[GNOME 3.36](https://itsfoss.com/gnome-3-36-release/) 带来大量亟需的改进，同时也带来性能的重大提升。现在，在 6 个月后，我们终于引来了 GNOME 3.38，并带来了一系列重大的变化。


### GNOME 3.38 主要特色


这里是 GNOME 3.38 (代码名称：Orbis) 的主要亮点：






#### 可定制应用程序菜单


作为 GNOME 3.38 重大更改中的一部分，应用程序网格（或称应用菜单）现在是可以可定制的。


现在，你可以通过拖拽每个应用程序图标来创建文件夹，将它们移到文件夹，或移出文件夹并将其设置回应用网格。你也可以在应用网格中随心所欲地调整图标的位置。

此外，这些变化是一些即将到来的设计更改的基本组成部分，因此，看到我们可以期待的东西会很令人兴奋。


#### 日历菜单更新

随着最近一次的 GNOME 更新，通知区整洁了很多，但是现在随着 GNOME 3.38 的到来，你终于可以通过日历区域的正下方访问日历事件，使事情变得方便且容易访问。


它不是一个重大的视觉改造，但也是一些改善。


#### 家长控制改善


作为 GNOME 3.38 一部分，你将会注意家长控制服务。它支持与桌面、shell、设置以及其它各种各样组件的集成，来帮助你限制用户可以访问的内容。


#### 重新启动按钮


一些细微的改善导致了巨大的变化，重新启动按钮正是其中的一个变化。先单击 “关闭电源” / “关机” 按钮，再单击 “重新启动” 按钮的操作来重新启动系统总是让人很烦。


因此，随着 GNOME 3.38 的到来，你将最终会注意到一个作为单独按钮的 “重新启动” ，这将节省你的单击次数，平复你烦闷的心情。


#### 屏幕录制改善


[GNOME shell 内置的屏幕录制](https://itsfoss.com/gnome-screen-recorder/) 现在是一项独立的系统服务，这可能会使录制屏幕成为一种平滑流畅的体验。


另外，窗口截屏也有一些改善，并修复了一些错误：






#### GNOME 应用程序更新


GNOME 计算器也收到很多的错误修复。除此之外，你也将发现 [epiphany GNOME 浏览器](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNOME_Web) 的一些重大改变。


GNOME Boxes 现在允许你从一个操作系统列表中选择将要运行的操作系统，GNOME 地图也有一些图像用户界面上的更改。


当然，不仅限于这些，你页将注意到 GNOME 控制中心、联系人、照片、Nautilus，以及其它一些软件包的细微更新和修复。


#### 性能和多显示器支持改善


这里有一大堆底层的改进来全面地改善 GNOME 3.38 。例如，[Mutter](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutter_(software)) 有一些重要的修正，它现在允许在两个显示器中使用不同的刷新频率。


![](/data/attachment/album/202010/16/210656jiudw01ww6iz6bzn.jpg)


先前，如果一台显示器的刷新频率为 60 Hz，而另一台的刷新频率为 144 Hz ，那么刷新频率较慢的显示器将限制另外一台显示器的刷新频率。但是，随着在 GNOME 3.38 中的改善，它将能够处理多个显示器，而不会使显示器相互限制。


另外，[Phoronix](https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=GNOME-3.38-Last-Min-Mutter) 报告的一些更改指出，在一些情况下，缩短大约 10% 的渲染时间。因此，这绝对是一个很棒的性能优化。


#### 各种各样的其它更改


* 电池百分比指示器
* 电源菜单中的重新启动选项
* 新的欢迎指引
* 指纹登录
* 二维码扫描以共享 Wi-Fi 热点
* GNOME 浏览器的隐私和其它改善
* GNOME 地图现在反应敏捷并能根据屏幕大小改变其大小
* 重新修订的图标


你可以在它们的官方 [更改日志](https://help.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/3.38) 中找到一个详细的更改列表。


### 总结


GNOME 3.38 确实是一个令人赞叹的更新，它改善了 GNOME 用户体验。尽管 GNOME 3.36 带来了性能的很大改善，但是针对 GNOME 3.38 的更多优化仍然是一件非常好的事.


GNOME 3.38 将在 Ubuntu 20.10 和 [Fedora 33](https://itsfoss.com/fedora-33/) 中可用。Arch 和 Manjaro 用户应该很快就能获得。


我认为有很多变化是朝着正确的方向发展的。你觉得呢？

OK
[GNOME 3.36](https://itsfoss.com/gnome-3-36-release/) brought some much-needed improvements along with a major performance boost. Now, after 6 months, we’re finally here with GNOME 3.38 with a big set of changes.

## GNOME 3.38 Key Features

Here are the main highlight of GNOME 3.38 codenamed Orbis:

### Customizable App Menu

The app grid or the app menu will now be customizable as part of a big change in GNOME 3.38.

Now, you can create folders by dragging application icons over each other and move them to/from folders and set it right back in the app grid. You can also just reposition the icons as you want in the app grid.

Also, these changes are some basic building blocks for upcoming design changes planned for future updates — so it’ll be exciting to see what we can expect.

### Calendar Menu Updates

The notification area is a lot cleaner with the recent GNOME updates but now with GNOME 3.38, you can finally access calendar events right below the calendar area to make things convenient and easy to access.

It’s not a major visual overhaul, but there’s a few improvements to it.

### Parental Controls Improvement

You will observe a parental control service as a part of GNOME 3.38. It supports integration with various components of the desktop, the shell, the settings, and others to help you limit what a user can access.

### The Restart Button

Some subtle improvements lead to massive changes and this is exactly one of those changes. It’s always annoying to click on the “Power Off” / “Shut down” button first and then hit the “Restart” button to reboot the system.

So, with GNOME 3.38, you will finally notice a “Restart” entry as a separate button which will save you click and give you a peace of mind.

### Screen Recording Improvements

[GNOME shell’s built-in screen record](https://itsfoss.com/gnome-screen-recorder/) is now a separate system service which should potentially make recording the screen a smooth experience.

Also, window screencasting had several improvements to it along with some bug fixes:

### GNOME apps Updates

The GNOME calculator has received a lot of bug fixes. In addition to that, you will also find some major changes to the [epiphany GNOME browser](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNOME_Web).

GNOME Boxes now lets you pick the OS from a list of operating systems and GNOME Maps was updated with some UI changes as well.

Not just limited to these, you will also find subtle updates and fixes to GNOME control center, Contacts, Photos, Nautilus, and some other packages.

### Performance & multi-monitor support improvements

There’s a bunch of under-the-hood improvements to improve GNOME 3.38 across the board. For instance, there were some serious fixes to [Mutter](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutter_(software)) which now lets two monitors run at different refresh rates.

![Gnome Multi Monitor Refresh Rate](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2020/09/gnome-multi-monitor-refresh-rate.jpg)

Previously, if you had one monitor with a 60 Hz refresh rate and another with 144 Hz, the one with the slower rate will limit the second monitor. But, with the improvements in GNOME 3.38, it will handle multi-monitors without limiting any of them.

Also, some changes reported by [Phoronix](https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=GNOME-3.38-Last-Min-Mutter) pointed out around 10% lower render time in some cases. So, that’s definitely a great performance optimization.

### Miscellaneous other changes

- Battery percentage indicator
- Restart option in the power menu
- New welcome tour
- Fingerprint login
- QR code scanning for sharing Wi-Fi hotspot
- Privacy and other improvements to GNOME Browser
- GNOME Maps is now responsive and changes its size based on the screen
- Revised icons

You can find a details list of changes in their official [changelog](https://help.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/3.38).

## Wrapping Up

GNOME 3.38 is indeed an impressive update to improve the GNOME experience. Even though the performance was greatly improved with GNOME 3.36, more optimizations is a very good thing for GNOME 3.38.

GNOME 3.38 will be available in Ubuntu 20.10 and [Fedora 33](https://itsfoss.com/fedora-33/). Arch and Manjaro users should be getting it soon.

I think there are plenty of changes in right direction. What do you think?
