever was.

### New Multitasking Options

![](https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2021/09/gnome-41-multitasking.png)

To help you improve the workflow, GNOME 41 comes baked in with new multitasking tweaks.

You get the toggle the hot corner to quickly open the Activities Overview. The ability to resize windows upon dragging them to the edges has also been added.

If you want, you can set a fixed number of workspaces available or keep it dynamic to adapt as you require.

In addition to these, you also get features to tweak:

- Multi-monitor workspaces
- Application switching behaviour

When you have multiple displays, you can choose to keep the workspaces restricted to a single screen or continue over connected displays.

And, when you head to switch applications and navigate through them, you can customize to preview the applications only in the same workspace or from all workspaces.

### Power Saving Settings

![](https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2021/09/gnome-41-power-settings.png)

A helpful performance tweak to save power is now available in GNOME 41. This is incredibly useful for laptop users to tune their performance manually or if an app requests switching the mode to save power.

![](https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2021/09/gnome-41-power-options.png)

### GNOME Calendar Improvements

GNOME Calendar now can open ICS files along with the ability to import the events.

### Touchpad Gestures

The workflow experience should be seamless when you utilize three-finger vertical swipe up/down actions to get the activity overview, and three-finger horizontal swipe right/left actions to navigate between workspaces.

It is good to see the focus on improving the workflow using the touchpad, similar to [elementary OS 6 features](https://news.itsfoss.com/elementary-os-6-features/).

### GNOME Connections App

![](https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2021/09/connections-gnome-41-1024x718.png)

A new “Connections” app has been added to connect to remote computers no matter the platform.

I still see the application as an alpha build, but maybe with the following few updates, you should get the finished version of the application.

I haven’t tried if it works, but it might be worth another brief article to show you how to use it.

### SIP/VoIP Support

With [GNOME 41 beta release](https://news.itsfoss.com/gnome-41-beta/), we spotted the inclusion of SIP/VoIP support.

If you are a business user or prefer international calls, you can now make VoIP calls directly from the dialpad in GNOME 41.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t find the “Calls” app included when using GNOME OS with GNOME 41 stable release. So, I couldn’t grab a screenshot of how it looks.

### GNOME Web / Epiphany Improvements

![](https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2021/09/gnome-web-41-1024x683.png)

GNOME Web or Epiphany browser has been receiving a lot of good improvements lately.

With GNOME 41, the epiphany browser now utilizes AdGuard’s script to block YouTube advertisements. Not to forget, the support for epiphany canary builds has been added as well.

### Other Improvements

Under the hood, several subtle but essential changes result in a better and faster user experience.

For instance, you may notice the icons more prominent in the header areas of application/windows. This is to improve clarity and enhance the look.

Similarly, there are numerous improvements to GNOME apps and functionalities that you might bump into when you use them:

- GNOME Map now shows the mean sea levels in a user-friendly way
- Improvements to Nautilus file manager to support password-protected zip files and the ability to toggle to let you enable/disable automatic trash cleaning
- Music app getting a UI refresh
- GNOME Text Editor gaining more features
- GTK updated to 4.4.0
- Addition of libawaita to potentially improve the user experience with GNOME apps

You can refer to the [official changelog and the announcement blog post](https://help.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/41.0/?ref=news.itsfoss.com) to explore all the technical changes.

## Wrapping Up

GNOME 41 may not be an experience-breaking upgrade, but it is a significant update with many valuable additions.

You can expect it with Fedora 35, which should release next month. Unfortunately, Ubuntu 21.10 will not include it, but you can wait it out for other Linux distributions.
